Get It Together (Pt.1 & 2) Lyrics
Lyrics
Ooh wee, done got wise on the way you do it
Done got wise on the way you do it
If I keep loving you, my life will be ruined
I done got hip, uh, of your running 'round
Done got hip, looka here, to your running 'round
But do you know one thing
I'm gonna put you down
OH, get it together, ha
Get it together, looka here
Get it together, get it together
OH
You said that you wanted a brand new bag
You said you wanted, looka here, a brand new bag
But you, you were just jiving, you wanted to be a drag
Ha, you dropped out of school before you got it down
You hear me, you dropped out of school before you got it down
Now you ain't hip, you're the biggest fool in town
OH, get it together, uh
Get it together, get it together, get it together
OH, Maceo
Uh, go now, ha
Do the underdog, get on the log
Do the underdog, get on the log
Get it, get it
Sock it to 'em, ha
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, good God
One more time, one more time now
One more time
Now looka here, Maceo
Let me tell 'em 'bout this little bit
Let me tell 'em 'bout this little bit
You may dance good, you may have fast feet
You may dance good, you may have fast feet
But you ain't slick, your business is in the street
Now looka here, Maceo
Bring it down, but I want you to blow
Let me hear you, uh, get it, all right now
Come on, OW, go now, ha
Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime
OW, good God, hey, uh
Play it, play it, all right now, all right now
All right now, all right now
Now horns, lay out, that's right
Looka here now, ha, it's good now
Looka here now, there's something I wanna say right here
Now when I say "uh," I want you to hit me one time
Do you hear me? Let me hear you
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
Jabo, do you hear me?
Now when I say "uh" one time, you say "uh"
Ready? One time, uh, good God, ha
Now I'm gonna ask for two, can you give me two?
Can I get two? Two times, uh, good God
If you're hearing a noise, it's just me and the boys
So everybody be mellow
Somebody might drop their horn and things like that
So don't worry 'bout that
I gotta say it three times, can I get three, fellas?
Three times, uh, good God, ha
All right now, all right
Now if I ask for four, is it possible I can get four?
If I can get four, I gotta open the door and leave
I can get four? Give me four, uh, good God
Don't play so much, uh, don't be so mean
Think about that cold sweat
You can't melt, looka here
Redman, what kinda horn you play? Trombone?
Trombone, can I get a trombone?
Stretch it, that's right
Now same thing with you, Waymon
Stretch your note
Joe, can you play your little bit over there? Come on
Now Pee Wee, uh, Sinclair, I'm not gonna ask you to play, Jack
'Cause your horn is too big
And you got too much horn over there
Give me a little extra stroke there
Country, so I know you're playing guitar
Yeah
Sinclair, since you from Augusta, Georgia, like I am
Let me hear you play your baritone
You got to have some soul, right about here, now
Right now
Good God, alright, alright, get it
Now, fellas
Now just, just ease out of it
That's right, you keep playing Maceo
'Cause the groove is there
Now I'll tell you what I want you to do
Now when I say hit it, I want you to hit it
You hear me, Jabo? You hear me, Bernard?
But when I say quit it, I want you to quit it
You ready? Hit it!
Hit it! Quit it!
Waymon, it looks like you got a bad night tonight
But you're gonna be mellow, I know you're alright
Have another one, no, be cool
Alright, you ready? (Yeah)
Now, hit it, come on, uh!
Quit it!
Bernard got tired and quit on us
Alrighty, yes, and you still got the groove
You still got the groove
Bring it up, bring it up, come on
Bring it up, bring it up now, bring it up
Engineer, can you cut this thing down?
Fade me on outta here 'cause I gotta leave anyway
Fade it on out, I'm gone
Fade me out
