Manhattan Transfer - MOVE lyrics

rate me

Move, c'mon -- move

Nothing's lacking motion

Not the heavens or the ocean

Or the planets or the weather

All are moving all together

On the move

Let's go - let's go

Let's get t'movin' it

Let's go - Let's get t'groovin' it

Why're y'hesitating

Can't you feel the rhythm waitin'

Strike a groove, let's move

Git it on!

That's right! That's right!

Don't ever have t'fight

That's right

Don't hold y'self so tight

Give it a solid minute

And you'll find you've fallen in it

What's to prove?

Just move - git it on

Move it any way you want to move

As long as you can fin' a groove

that's cool, that'll do

Move fast or move it slow

Same any way you go

(Repeat Chorus)

Background

Make a motion - move!

Strike a groove

make an effort - swing!

Shake that thing

Make a motion

Move-groove

I'm movin' I'm movin'

I'm taking it on out

Gotta bottle up 'n git it

Listen to me - dig

Time never hesitates,

It's always just a little bossy

Everybody knows a rolling stone

Is never really very mossy

Y' never wanna hesitate

Y' feet'll take y'with 'em

'Cause when y'moving

You ain't got the time

F'nothing else

But paying strict attention

To the music and the fascinatin' rhythm

So I'm tellin' y'man

To move it right along

'N hurry up and sing your little song

'N while you're moving madly

You can sing yourself a happy

Little ditty while you groove

And then you never have to worry

'Bout striking a good groove

I was diggin' whatcha talkin' 'bout

And listenin' to the groovy way

You spit it out

And baby that was really somethin' to hear

Funny, when you're movin' and you're groovin'

How you haven't got a second

F' a little light revivin'

'Cause you go too fast

Time passes, this groove's too good to last

When you're talking fas' y'lyin'

'N there ain't nobody buyin'

That's the sayin'

Everybody's layin' down

But you got a way

Playing what you play

Saying what you say

Turnin' everything 'round

Everybody's gotta dig it

If they don't they're deaf

I can testify that you were really gittin' in it

Much as any person ever could

'N y'really did it good

Come and face the facts

Come show the people how you move it on the sax

Rich, you move in style!

Make all the moves, find all the strangest grooves

Man , what a tone!

Come play the saxophone

Come show the people how you move it on the horn

Let's git movin' it

Git to groovin' it

Better get to movin' while the gittin' is good

Let's go - let's go

Let's move git it on

That's right - that's right

Never have t'fight

How you gonna move it

Let's go - let's go

Why are you hesitatin'?

Can't y'feel the rhythm waitin'?

Strike a groove

Let's move git it on

When y'hold yourself tight?

Let's go - let's go

Let's move git it on

Move it any way you wanna move

As long as you can strike a groove

That's cool that'll do

Move fast or move it slow

Same any way you go

Let's git movin' it

Get t'groovin' it

Better git movin' while the gittin' is good

Let's go - let's go

Give it a solid minute

And you'll find you've fallen in it

What's to prove?

Just move git it on

Strike that groove

'N move

'N don't be hesitatin'

One lil' bit

Got t'hip y' that's it

So now will y'move?

Background:

Let's go - let's go

Why are you hesitatin'?

Can't y'feel the rhythm waitin'?

Strike a groove

Let's move git it on

Gotta move - gotta move
