Bring It Up (Hipster’s Avenue) (Live at the Apollo Theater, 1967)

Gather round, clap your hands
Come on and dance
Listen to me, and thank the band
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it

Hit it, come on, baby
And get in the groove
Come on, baby
Let's take it smooth on Hipsville
Hipsville, Hipsville Avenue
Hit it

All these guys and girls
Are dressed so neat and clean
Come on, baby, yeah
Don't be so mean
The guys and girls, they gather around
Come on everybody
And dig this sound, hey
OH, hit it

Bring it up
Bring it up, bring it up

Can you do the Jerk?
So watch me work
Can you do the Fly?
Oh, so watch me glide

Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up

Bring it up, bring it up
But don't you dare, go nowhere
Don't you dare, take it nowhere
Bring it up, bring it up

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
Clap your hands, stomp your feet
You are my, my pride and joy
Looka here, you little wonderful wonder
Can I be your lover boy?
Early in the morning when the sun come up
Have my tea from my favorite cup

Over in the midnight hour (All right)
In the morning (All right)
In the evening (All right)
