Get It Together - Pt. 1

Don't guess why
 Over what you're doing
 Don't guess why
 Over what you're doing
 If I keep loving you
 My life would be ruined
 I hip
 I'll be running round
 Good God, hip, look here
 To your running round
 But do you know one thing
 I'm gonna put you down
 Oh, get it together
 Get it together, look here
 Get it together, get it together
 You said that you wanted a brand new bag
 You said you wanted
 Look here, a brand new bag
 But you, you were just jiving
 You wanted to feel dragged
 You ducked out of school
 Before you got it down, you hear me
 You ducked out of school
 Before you got it down
 Now you ain't hip
 You're the biggest fool in town
 Oh, get it together
 Get it together, get it together
 Get it together, oh Maceo
 Do the underdog
 Get on a log
 Do the underdog
 Tell me, love
 Get it, get it, shotgun
 Sock it to 'em
 Hey, hey, hey, hey
 Good God, one more time
 One more time now
 One more time
 Now look here, Maceo
 Let me tell about this little bit
 Let me tell about this little bit
 You may dance good
 You may have fast feet
 You may dance good
 You may have fast feet
 But you ain't slick
 Your business is in the street
 Now look here, Maceo
 Bring it down but I want you to blow
 Lemme hear you, uh, get
 All right now, come on

 There's something
 I wanna say right here
 Now when I say uh

 Do you hear me? Lemme hear you
 Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
 Jabone, do you hear me?
 Now when I say uh, one time
 You say uh, ready
 One time, uh, good God, ha
 Now I'm gonna ask for two
 Can you give me two?
 Can I get two, two times?
 Uh, good God
 If you hear any noise
 It's just me and the boys
 So everybody be mellow
 Somebody might drop their
 Horn and things like that
 But don't worry about that
 I gotta say it three times
 Can I get three fellows?
 Three times, uh, good God, ha
 All right now, all right
 Now if I ask for four
 Is it possible I can get four?
 If I can get four
 I got to open the door and leave
 I can get four, gimme four
 Uh, good God
 Don't play so much, uh
 Don't be so mean
 Like about that cold sweat
 You came out, look here
 Red, man, what kind of horn you play?
 A trombone, trombone
 Can I get a little taste of that trombone?
 Right about now
 Uh, strike it, that's right
 Now tell you what I'm gonna do
 Jabone, stretch your nose
 Joe, can you play a little bit over there?
 Come on, now Pee Wee
 I'm not gonna ask you to play, Jack
 'Cause your horn is too big
 Man, you got too much horn over there
 Gimme a little extra scope there, Country
 So I know you're playing guitar, yeah
 Sinclair, since you're from
 Augusta, Georgia, like I am
 Let me hear you play your Baritone
 You got to have some soul
 Right about here, now, right now
 All right, all right, get it
 Now, fellas, now just, just ease out of it
 That's right, you keep playing, Maceo
 'Cause the groove is there
 Now tell you what I want you to do
 Now when I say hit it
 I want you to hit it
 You hear me, Jabone
 You hear me, Bernard
 But when I say quit it
 I want you to quit it
 You ready, hit it, hit it
 Quit it
 Well, it looks like you
 Got a bad night tonight
 But you gonna be mellow
 I know you're all right
 Have another, nah, be cool
 All right, you ready
 Now hit it, come on
 Quit it
 Bud got tired and quit on us
 All right, you still got the groove
 You still got the groove
 Bring it up, bring it up, come on
 Bring it up, bring it up now
 Bring it up
 Antoinette
 Can you cut the thing down?
 Fade me on outta here
 'Cause I got to leave anyway
 Fade it on out, I'm gone
