Get While the Gettin' Is Good

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] Sun comes up on Rampart Street Coffee steam and a marching beat You got one good day, one open door And a brass band warming up next door [Pre-Chorus] Don't wait for the perfect sign The river keeps its own time [Chorus] Get while the gettin' is good Make your move like you know you should Take that chance, let the good times roll Put a little New Orleans in your soul Get while the gettin' is good Hey, now—ba-da, ba-da—good! [Verse 2] Miss June's got a grin and a second-line fan Mr. Lou's tapping time with a spoon in his hand The whole block knows when the feeling comes through There's room in the parade for a dream like you [Pre-Chorus] Don't wait for the perfect sign The river keeps its own time [Chorus] Get while the gettin' is good Make your move like you know you should Take that chance, let the good times roll Put a little New Orleans in your soul Get while the gettin' is good Hey, now—ba-da, ba-da—good! [Bridge] If the chance comes by in a bright red coat Catch that rhythm, catch that boat Scat now: doo-bap, doo-bap, dee-dah-day Let tomorrow find its own way [Final Chorus] Get while the gettin' is good Make your move like you know you should Take that chance, let the good times roll Put a little New Orleans in your soul Get while the gettin' is good Hey, now—ba-da, ba-da—good! [Outro] Get while the gettin' is good Doo-bap, dee-dah—good!
