Move, c'mon - move
Nothing's lacking motion
Not the heavens or the ocean
Or the planets or the weather
All are moving all together
On the move

Let's go - let's go
Let's get t'movin' it
Let's go - Let's get t'groovin' it
Why're why'hesitating
Can't you feel the rhythm waitin'
Strike a groove, let's move
Get it on!

That's right! That's right!
Don't ever have t'fight
That's right
Don't hold why'self so tight
Give it a solid minute
And you'll find you've fallen in it
What's to prove?

Just move - get it on
Move it any way you want to move
As long as you can fin' a groove
That's cool, that'll do

Move fast or move it slow
Same any way you go

Make a motion - move!
Strike a groove
make an effort - swing!
Shake that thing
Make a motion
Move-groove

I'm movin' I'm movin'
I'm taking it on out
Gotta bottle up 'n git it
Listen to me - dig
Time never hesitates,
It's always just a little bossy

Everybody knows a rolling stone 
Is never really very mossy
why'never want to hesitate
why'feet'll take why'with 'em
'Cause when why'moving
You ain't got the time
F'nothing else
But paying strict attention
To the music and the fascinatin' rhythm
So I'm tellin' why'man
To move it right along

And hurry up and sing your little song
And while you're moving madly
You can sing yourself a happy
Little ditty while you groove
And then you never have to worry
'Bout striking a good groove

I was diggin' whatcha talkin' 'bout
And listenin' to the groovy way
You spit it out
And baby that was really somethin' to hear
Funny, when you're movin' and you're groovin'
How you haven't got a second
For a little light revivin'
'Cause you go too fast
Time passes, this groove's too good to last
When you're talking fas' why'lyin'
And there ain't nobody buyin'
That's the sayin'
Everybody's layin' down
But you got a way
Playing what you play
Saying what you say
Turnin' everything 'round
Everybody's gotta dig it
If they don't they're deaf

I can testify that you were really gittin' in it
Much as any person ever could
And you really did it good

Come and face the facts
Come show the people how you move it on the sax
Rich, you move in style!
Make all the moves, find all the strangest grooves
Man, what a tone!
Come play the saxophone
Come show the people how you move it on the horn

Let's git movin' it
Git to groovin' it
Better get to movin' while the gittin' is good
Let's go - let's go
Let's move git it on

That's right - that's right
Never have to fight
How you gonna move it

Let's go - let's go
Why are you hesitatin'?
Can't you feel the rhythm waitin'?
Strike a groove
Let's move get it on

Why you hold yourself tight?
Let's go - let's go
Let's move get it on

Move it any way you want to move
As long as you can strike a groove
That's cool that'll do
Move fast or move it slow
Same any way you go
Let's get movin' it
Get to groovin' it
Better get movin' while the gettin' is good

Let's go - let's go
Give it a solid minute
And you'll find you've fallen in it
What's to prove?
Just move get it on

Strike that groove
And move
And don't be hesitatin'
One lil' bit
Got to hip ya that's it
So now will you move?

Let's go - let's go
Why are you hesitatin'?
Can't you feel the rhythm waitin'?
Strike a groove
Let's move git it on

Gotta move - gotta move
