Manhattan Transfer

Music by Denzil deCosta Best - Lyrics by Jon Hendricks
Move, cmon -- move
Nothings lacking motion
Not the heavens or the ocean
Or the planets or the weather
All are moving all together
On the move
Lets go - lets go
Lets get tmovin it
Lets go - Lets get tgroovin it
Whyre yhesitating
Cant you feel the rhythm waitin
Strike a groove, lets move
Git it on!
Thats right! Thats right!
Dont ever have tfight
Thats right
Dont hold yself so tight
Give it a solid minute
And youll find youve fallen in it
Whats to prove?
Just move - git it on
Move it any way you want to move
As long as you can fin a groove
thats cool, thatll do
Move fast or move it slow
Same any way you go
(Repeat Chorus)
Background
Make a motion - move!
Strike a groove
make an effort - swing!
Shake that thing
Make a motion
Move-groove
Im movin Im movin
Im taking it on out
Gotta bottle up n git it
Listen to me - dig
Time never hesitates,
Its always just a little bossy
Everybody knows a rolling stone
Is never really very mossy
Y never wanna hesitate
Y feetll take ywith em
Cause when ymoving
You aint got the time
Fnothing else
But paying strict attention
To the music and the fascinatin rhythm
So Im tellin yman
To move it right along
N hurry up and sing your little song
N while youre moving madly
You can sing yourself a happy
Little ditty while you groove
And then you never have to worry
Bout striking a good groove
I was diggin whatcha talkin bout
And listenin to the groovy way
You spit it out
And baby that was really somethin to hear
Funny, when youre movin and youre groovin
How you havent got a second
F a little light revivin
Cause you go too fast
Time passes, this grooves too good to last
When youre talking fas ylyin
N there aint nobody buyin
Thats the sayin
Everybodys layin down
But you got a way
Playing what you play
Saying what you say
Turnin everything round
Everybodys gotta dig it
If they dont theyre deaf
I can testify that you were really gittin in it
Much as any person ever could
N yreally did it good
Come and face the facts
Come show the people how you move it on the sax
Rich, you move in style!
Make all the moves, find all the strangest grooves
Man , what a tone!
Come play the saxophone
Come show the people how you move it on the horn
Lets git movin it
Git to groovin it
Better get to movin while the gittin is good
Lets go - lets go
Lets move git it on
Thats right - thats right
Never have tfight
How you gonna move it
Lets go - lets go
Why are you hesitatin?
Cant yfeel the rhythm waitin?
Strike a groove
Lets move git it on
When yhold yourself tight?
Lets go - lets go
Lets move git it on
Move it any way you wanna move
As long as you can strike a groove
Thats cool thatll do
Move fast or move it slow
Same any way you go
Lets git movin it
Get tgroovin it
Better git movin while the gittin is good
Lets go - lets go
Give it a solid minute
And youll find youve fallen in it
Whats to prove?
Just move git it on
Strike that groove

N dont be hesitatin
One lil bit
Got thip y thats it
So now will ymove?
Background:
