Lyrics You Got to Jive to Stay Alive - Spanish Midnight - T. Rex

T. Rex
Zinc Alloy And The Hidden Riders Of Tomorrow
You've Got To Jive To Stay Alive
-- Spanish Midnight
You've got to jive, jive
To stay alive
I'm a silver stud
I hear your sticking up my heart
Everything I do, I do for you
I'm a silver stud
I'm gonna stick it up in my heart
Everything I do, I do for you
You've got to jive, jive
To stay alive
I'm a silver stud
I'm gonna stick it up my heart
Everything I do, I do for you
Spanish midnight,
All I want to do is love you tonight
One more time...
(Note -- back in the mid-70's, "jive" often meant "agree with"
So this song takes on none of the meaning
We probably instantly assume it does in the 1990's)
