Move - move - I've got the gift of life

Can't you see it in the twinkle of my eye

I can't stand up and I can't sit down

I gotta keep movin' - I gotta keep movin'

All the time that gets wasted hating

Why don't you move together and make your heart feel better

Groove - groove - to the beat of this drum

Feel it in the wind and the warmth of the Sun

Don't sit down and don't stand up

Keep on movin' - keep on movin'

Think of the future and make it grow

Why don't you move together an' make your heart feel better

Take a pinch of white and pinch of black

Mix it together and make a movin' flavour

Take a pinch of white and pinch of black

Tell you move together an' make your heart feel better

Move - move - we got the gift of life

Go and shout it from your roof mountain top

Give it to me once and give it to me twice

We gotta keep movin' - we gotta keep movin'!
