Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah hoo
Do, hoo-hoo-hoo
Do, hoo-hoo-hoo
Do, hoo-hoo-hoo (oh yeah, well)
Everybody's been so uptight
And forgetting to live the life
Let all the problems get them down
Till they make you wanna shout
Oh yeah
See everybody's been down on luck (yeah)
Now finally things are looking up (ooh yeah)
The sun has chased all the rain away
No more obstacles in our way
Now it's time to celebrate (come on yeah)
Come on and celebrate (that's what I want)
I wanna celebrate (because it's all right)
I celebrate you (I celebrate you), you celebrate me
Yeah, listen
There is oh, so many of us that
(Underestimate the power of love)
So much hate going 'round and I've had enough
I'm inviting you to fall in love
Though we been going through changes (shoo-do-do)
Just tryna' make it through day to day (shoo-do-do)
Tonight don't you worry 'bout a thing
Just cast your cares away
It's time to celebrate (come on yeah)
Come on and celebrate (It's what I want)
I wanna celebrate (It's time to celebrate)
I celebrate you (alright), you celebrate me (come on, come on)
(Celebrate you) It's time to celebrate
Come on, come on
Come on and celebrate (don't matter what color you are)
I wanna celebrate ('cause tonight everyone is a star)
I celebrate you, (you, you, you), you celebrate me (woo)
I'm gonna give you a reason
Why you should clap your hands and jump for joy
That's something we can believe in
Now that the rain is gone
We're gonna dance on a rainbow, oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause it's time to celebrate (come on)
Come on and celebrate (It's time to celebrate)
I wanna celebrate (because it's all right)
I celebrate you (I celebrate you), you celebrate me (you celebrate me)
It's time to celebrate (celebrate, you and me)
Come on and celebrate (don't matter what color you are, yeah)
I wanna celebrate (tonight everyone's a star yeah)
I celebrate you, you celebrate me
'Cause it's time to celebrate
(It's time to celebrate) come on and celebrate
(Come on, come on, come on, come on) I wanna celebrate
I celebrate you, you celebrate me
'Cause it's time to celebrate (celebrate, ay-ay-ay-ay)
Come on and celebrate (celebrate, ay-ay-ay-ay)
(Clap your hands)
I wanna celebrate (clap your hands)
(Together) I celebrate you, you celebrate me
'Cause it's time to celebrate (come on, come on, come on, come on)
Come on and celebrate (come on, come on, yeah-yeah)
I wanna celebrate
(We love you Whitney) I celebrate you, you celebrate me
'Cause it's time to celebrate
