[Verse 1]
Wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touch down base, living on the run
And make no sweat of the hole that you're digging
[Verse 2]
Wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Your shit jokes remind me of Digsy's
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capitol city in the sun
[Chorus]
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes
Get a grip of yourself inside
[Verse 1]
So wash your face in the morning sun
Flash your pen at the song that I'm singing
Touch down base, living on the run
Make no sweat of the hole that you're digging
[Chorus]
Kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes
Get a grip of yourself inside
[Post-Chorus]
Inside! (Get a grip)
Inside! (Get a grip)
Inside! (You betcha)
(You betcha)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
So wrap up cold when it's warm outside
Please sit down, you make me feel giddy
Be my magic carpet ride
Fly me down to capitol city
[Chorus]
Been kicking up a storm
From the day that I was born
Sing a song for me
One from 'Let It Be'
Open up your eyes
Get a grip of yourself inside
[Post-Chorus]
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
Get a grip inside
You betcha!
[Outro]
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, yeah, yeah, yeah!
