I saw my problems and I'll see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger, we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word
They think our love is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand, it's just a cryin' shame
Their lips are lyin', only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel, grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
We take the pressure and we throw away conventionality
Belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
This is a life of illusion, a life of control
Mixed with confusion what're we doin' here?
We take the pressure, and we throw away conventionality
Belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are, grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
Grease is the word, is the word, is the word
About This Song
"Grease Is the Word" is an uplifting disco-pop anthem that celebrates youthful love and the courage to be authentic in the face of adult skepticism. The Bee Gees' lyrics champion young romance as genuine and meaningful, rejecting dismissive attitudes that label teen love as merely "growing pains" while emphasizing the importance of following one's heart over societal expectations. Musically, the song features the group's signature tight harmonies layered over a driving disco beat with orchestral flourishes, creating an infectious energy that perfectly captures the exuberant spirit of the late 1970s. The repeated mantra "grease is the word" transforms a simple title into a declaration of identity and belonging, making it both the perfect theme song for the hit musical and a standalone celebration of youth culture. The track's blend of romantic optimism and danceable grooves helped establish it as one of the defining songs of the disco era.
