Get While the Gettin' is Good

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You got a little luck tucked in your coat A pocket full of plans and a half-sung note That corner table’s open, come on through The night’s got room for me and you [Pre-Chorus] Don’t save your smile for some other day The good thing’s here—don’t let it get away [Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good Come on, take your turn like you should Raise that glass, let the whole room know When the good times call, you don’t move slow Get while the gettin’ is good Make a little joy like you knew you could Hey now, hey now, the moment’s understood: Get while the gettin’ is good! [Verse 2] Miss Marie’s laughing by the old front door Ray’s tapping time on the hardwood floor The band leans in and the room leans back We found our feet in a second-line track [Pre-Chorus] Don’t save your smile for some other day The good thing’s here—don’t let it get away [Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good Come on, take your turn like you should Raise that glass, let the whole room know When the good times call, you don’t move slow Get while the gettin’ is good Make a little joy like you knew you could Hey now, hey now, the moment’s understood: Get while the gettin’ is good! [Scat Break] Ba-doo-ba, ba-dat-da-day Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, let it swing this way Do-wah, do-wah, take it around Bop-biddy-bop, bring it back down! [Bridge] Tomorrow can wait outside awhile Tonight belongs to every open smile If you’ve got a good thing, let it be known Share that sweetness before you head home [Final Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good Come on, take your turn like you should Raise that glass, let the whole room know When the good times call, you don’t move slow Get while the gettin’ is good Make a little joy like you knew you could Hey now, hey now, the moment’s understood: Get while the gettin’ is good! [Outro] Hey now, hey now, the moment’s understood Get while the gettin’ is good!
