Get Up

by Neil Ford

GET UP – Move to the middle - Don’t let that music stop
GET UP – Move to the middle – You’re up there til you drop
GET UP – Take in the rhythm – Let your body take control
GET UP – Take in the rhythm – It will take your very soul

We’re out, we’re happy, we’re on the town
We’re in an’ out of places, looking for the sounds
It don’t matter to us what the weather chucks out
We’re hot on the music. We’re moving it about

There’s no time for us to be waiting on the street
We’re looking for the venue for moving our feet
The people on the stage have got the music thumping
With us out on the floor and it’s really pumping

We ain’t got no time for people makin’ small talk
We just want to dance. We ain’t finished by a long chalk
The beats coming through. The moves are getting sassy
There’s people joining in. It’s really getting classy
