EHey, pretty baby, (You can't sit down.) 
Don't you hear the drummer thumpin'? (You can't sit down.)
You gotta Ashake it like a crazy, (You can't sit down.) 
Cause the Eband is sayin' something. (You can't sit down.) 
EveryBbody is a-jumpin', (You can't sit down.) 
You gotta Eslop, bop, flip- flop, Hip-hop, all around. 
CHORUS:
(EYou can't sit down, you can't sit down.) 
You gotta move, move, move, around and 'round.
(You Acan't sit down, you can't sit down.)

EWhen you're on South Street, (You can't sit down.)
And the band is really bootin', (You can't sit down.) 
You hear the Ahippy with the back beat, (You can't sit down.) 
And you Esee the gang a-groovin', (You can't sit down.) 
Gotta Bget your bottom movin', (You can't sit down.) 
You gotta Emake it, break it, shake it all around.

You're really Ashakin' like a-crazy, (You can't sit down.) 
A-don'tcha Enever leave the line now, (You can't sit down.)
A-gonna Bdo it one more time now, (You can't sit down.) 
You gotta Eslop, bop, flip- flop, hip-hop, never stop.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
