Get up off of that beat
And shake it you'll feel better
Get up off of that beat
It'll relieve your depression
Get up off of that beat
And shake it you'll feel better
Get up off of that beat
It'll re-le-ah-le-ah-le-ah

Is this thing real, is this the real thing ?
it's such a big deal must be the real thing
As this thing moves, it's the real thing- it's such
a big deal must be the real thing
(spoken: you know what I mean? )
Is this thing real, is this the real thing?
it's such a big deal must be the real thing
As this thing moves, it's the real thing- it's such
a big deal must be the real thing
Can't you feel it now boy?
can't you feel the sound? tell me what are you gonna do?
Cause your head's in the sky and your feet on the ground
and everybody's waitin' on you.
Can't you feel it now boy?
can't you feel the sound? tell me what are you gonna do?
Cause your head's in the sky and your feet on the ground
and everybody's waitin' on you.
You're so damn clever, you're tellin' me the weather,
just like you're sellin' me a car
You're so damn wise, don't you realize you don't even know who you are
You're so damn clever, you're tellin' me the weather
just like you're sellin' me a car
You're so damn wise, don't you realize you don't even know.....

Is this thing real? is this thing real?
is this thing real? is this thing real?
Well it's gotta be real. well it's gotta be real.
well it's gotta be real. well it's gotta be real.

I'll tell you what real is. I'll tell you what real is.
Hey, man, there's a new dance going around, ya know?
They're doing it from the east to the west
And everybody's learning to do it the best
And it' called the march, 2, 3, 4, hup 2, 3, 4
March 2, 3, 4, hup 2, 3, 4
Well we are going to war ladies and gentlemen
I don't care what you think is happening
The world is going to war
So you better get up and learn to do the
March 2, 3, 4, march 2, 3, 4

Can't you feel it now boy?
can't you feel the sound? tell me what are you gonna do?
Cause your head's in the sky and your feet are on the
ground and everybody's waitin' on you
You're so damn clever, you're tellin' me the weather
just like you're sellin' me a car
You're so damn wise don't you realize you don't even know, even know
Say, say- well I'm going downtown the other day but
I didn't want to be a drag
Say- I go up, down, come one baby, I'll show you my brand new bag
Well I pick up the phone and dial your number but I didn't know what to say

You say come here boy- I turn you around the other way-----
(spoken: do the polka!)
