Action Packed Lyrics by Jonathan Richman

Action Packed: The Best of Jonathan Richman

1989

Well if the music gonna move me
Well first it's gotta have a beat
No I don't wanna sit down all night

I gotta feel it in my feet
Did you hear me, feel it in my feet
I can't take it slow and easy, I can't live like that
If the music's gonna move me, folks, it's gotta be action packed
Did you hear me, then what did I say?
I said action packed Ah right, yeah, Doo doo wah doo wah doo wah
If the music's gonna move me, well, it's gotta be action packed. Oh yeah now

Well if we're going to a party
Well I don't just sit and talk
Oh if we're going to party
Well your pal Jonathan wants to rock
Did you hear me? I want to rock!
I've got this feeling and I can't say what
But I can't sit still with this feeling I got!
If the music's gonna move me
Folks, it's gotta be action packed
Did you hear me? Then what did I say?
Doo doo wah doo wah doo wah
Music's gonna move me, oh it's gotta be action packed. Oh!

Music's gonna move on, oh it's gotta be action packed
If we're gonna be together
Well we gotta have some fun
No I don't want just a fine time
I've gotta have pandemonium
Did you hear me? Pandemonium!
Well I've got this feeling and I can't sit still
I can't explain but I try I will
If the music's gonna move me, folks, it's gotta be action packed

Did you hear me?
Then what did I say?
I said action packed! Then what did I -?
I think I said action packed!
I think that was it! All right!
