I've Got To Be There 1933 'Pardon My English'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Apr 2005

When I keep seeing things
and going places,
my life has color;
without new songs,
without new friends and faces,
'twould be much duller.
When ever people step up to say:
"Let's step tonight,"
if I've been low I pep up;
again the future's bright!
Whenever there's a party I can go to,
it makes the world seem right!

When music is playing
and couples are swaying, say!
I've got to be there!
I've got to be there!
When joy's in the making
and ceilings are shaking,
and there's never a care,
I've got to be there!
Check my hat,
and throw the stub away!
I'm a lamb who's gone astray!
When bottles are popping
and dignity's dropping
and the women are fair.
I've got to be there!

When music is playing
and couples are swaying, say!
I've got to be there!
I've got to be there!
When joy's in the making
and ceilings are shaking,
and there's never a care,
I've got to be there!
Check my hat,
and throw the stub away!
I'm a lamb who's gone astray!
When bottles are popping
and dignity's dropping
and the women are fair.
I've got to be there!
