And get your hips to move!
'Cause Uncle Jam wants you to join his army!
Come on, y'all
I know it's early, but you gotta get down.
Go on and rock, Sue, rock!
I'm a soldier, in the army, of Uncle Jam
Come on and work out in that foxhole.
Ain't no need to get dirty, but you can get down
This is the army with the mission to rescue dance music from the blahs
We're not gonna do it by fighting--Get up! Get down!

You said you'd be ready, if he called on you
Now he's a righteous kind of leader
Just demanding funk and groove from you

And I look up, and I don't see nobody trying to help me out
Ohh, I feel good tonight
Now that was allright,
But some of you all ain't doin' what you're supposed to do
I just see a few hands clapping out there

Disturbing the peace at the bridge of the river quiet.
Marching in the name of the groove.
No AWOP-absent without the P.

This is booty do your duty time.
We're soldiers on booty patrol.
And I'm your thrill sergeant
And he's your thrill sergeant.
Gonna keep you on your toes, cause Uncle Jam wants you
To do what you're supposed to do, and join his army!
All right you mugs, one more time!
I see you there marching in a foxhole
But there's one thing I want to say to you
Gotta reel it up and turn it round and round
So you wanna dance, eh?
Let me hear you say it loud and proud!
Feeling good? Let me knock on wood
Disturb the peace at the bridge of the river quiet
Loud and proud!
On to the left right, on to the one
On to the left right, on to the left
All right you mugs, so you wanna dance, eh
It's on the one!
All right you mugs, pick 'em up
It's on the one!
March to the left

Holly wants to go to California
Holly would if only Holly could
Holly she belongs in California
Holly would if only Holly could
Holly's got a heavenly body
Which all stars need to shine
Holly, she's a star
Holly's got a beautiful mind
Holly wants to go to California
Holly would if only Holly could
Holly she belongs in California
Holly would if only Holly could
Holly's got a heavenly body
Which all stars need to shine

Holly's got a beautiful mind
If Holly want to go to California
Holly would, if only Holly could
And she'd shine,
Like the Hollywood sign
On Sunset and Vine
In nighttime, in the nighttime
Holly wants to go to California,
Holly would, and if Holly ever should
Holly's got a heavenly body
Which all stars they need to shine
Holly, she's a star
Holly, she's got a beautiful mind
Let Holly go
To California
Cause Holly would if only Holly
Holly wants to go to California
Holly would, if only Holly could
And she'd shine,
Like the Hollywood sign
On Sunset and Vine
In nighttime, in the nighttime
Holly wants to go to California
Yeah,
