OFF THE WALL (Rod Temperton) When the world is on your shoulder Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down If you can't hang with the feeling Then there ain't no room for you this part of town 'Cause we're the party people night and day Livin' crazy that's the only way So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf And just enjoy yourself Groove, let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall) Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall) You can shout out all you want to 'Cause there ain't no sin in folks all getting loud If you take the chance and do it Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down 'Cause we're the party people night and day Livin' crazy that's the only way So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf And just enjoy yourself C'mon and groove, and let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall) Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall) Do what you want to do There ain't no rules it's up to you (ain't no rules it's all up to you) It's time to come alive And party on right through the night (all right) Gotta hide your inhibitions Gotta let that fool loose deep inside your soul Want to see an exhibition Better do it now before you get to old 'Cause we're the party people night and day Livin' crazy that's the only way So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf And just enjoy ourselves/yourself C'mon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall) Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall) So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf And just enjoy yourself C'mon and groove (yeah) let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all (live life off the wall) Live your life off the wall (live it off the wall) Michael Jackson: Lead and Background Vocals Louis Johnson: Bass John Robinson: Drums David Williams: Guitar Marlo Henderson: Guitar Greg Phillinganes: Electric Piano and Synthesizer Michael Boddicker: Synthesizer Programming George Duke: Synthesizer and Synthesizer Programming Paulinho da Costa: Percussion Horns arranged by Jerry Hey and performed by THE SEAWIND HORNS: Jerry Hey: Trumpet and Flügelhorn Larry Williams: Tenor, Alto Sax and Flute Kim Hutchcroft: Baritone, Tenor Sax and Flute William Reichenbach: Trombone Gary Grant: Trumpet Rhythm and Vocal arrangement by Rod Temperton (c) 1979 Rondor Music (London) Ltd.
