Hey, pretty baby, (You can't sit down.) 

Don't you hear the drummer thumpin'? (You can't sit down.)
          A
You gotta shake it like a crazy, (You can't sit down.) 
          E
Cause the band is sayin' something. (You can't sit down.) 
     B
Everybody is a-jumpin', (You can't sit down.) 
          E
You gotta slop, bop, flip- flop, Hip-hop, all around. 

CHORUS:
 E
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down.) 

You gotta move, move, move, around and 'round.
     A 
(You can't sit down, you can't sit down.) 
          E
You gotta fly, fly, fly, way off the ground. 
        B               A
They're puttin' down, a crazy sound. 
            E
No, no, you can't sit down, 

No, no, you can't sit down. 

#2.
E
When you're on South Street, (You can't sit down.)

And the band is really bootin', (You can't sit down.) 
             A
You hear the hippy with the back beat, (You can't sit down.) 
        E
And you see the gang a-groovin', (You can't sit down.) 
      B
Gotta get your bottom movin', (You can't sit down.) 
          E
You gotta make it, break it, shake it all around. 

CHORUS:
 
#3.
E
Yeah, yeah, hey, pretty baby, (You can't sit down.) 

A-don'tcha really dance divine now, (You can't sit down.) 
              A
You're really shakin' like a-crazy, (You can't sit down.) 
           E
A-don'tcha never leave the line now, (You can't sit down.)
        B
A-gonna do it one more time now, (You can't sit down.) 
          E
You gotta slop, bop, flip- flop, hip-hop, never stop.
