Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nickel is a nickel, dime is a dime
Get you a girl, you can have a good time
[Verse 2]
You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well, you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
[Verse 3]
Two old maids, sittin' in the sand
Each one wishin' that the other was a man
[Verse 4]
You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well, you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
[Verse 5]
Shootin' dice, got your money on the floor
Up comes the law, knocks on the door
[Verse 6]
You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well, you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
[Verse 7]
She may be old, and ninety years
But she ain't too old for to shift her gears
[Verse 8]
You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well, you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
[Verse 9]
I jumped in the river and started to drown
Thought about my woman and I turned around
[Verse 10]
You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well, you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
[Verse 11]
I knocked on the door about half past ten
She said, "Listen here, baby, you can't come in"
[Verse 12]
You gotta step it up and go
You gotta step it up and go
Well, you can't stand back
You gotta step it up and go
[Verse 13]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
