Find Something Else To Do

Get up, get up, get up

I gotta get up
And find myself something else to do
I've gotta get on up
Gotta find myself something else to do
'Cause the way these things are going
Honey, that will never do
Hey Lord, say something

I work two jobs, seven days a week
It seems somehow I still can't make things meet
I've got to get on up
Find me something else to do
You know with things happening
That will never do

Taxes high, wages low
Let me tell you people
I can't stand that no more
I've got to get on up
Find me something else to do
The way things are going
Honey, that will never do

I like jazz and I love rock and roll
But I sing the blues just to soothe my soul
I've gotta get on up
Gotta find myself something else to do
'Cause the way these things are going
Honey, that will never do

Baby needs shoes
Mama later needs clothes
I'm not the kind of man
That would sleep outdoors
I've got to get on up
Find me something else to do
'Cause the way things are going
Baby, that will never do

Lord, I've gotta get on up now, baby
Gotta find myself something else to do
Can you hear me talking to you, woman?
I just gotta make a change somewhere
Lord, I've gotta get on up
Just gotta find myself something else to do
Now what you say?
I think I'm gonna follow you
'Cause I'm gonna get on up
Find me something else to do
Get on up
Find me something else to do
