[Intro]
"Funky for you"
"Get up, get out and get something
Don't let the days of your life pass by"
[Verse 1]
Like Cleopatra, got the masses at my feet
Got a living dwell down on easy street
And I'm the latest craze, oh yeah
And if you stay a while
Inevitably, you're gonna bite my style
In your later days, well, well, well
[Chorus]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Don't let the days of your life pass you by, you got to
(Get up, get out and do something)
'Cause you and I got to do for you and I
[Verse 2]
Let me tell you what is fact and what is true
I get high a lot, ain't that much to do
I'm always in a daze, uh-huh
That was just a dream I had
Last night in my bubble bath
Next to my wishing well
Oh yeah, you gotta
[Chorus]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Don't let the days of your life pass you by, you got to
(Get up, get out and do something)
How will you make it if you never even try?
(Get up, get out and do something)
Can't spend your whole life tryin' to get high, you got to
(Get up, get out and do something)
'Cause you and I got to do for you and I
[Bridge]
In my dreams I dwell, uh-huh
'Cause all my dreams are swell, ooh
And you would too if you could see them
That's what I know, I gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Don't let the days of your life pass you by, you got to
(Get up, get out and do something)
How will you make it if you never even try? Come on and
(Get up, get out and do something)
Can't spend your whole life tryin' to get high, you got to
(Get up, get out and do something)
'Cause you and I got to do for you and I
[Verse 3]
What's been happening? How you doing? Where you been?
I'm further behind now than I was back then
Lost in some old maze, uh-huh
Some years have passed me by
All I want is to go get high
I'll get it together some other day
[Chorus]
(Get up, get out and do something
Why don't you do something?)
How will you make it if you never even try? Come on and
(Get up, get out and do something
Why don't you do something?)
You got to get up, get out
(Why don't you do something?)
