On with the Action

Something going on at the corner of the block

It's the kids down there

They were startin' to rock

Hot black fever runnin every place

When the Greek kid pulled a knife and pushed it in his face

Some girl makes it with a lover in the door

As the ambulance pulls away, she cries out more

And it's all night long, all night long

On with the action

You need the fastest legs alive

On with the action

If you can't run you can't survive

On with the action

Mama's boy and teacher's pet

On with the action

It's down our street, is it in yours yet

All the kids stand laughin'

They never had such fun

Then someone cuts a brown man who just can't run

And the queen that's been standin' behind the toilet door

His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore

But the minister's starin' with his bible in his hand

Was this Gods children, he didn't understand

And it's all night long, all night long

On with the action

You need the fastest legs alive

On with the action

If you can't run you can't survive

On with the action

Mama's boy and teacher's pet

On with the action

It's down our street, is it in yours yet

And it's all night long, all night long

On with the action

You need the fastest legs alive

On with the action

If you can't run you can't survive

On with the action

Mama's boy and teacher's pet

On with the action

It's down our street, is it in yours yet
