Move Around

"Groovey" Joe Poovey

(Les Gilliam, DIXIE 733, 1957)

Well baby, in your window put a light
'Cause that ol' sun is done gone out of sight
And when the sun goes down-down-down
I got to move around, move around, move around

Well, we'll go down to where they all hang out
(Well, we'll go down to where the gang hangs out ***)
Yeah, and we let these loafer shoes just jump about
'Cause when the sun goes down-down-down
I got to move around, move around, move around

Move around, oh yeah
Move around, oh baby
Move around, all around
Move around, now that's right
Yeah, when the sun goes down
I got to move around, move around, move around

I drop a nickle in that ol' machine ***
And we'll dance the bop like all the other teens ***
When the sun goes down-down-down ***
I got to move around, move around, move around ***

Well, the ol' folks think that we are doin' wrong
But when they were young, they had their dancin' song
And when the sun went down-down-down
They had to move around, move around, move around

Well baby, in your window put a light
Because that ol' sun is done gone out of sight
And when the sun goes down-down-down
I got to move around, move around, move around

Move around
Move around, mm, mm
Got to move around when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down-down-down
I got to move around, move around, move around
