You Can't Sit Down Songtext
von The Shangri‐Las

Yeah, pretty baby (you can′t sit down)
Don't you hear the drummer thumpin′? (You can't sit down)
You get me singing like I'm crazy (you can′t sit down)
Because the band is sayin′ something (you can't sit down)
Everybody is a-jumpin′ (you can't sit down)
You gotta flip-flop, flip-flop, hip-hop, never stop

You can′t sit down, you can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move, around and ′round
You can't sit down, you can't sit down
You gotta fly, fly, fly, way off the ground
You′re puttin′ down a crazy, sound
You can't sit down, oh no, you can′t sit down


When you're on South Street (you can′t sit down)
And the band is really movin' (you can′t sit down)
You hear the hip beat with the backbeat (you can't sit down)
And you see the gang keep groovin' (you can′t sit down)
You gotta get your motor movin′ (you can't sit down)
You gotta make it, break it, shake it all around

You can′t sit down, you can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move, around and ′round
You can't sit down, you can′t sit down
You gotta fly, fly, fly, way off the ground
You're puttin' down a crazy sound
You can′t sit down, oh no, you can′t sit down

Hey, pretty baby (you can't sit down)
You know you really dance so fine now (you can′t sit down)
You're really shakin′ like a crazy (you can't sit down)
Oh, don′t you ever leave the line now (you can't sit down)
You're gonna do it one more time now (you can′t sit down)
You gotta flip-flop, flip-flop, hip-hop, never stop


You can′t sit down, you can't sit down
You gotta move, move, move, around and ′round
You can't sit down, you can′t sit down
You gotta fly, fly, fly, way off the ground
You're puttin′ down a crazy sound
You can't sit down, oh no, you can't sit down
