Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gather 'round, clap your hands
Come on and dance
Ha, dig the band
Come on
Hit it
Come on
Hit it
Hit it
Ow!
[Verse 2]
Oh
Hit it
Come on, baby
Get in the groove
Come on, baby
Let's take it smooth
On Hipsville
Ow!
Hipsville
Hipsville Avenue
Hit it
[Verse 3]
Hey
All these guys and girls are dressed so neat and clean
Come on, baby, yeah
Don't be so mean
Guys and girls, gather 'round
Come on everybody and dig this sound, oh
Ow!
[Verse 4]
Hit it
Bring it up
Bring it up
Bring it up
Can you do the jerk?
Then watch me work
Can you do the slide?
Then watch me glide
[Verse 5]
Bring it up, ow!
Bring it up
Bring it up
Oh no!
Oh no!
Hit it!
[Verse 6]
Bring it up
Bring it up, baby
Bring it up! Ow!
Hey
Bring it up
Bring it, bring it on up
Bring it up
Bring it on up
Bring it up, bring it on up
Bring it up
Bring it on up
Bring it up
Bring it on up
Bring it up
Bring it up, up, up, up
Bring it up
[Verse 7]
Come on, baby
Ow! Bring it up!
Bring it on home
Bring it on home
Well you get along
Bring it home
