I'm Gettin' Ready (Go-Go Version)

(альбом: This One's For Chuck Brown: Doug E. Fresh Salutes The Godfather Of Go-Go - 2021)

Taking off my coat
Clear my throat
Taking off my coat
Clear my throat

As we proceed to give you what you need

Alright ladies and gentlemen
You're right on time
It's about to go down, man
I see you got the invitation
Play

I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
Said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
DC
Let me tell you something, baby

One morning I had a dream
That I can make a young lady scream
By making musical sounds with my mouth
Listen
I tried it at a party and people didn't even know it was me
And when they finally saw me I heard a shout
Like that
To see a crowd just dazed and amazed and then everybody's eyes just gazed
Upon the man we know as Doug E. F-R-E-S-H
And to prove to you and the crew who I am and what I do
Now Is it because I know how to kiss?
And the ladies can't resist
Plus they love it when I go like this
When I go like this
When I go like this
When I go like this
When I go like this
When I go like this

'Cause I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
What's up baby
I'm getting ready
Y'all ready
I'm getting ready
Said I'm getting ready
Looking good baby

Now every, every single
Every rhyme I make is no mistake
And I'm giving you more and you could be sure that you can take
In the projects, buildings, tenement, palaces
You work hard you're bound to get calluses
On your hand and every woman and man
And I'm giving you more than you can stand
I'm ready and willing cold chilling
Getting paid wearing silks and suede
Go to Barbados and cool in the shade
Do my exercise keep nice and trim
Go down to the beach for a real cool swim
And all the ladies say let's talk to him
He's cute, let's talk to him
I got brown eyes, brown complexion
Keep my hair up to perfection
Believe in the saying you are what you eat
Hey that's the main reason why I don't eat meat
But I can say a hot rhyme off a hot beat
And like Adam and Eve we're gonna try to achieve
What most people out here would disbelieve
And the band so hot it make it hard to breathe
Make the best DJ's in the place wanna leave
Wanna leave
Wanna leave
1-2-3

I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
Hey y'all
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
Said I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready

Do me a favor, y'all
Throw one hand in the air
And then you wave it like this right here
If you are down with the Go-Go Swing
Somebody say Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Everybody in the house tell me where y'all from
South Beach
Tell me where y'all from, baby
South Beach
Tell me where you're from, baby
South Beach
Tell me where you from, baby
South Beach
Tell me where you from, baby
South Beach
Tell me where you from, baby
South Beach
Tell me where you from, baby
Tell me where you from, baby

I like the way you comb your hair
And I like those stylish clothes you wear
It's just those little things you do
That shows how much you really care
Like when I'm all alone with you
You know exactly what to do
You make that fire inside of me
Ain't nothing like that Go-Go-Go Swing

We go Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
Somebody go Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
On the side we go Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
We go Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah
Uh-Ah-Uh-Ah-Ah

The name of this song
I'm getting ready
Said I'm getting ready
Said I'm getting ready
Said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
Y'all ready
1-2
Take 'em to DC

Take 'em to DC
I wanna see who's here
If you happy to be alive
Make some noise in here
If you're happy to be alive
If you're happy to be alive
Put your hands up
Let me see ya
If you're happy to be here
Put your hands up
Somebody say Oh La Oh La Oh La
Oh La Oh La Oh La
Say Oh La Oh La Oh La
Oh La Oh La Oh La

I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I said I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
Ready
