Get Down

Gilbert O'Sullivan · Very Best Of Gilbert O'sullivan [2012]

Told you once before

And I won't tell you no more

Get down, get down, get down

You're a bad dog baby

But I still want you 'round



You give me the creeps

When you jump on your feet

So get down, get down, get down

Keep your hands to yourself

I'm strictly out of bounds



Once upon a time I drank a little wine

Was as happy as could be, happy as could be

Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof

Baby what do you think you're doin' to me



Told you once before

And I won't tell you no more

So get down, get down, get down

You're a bad dog baby

But I still want you 'round around

I still want you around

aye aye aye



I don't give a damn

And I'd like you if you can to

Get down, get down, get down

You're bad dog baby

But I still want you 'round



Once upon a time I drank a little wine

Was as happy as could be, happy as could be

Now I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof

Baby what do you think you're doin' to me



Told you once before

And I won't tell you no more

So get down, get down, get down

You're a bad dog baby

But I still want you 'round around
