Get While the Gettin' is Good

가사

[Intro] Hey now, hey now! Step right in, don’t be late! [Verse 1] Miss Lottie’s got the window up, Red beans simmering on the stove, The corner man is tapping time, And every shoe’s got somewhere to go. You got a nickel, bring it on, You got a grin, then that’ll do, The day is passing down the block— Come on, I saved a place for you! [Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good, Come on and catch that ride, Get while the gettin’ is good, There’s room for you inside! Take one step, then take two more, Let that good luck knock on wood— Get while the gettin’ is good, Get while the gettin’ is good! [Verse 2] The streetcar rattles past the square, A paper fan cuts through the heat, Somebody’s auntie calls your name, And now the whole block’s on its feet. No need to wait for perfect skies, No need to plan the whole parade, The best time’s leaning on the gate— So don’t let this fine chance fade! [Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good, Come on and catch that ride, Get while the gettin’ is good, There’s room for you inside! Take one step, then take two more, Let that good luck knock on wood— Get while the gettin’ is good, Get while the gettin’ is good! [Bridge] Shoo-ba-doo, now what you say? Bap-ba-dap, don’t walk away! Doo-wah, doo-wah, right on time, Come on, friend, and get in line! [Final Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good, Come on and catch that ride, Get while the gettin’ is good, There’s room for you inside! Take one step, then take two more, Let that good luck knock on wood— Get while the gettin’ is good, Get while the gettin’ is good! [Outro] Hey now, hey now! Get while the gettin’ is good!
