Lyrics

[Intro]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Verse 1]
Ooh, it might have to be a long time
I don't know when we'll be back here
But I hope that it's a long while
[Verse 2]
They deny it
But I can feel that they don't like us
Maybe we live too wild and free
They're mad 'cause we're living genius
Ah
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Verse 3]
Ooh, it doesn't have to be forever
But the more I dream about it
It's making me feel better
All of them deny it
Gaslighting on the regular
When they said "If you don't like it, leave"
I'm like, "Cool, but I'm taking all my stuff
And my money
I'm gone"
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Bridge]
Sometimes we need to get away from our lives
Who can relate?
Sometimes we need all need a break
From the thunder and the rain
Won't you come with me
Hey!
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
[Chorus]
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
You have got to be ready, ready
Get your things and stand on the jetty jetty
You have got to be ready, ready
Pack your bags, meet me on the jetty jetty
