Your little come on

Everybody over there

Everybody right there

Everybody over here

Wait, wait
Do it, raise your hand
Do it with the other
And practice
Say you're doing something
Come on, raise your hand

Expect me to call you tonight
Do it, raise your hand
Expect you to say
There goes my man

Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over here

(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Wait, wait, wait, wait
You better become a
Part of the call
You gotta have patience
Or you won't be called
You gotta have patience or
You don't have the call

Do it right
So you won't have to go
Back and do it at night
Do it one time, make it right
You got the world
You got to fight

Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over here
(Get involved)
(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Wait, wait, wait, wait
Lookie here, wait
Go on, go on, go on
You need a little help
Can't do it alone

Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over there
(Get involved)
Get in, get involved

Play it one more time, Bobby
One more time or two
(Get involved)
(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Wait, everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over here

Wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait

Now listen
I want you to hit me
Batters, don't miss me
Batters, I want you to hit me
Hit me, all right
Hit me, hey, me

Two times
Lookie here, hit me
Hit me, come on
Bring it down

Come on, do it
Do it, do it

Wait, everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over there
(Get involved)
(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Wait, don't, don't
Don't raise your hand
Doing nothing, like me
Say you're doing something

Don't wave your hand
Don't wave your hand
Because you're busy, brother
Better change your twist

Don't wave your hand
Don't wave your hand
Don't wave your hand
If you don't clean it
Don't wave your hand
If you don't need it
Don't wave your hand
Don't wave your hand

Get on up (get on up)
Get into it (get involved)
Get involved (get on up)
Get involved (get into it)

Wait, wait, wait, wait
You and you, baby
Doing your thing
Don't do nobody else's
Jump back, dig yourself

'Cause you're doing your thing
'Cause you're doing your thing

Get on up (get on up)
Get on up (get into it)

Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody over there
(Get into it)
Everybody right there
(Get involved)

(Get involved)
(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Hey, hey
Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over here
(Get involved)

(Get involved)

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Lookie here, you can be
Like a tape deck, you know
They can plug you in
Say what they want you to say

Don't let em do it (no)
Don't let em do it (no)
Don't let em do it (no)
Don't let em do it (no)

Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right here
(Get into it)
Everybody over there
(Get involved)
(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Everybody over there
(Get on up)
Everybody right there
(Get into it)
Everybody over here
(Get involved)
(Get involved)

Get involved, get involved
Get involved, get involved
Get involved, get involved
Get involved, get involved
