Lyrics
Everybody Says
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody says, "Sit down, sit down!"
Everybody says, "Sit down, sit down!"
But I can't sit down and I can't sit down,
'Cause my feet are all full of dance around.
Chorus:
Bump deedle ump bump, bump a dee,
Ev'rybody bump a deedle dance with me.
Everybody says, "Be good, be good."
Everybody says, "Be good, be good."
If they understood I'm as good as good,
'Cause dancing around is what I should.
(Chorus)
Everybody says, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Everybody says, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Well, there's nothing wrong when I sing my song,
But you'd better look out if I'm quiet long.
(Chorus)
