Kicking the Gong Around

Three steps forward and two steps back
Then count how far you've come
Is this what they mean when they say
Just to keep on truckin' along?
Or is this what they say when they mean what they said
When they meant "Hey, boy, move on!" (Move on, yeah)

Get it on, get it off, get it up
And then bring it all back down
Brush your feet or comb your hair
Stand on your head and run it all around
There's a man you gotta see over on the south side
If you want to keep kickin' that gong around (Kick it, yep)

When you chance to hear a certain ringin' in your ear
You're gonna know who's not at your door
Big wind in the kitchen or rain in the hall
He's a walkin' street corner waitin' out on the porch
Tie yourself to a baggage tag, move it out
That gong needs a kickin' around some more (Now, kick it)
