Get On Up
Suzy Q Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get on up come on the floor
Get on up and clap some more
Do it again and turn it around
Roll the beat, don't stop your feet
Oh, yeah...

I let the music take control
You've got to get on down, aha
You've got to turn around, aha
And let the lights can't be get off
Come on, get all around, aha
I said, now, get on down, aha

Get on up come on the floor
Get on up and clap some more
Do it again, turn it around
Roll the beat, don't stop your feet
Oh, yeah... Oh, yeah.

Now let your feet move in the flame
You've got to get on down, aha
You've got to turn around, aha
Now feel the rhythm, let the music play
Come on, get all around, aha
I said, now, get on down, aha

Get on up come on the floor
Get on up and clap some more
Do it again and turn it around
Roll the beat, don't stop your feet
Oh, yeah...

Let the DJ drive you on!

Now let the DJ drive you insane
You've got to get on down, aha
You've got to turn around, aha
And let the sound goes through your veins
Come on, get all around, aha
I said, now, get on down, aha

Get on up come on the floor
Get on up and clap some more
Do it again and turn it around
Roll the beat, don't stop your feet
Get on up come on the floor
Get on up and clap some more
Do it again and turn it around
Roll the beat, don't stop your feet

You've got to get on up, get on up, get on up
And don't stop your feet
Let the DJ turn you on




Get on up again, oh, get on up...
(Jerry Cucuzzella, Giovanni D'Orazio, Sergio Panzera)
