==Lyrics==
Da da da
Bah buh bu bah
Ba ba ba, Duh da…
Da da da da da da, da da da da!
(Mmmmm)
 
[Verse 1]
Come on in, I'm glad you made it
You're all my friends, let me just say this
The only thing required is to be true 
To the very unique thing that makes you you 
(Mmm…)
[Verse 2]
Toss your talent in, like making gumbo
You stir it all in, to make the perfect combo
Nothing is wasted, it all gets used 
Like when we play together, we just can't lose 
[Chorus]
It's a joyful celebration
You don't need an invitation
It's joyful, now everyone can see
Your very special spice makes us complete
[Verse 3]
There's hidden treasure, here in the bayou
Keep yourself open, life can float right by you
It may surprise you, what you can find
Underneath the surface with an open mind
[repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Sometimes it's hard to believe that the very thing
We were looking for was right here all along (just like me)
Let's not waste any more time doubting what's inside
Everyone can sing this song
[Chorus 2/ending]
It's a joyful celebration
You don't need an invitation
It's joyful; this band just can't be beat
Because your special spice makes us 
Because your unique spark makes us
Because your special spice... makes us... complete
Because your special spice makes life complete!
