Get You Goin'
Alvin & The Chipmunks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Coast to coast

We've been all around, everywhere, it's quite the sound
East Coast to L.A. and all that's on the way
Don't want flashy things, fancy cars, diamond rings
Let's go rock the town, buy it on the heat
Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Gets you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

Oh, oh, oh, whoa baby
We keep you rockin'
Whoa

Five times in a week, chocolate down, just to feed
Do it all again and all because of me
Three gigs on the road from Canada to Mexico
Rock hard everyday 'cause that's just how we do

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

One to the two, two to the three
And that's the chipmunk's race to be
We saw coast to coast to all the spots that are jumpin'
Come to the city where the munks chat

So when you see us on your television, we got a proposition
Get your body in position, now that's the mission
Coast to coast, we're comin' through
On tour with the munks, that's how we do

Coast to coast

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'
Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'

Get you goin', keep you rockin'
Start the party, never stoppin'




Get you movin', get you feelin'
Nothing stoppin', all for dreamin'
