you can't sit still

now you may not feel like dancing

or getting up at all

you may not be in the mood

to heed my beckoned call

when that guitar starts to get you

squirming in your seat

might as well just give it up

and get up on your feet

'cause you can't sit still

when that music starts to play

no

you can't sit still

oh

don't throw the urge away

and you can't sit still

when that music starts to play

now you can't sit still

so don't throw the urge away

just let that rhythm take you up

and out across that floor

grab some and boogie down

'cause you can't sit still no more

can't you feel it

bill?

oh

don't you know you can't sit still?

you were caught all week long now

and you know it's friday night

you're gonna lay down your hard earned money

and you bought yourself a ride

so put your arm around her

and show her once again

what it was about your rock 'n' roll

she was a-grooving on way back when

'cause you can't sit still

when that music starts to play

no

you can't sit still

oh

don't throw the urge away

you can't sit still

when that music starts to play

no

you can't sit still

so don't throw the urge away

just let that rhythm take you up

out across that floor

grab some and boogie down

'cause you can't sit still no more

can't you feel it

bill?

oh

you know you can't sit still

can't you feel it

bill?

oh

you know you can't sit still

oh yeah
