Lyrics

Shock! [Verse 1] What if the world were split in two Cut between the reds and the white and blue And Americans were thus denied All rights to travel to the other side Tell me what would you be missin' most of all The Roman Colosseum or the Berlin Wall? Some little village or some café? Westminster Abbey or Champs-Élysées? [Chorus] It be the giddy-up It be the live-it-up It be the pick-me-up Of dancin' at the Bains Douches I couldn't give it up I'd wanna get it up I'd wanna live it up And go dancin' at the Bains Douches [Verse 2] What if the world would subdivide Right when you were groovin' on the other side And Americans were all forewarned "Less than a week and you must all be gone" Tell me what it is you'd wanna see the most Piccadilly Circus or The Holy Ghost? Ol' Mount Olympus or King Tut's Tomb? The Taj Mahal or the Gröna Lund? [Chorus] It be the giddy-up It be the live-it-up It be the pick-me-up Of dancin' at the Bains Douches I'd wanna get it up I couldn't give it up I'd wanna live it up And go dancin' at the Bains Douches [Bridge] I bet you my life There'd be no violence there There'd be loads of nationalities Lots of atmosphere Get up! Get up! [Verse 3] What if the world would come undone Block out the glory of a foreign sun All Americans put in a squeeze Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea Tell me where you wanna be at curtain time Somewhere in the Alps or along the Rhine? Hangin' in the halls of the Parthenon? Or bangin' and a ballin' in the the Reeperbahn? [Chorus] I'd wanna get-it-up I'd wanna live-it-up I'd wanna spiffy up And go dancin' at the Bains Douches I couldn't give it up It's such a giddy-up Such a pick-me-up Dancin' at the Bains-Douches [Bridge] I bet you my life There'd be no violence there There'd be loads of nationalities Lots of atmosphere Get up! [Chorus] I wanna live it up I wanna do it up Dancin' at the Bains Douches I couldn't give it up It's such a pick-me-up I wanna giddy-up And go dancin' at the Bains Douches I wanna get it up I wanna live it up I couldn't give it up Dancin' at the Bains Douches [Chorus] I couldn't give it up I'd wanna get it up I'd wanna live it up And go dancin' at the Bains Douches I'd want the giddy-up I'd want the live-it-up I'd want the pick-me-up Of dancin' at the Bains Douches
