Move Lyrics - Singles - Manhattan Transfer

Move, c'mon -- move 

Nothing's lacking motion 

Not the heavens or the ocean 

Or the planets or the weather 

All are moving all together 

On the move 

Let's go - let's go 

Let's get t'movin' it 

Let's go - Let's get t'groovin' it 

Why're y'hesitating 

Can't you feel the rhythm waitin' 

Strike a groove, let's move 

Git it on! 

That's right! That's right! 

Don't ever have t'fight 

That's right 

Don't hold y'self so tight 

Give it a solid minute 

And you'll find you've fallen in it 

What's to prove? 

Just move - git it on 

Move it any way you want to move 

As long as you can fin' a groove 

that's cool, that'll 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 

I'm movin' I'm movin' 

I'm taking it on out 

Gotta bottle up 'n git it 

Listen to me - dig 

Time never hesitates, 

It's always just a little bossy 

Everybody knows a rolling stone 

Is never really very mossy 

Y' never wanna hesitate 

Y' feet'll take y'with 'em 

'Cause when y'moving 

You ain't got the time 

F'nothing else 

But paying strict attention 

To the music and the fascinatin' rhythm 

So I'm tellin' y'man 

To move it right along 

'N hurry up and sing your little song 

'N while you're 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 you're movin' and you're groovin' 

How you haven't got a second 

F' a little light revivin' 

'Cause you go too fast 

Time passes, this groove's too good to last 

When you're talking fas' y'lyin' 

'N there ain't nobody buyin' 

That's the sayin' 

Everybody's layin' down 

But you got a way 

Playing what you play 

Saying what you say 

Turnin' everything 'round 

Everybody's gotta dig it 

If they don't they're deaf 

I can testify that you were really gittin' in it 

Much as any person ever could 

'N y'really 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 

Let's git movin' it 

Git to groovin' it 

Better get to movin' while the gittin' is good 

Let's go - let's go 

Let's move git it on 

That's right - that's right 

Never have t'fight 

How you gonna move it 

Let's go - let's go 

Why are you hesitatin'? 

Can't y'feel the rhythm waitin'? 

Strike a groove 

Let's move git it on 

When y'hold yourself tight? 

Let's go - let's go 

Let's move git it on 

Move it any way you wanna move 

As long as you can strike a groove 

That's cool that'll do 

Move fast or move it slow 

Same any way you go 

Let's git movin' it 

Get t'groovin' it 

Better git movin' while the gittin' is good 

Let's go - let's go 

Give it a solid minute 

And you'll find you've fallen in it 

What's to prove? 

Just move git it on 

Strike that groove 

'N move 

'N don't be hesitatin' 

One lil' bit 

Got t'hip y' that's it 

So now will y'move? 

Background: 

Let's go - let's go 

Why are you hesitatin'? 

Can't y'feel the rhythm waitin'? 

Strike a groove 

Let's move git it on 

Gotta move - gotta move
