Some folks get kicks cutting the rug
Some folks like to spit in the jug
Some folks stay at home sitting in snug
Not me, I got the travelling bug

When you gotta go, you gotta go
Something down below
Comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go

This guy takes his chick to a dance
This might start a future romance
But this romance ain't getting a chance
'Cause suddenly he gets ants in his pants

When you gotta go, you gotta go
Something down below
Comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go

A sailor has to go to sea
A builder has to go to tea
One day you must come to me
And that's just how it oughta be

When you gotta go, you gotta go
Something down below
Comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go-go-go

Been to Spain and Timbuktoo
Been to Maine and Calamazoo
Gonna get 'em when I'm through
Baby you'll be travelling too

When you gotta go, you gotta go
Something down below
Comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go-go and go...
