Get up!) Turn the ignition (Get up! Get up!) Fire up the system Play my little part in something big I'll accept with poise, with grace When they draw my name from the lottery And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice" I'm the one who gets away I'm a New Jersey success story And they'll say, "Lord give me the chance to shake that hand!"

They'll say
