get down
Boy Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What to do with yourself
All sick and tired
What to do with myself
Get down and get the swing
I'm just gonna wait right here
'til you come over here
Maybe next week
Get down and get the swing
Come on mover
Come on switchman
Come on shaker
Come on switchman baby
Get Down Cha-Cha
Shake your thing
Don't send that playback
Cause I won't get it
I'm already gone
And don't lie to me
Cause I won't hear it
I'm already gone
The lyrics of Boy Girl's song "Get Down" express a feeling of restlessness and boredom. Being "sick and tired" is repeated twice, indicating that the singer is experiencing a prolonged sense of dissatisfaction. They are unsure of how to occupy themselves, asking themselves and possibly others, "What to do with yourself? What to do with myself?" The solution offered is to "get down and get the swing," implying that music and dancing can relieve some of their frustration. However, the singer seems resigned to wait for something or someone to come to them, saying, "I'm just gonna wait right here 'til you come over here. Maybe next week, maybe never." This line suggests a sense of hopelessness, waiting for some change that may never come.
The repetitive refrains of "come on mover," "come on switchman," and "come on shaker" could be interpreted as a call for action or motivation, encouraging someone to get up and dance. The lines "Get Down Cha-Cha, shake your thing" emphasize the importance of moving to the music, perhaps suggesting that physical activity can alleviate the boredom the singer is experiencing.
