Get Up And Dance (7" Version) Lyrics by Rick James

1976

Yeeeaaah-whooo!
Get up!
Get on up
Huh! Get up!
Do you feel like partying
Do you feel like carrying on
Do you feel like getting your rocks off
Do you feel like throwng a stone
What is this feeling, that's got you so upset?
Is it the music, that's got your body wet?
Release the spirit, and let's just go for what we know
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance!
Now ain't no reason, to sit there on your chairs
If you'll be too cool, you'll turn into a square
Dance is the best thing, that you can do for two
So come on baby, I want to dance with you
Don't fight this feeling, let's just go for what we know, yeah
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance! Listen...
Let your body just ride on the rhythm, girl
Let's get closer, closer, and closer
And when we feel, we can't get no higher
Let's just do it all over
I feel like getting it off, girl
I feel like turning you 'round
I feel like doing it to you
I feel like bringing you down
What is this feeling, that's got me so upset?
Is it the music, that's got my body wet?
Release the spirit, let's just go for what we know, yeah
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and dance, get up and dance
Get up and daaance!
Get up - get up, get up - get up
Hey-ey, yeass-ah, ooow-ow-ow-ow
Get up - get up, get on up y'all
Get up - get up, get on up, y'all
Take it to the mighty children!
Get up - get up, hey-ey
Get up - get up, yeass-ah, ooow
Get on up now, children!
Get up - get up, oh-oh
Get up - get up, get on up y'all, heheh
Ooohh, ooooohhhhh...
Get up - get up, get up - get up, ow!!
Get on up y'all, get on up...
