"Pick It Up And Kick It" lyrics

If the man sitting next to you offers you a light
You'd better be oh, so careful of the people you meet
Yes the world is turning and the beat goes on
You know a subway train is no place to get down
Pick it up and kick it...

Twelve o'clock midnight and you're dancing in an uptown bar
You do the continental with a neighbourhood star
The girls are all green with envy and baby, you're so frail
The dice have been thrown away and you're setting sail
Pick it up and kick it...

Are you tired of the young and rich three years on
You can't say what you really feel 'cause you're too far gone
All your dreams are faded still the beat goes on
Let me help pretty lady, let you live again
Pick it up and kick it...
