There's a spanner in the works, you know,
You gotta step up your game to make it to the top
So go,
Got a little competition now,
You're gonna find it hard to cope,
Livin' on your own, ooh, ooh

Let's make this happen, girl,
We're gonna show the world that something
Good can work, and it can work for you
And you know that it will.

Let's get this started, girl,
We're movin' up, we're movin' up
It's been a lot to change, but you
Will always get what you want.

It took a little time
To make a little better
It's only going out,
Just one thing then another you know, you know

It took a little time
To make a little better
It's only going out,
Just one thing then another you know, no

Let's make this happen, girl,
We're gonna show the world that something
Good can work, and it can work for you
And you know that it will.

Let's get this started, girl,
We're movin' up, we're movin' up
It's been a lot to change, but you
Will always get what you want.
