Lyrics
Boss man says sit down I say no, not today Music in my two feet Nothing in my way Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey! Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey! Up on my feet, dance in the street Nobody tells me sit down Rule book said stay quiet I said hear the band Trumpet in the morning Dancing hand in hand Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey! Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey! Up on my feet, dance in the street Nobody tells me sit down Stand up, stand up Everybody stand up Stand up, stand up Horns go! Little bird is singing Big sun climbing high Everybody moving Shoulders to the sky Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey! Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey! Up on my feet, dance in the street Nobody tells me sit down Nobody tells me sit down Hey! Hey!
