Hey pretty baby
(You can't sit down)
Don't you hear the drummer thumpin'
(You can't sit down)
You got to shake it like a crazy
(You can't sit down)
Because the band is sayin' somethin'
(You can't sit down)
Everybody is a jumpin'
(You can't sit down)
You gotta slop, bop, slip, slop, flip flop all about

You can't sit down
You can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move
Around and round
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
You gotta fly, fly, fly,
But on the ground
They're puttin' down
A crazy sound
No, no you can't sit down
No, no you can't sit down

When you're on South Street
(You can't sit down)
And the band is really bootin'
(You can't sit down)
You hear the hippy with the backbeat
(You can't sit down)
And you see the gang a groovin'
(You can't sit down)
Gotta get your motor movin'
(You can't sit down)
You gotta make it, break it, kick it all around

You can't sit down
You can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move
Around and round
You can't sit down
You can't sit down
You gotta fly, fly, fly,
But on the ground
They're puttin' down
A crazy sound
No, no you can't sit down
No, no you can't sit down

They're puttin' down
A crazy sound
No, no you can't sit down
No, no you can't sit down
