Whoo!

[Verse 1]
You got rhythm in your soul
You got the groove under good control
You've got the laugh not the real thing laugh
So go right ahead and express yourself
You carry on!

[Chorus]
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(All you do is carry on)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(You carry on!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
([?] baby and carry on now)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!

[Verse 2]
Those nights on your feet, mmm, out of sight!
The way you move it makes you dynamite
Baby you sho' 'nuff got that funky beat
You got me moving from my seat to my feet
So carry on!

[Chorus]
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(Get on the floor baby and carry on now!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(You carry on, ah yeah!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(Please let me see you carry on now)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!

Ah you let yourself loose!
You got it!

Whoo!

[Verse 3]
Everyone's carrying on from (East to West)
North and Souths got a carry on contest now
So jump side by side, back and swing
Don't be afraid of being a human being
You carry on!

[Chorus]
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(All you do is carry on now!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(You carry on, ah yeah!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(Get on that floor and carry on!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(Yeah baby)

[Verse 4]
Do the breakdown! (Do it!)
You do the wash machine (Do it!)
Do the penguin baby (Do it!)
And get on the scene (Do it!)
Everybody's carrying on, from coast to coast
Get on that floor baby and show them who's the most
You carry on!
Ah yeah

[Outro]
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(All you do now is rock steady baby!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
(You carry on, ah yeah!)
Do it, do it, do it, do it, carry on!
