Get Down

Words & Music:

Gilbert O'Sullivan

 

INTRO:  D to A [vamp]

 

D                                         Bm

Told you once before and I won't tell you no more:

D         G         A

Get down, get down, get down.

A7                G           A               D       A7

You're a bad dog, baby, but I still want you 'round.

 

You give me the creeps when you jump on your feet,

So, get down, get down, get down.

A7                 G                      A      D

Keep your hands to yourself, I'm strictly out of bounds.

 

BRIDGE:

F#m                 Bm

Once upon a time, I drank a little wine,

       F#m            Bm  F#m            Bm

Was as happy as could be, happy as could be.

Em                            Bm

Now, I'm just like a cat on a hot tin roof.

G                              A        A7

Baby, what do you think you're doin' to me?

 

Told you once before and I won't tell you no more:

Get down, get down, get down.

A7                G     A                     D     G  A

 

You're a bad dog, baby, but I still want you 'round, around,

D                         A

I still want you around.  Aye-aye-aye!

 

I don't give a damn and I'd like you if you can

To get down, get down, get down.

A7                G           A               D       A7

You're a bad dog, baby, but I still want you 'round.
