"Watch Us Work It"

"Watch Us Work It"



Hey
I thought I heard somebody say
"This dog ain't goin' home
Until he gets his bone"

Hey
They said that way he'd be OK
So when he's home alone
He'd bark "ain't nothin' wrong!"

Now, watch us work it
Work it out
Watch us work it
Work it inside out
Watch us work it (work it)
Work it out
Now, watch us work it (work it)
Work it inside out

Baby, we can work it out
Let's put it back together
Maybe we can work it out
Let's put it back together
Baby, we can work it out
Let's put it back together
Maybe we can work it out
Let's put it back together

Hey
My baby said to me
"I feel so DEVO"
I don't know what to do

Hey
It's OK because she's free
"How low can you go?"
That's really up to you

Now, watch us work it
Work it out
Watch us work it
Work it inside out
Watch us work it
Work it out
Watch us work it
Work it inside out
Now, watch us work it (work it)
Work it out
Now, watch us work it (work it)
Work it inside out
Watch us work it (work it)
Work it out
So, watch us work it (work it)
Work it inside out

Baby, we can work it out
Let's put it back together
Maybe we can work it out
Let's put it back together
Baby, we can work it out
Let's put it back together
Maybe we can work it out
Let's put it back together

"What I Must Do"

"What I Must Do"


I used to plan and plot
And try to live correct
Lately I do a lot
Of things that don't make sense

Now I must
Do what I must

Now why do you
Think that a man
Jumps out of the frying pan
Into the fire
When he can
Find a way not to get burned

I must do what I must do
And I do, though I know better
I must do what I must do
Even though he's gonna get it

Below the sky above
Beyond what's good and true
Something as loud as love
Falls out, I can't refuse

Now I must
Do what I must

Now why do you
Think that a man
Jumps out of the frying pan
Into the fire
When he can
Find a way not to get burned

I must do what I must do
And I do, though I know better
I must do what I must do
Even though he might regret it

I must do what I must do
And I do, though I know better
I must do what I must do
Even though he's gonna get it

"What We Do"

"What We Do"



What we do is what we do
What we do is what we do
What we do is what we do
What we do is what we do

What we do is what we do
It's all the same, there's nothing new
What we do is what we do
It's turnin' 'round on me and you
What we do is what we do
Just different names, it's nothing new
What we do is what we do
'Cause all we do is what we do

Gamin', prayin', believin', maintainin'
Textin', electin', rejectin', infectin'

Eenie, meanie, meanie, meanie, minie, minie mo
The lucky ones are gonna be the first to go
Eenie, meanie, meanie, meanie, minie, minie mo
The lucky ones are gonna be the first to go
Eenie, meanie, meanie, meanie, minie, minie mo
The lucky ones are gonna be the first to go
Eenie, meanie, meanie, meanie, minie, minie mo
The lucky ones are gonna be the first to go

Don't do what I do, just do what I say!
"My door does what I say - I say 'open' and it does!"
"My lights do what I say - I say 'on' and they snap on!"
"My car does what I say - I say 'start' and it jumps out!"
"But my dog doesn't do what I say."
"My girl doesn't do what I say."
"My mind doesn't do what I say."
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

What we do is what we do
It's all the same, there's nothing new
What we do is what we do
It's turnin' 'round on me and you

Strokin', hopin', dreamin', repeatin'

Feedin' and breedin' and pumpin' gas
Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, do it again
Feedin' and breedin' and pumpin' gas
Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, do it again
Feedin' and breedin' and pumpin' gas
Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, do it again
Feedin' and breedin' and pumpin' gas
Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, do it again

What we do is what we do
What we do is what we do
What we do is what we do
What we do is what we do

"When We Do It"

"When We Do It"



When we do it
(the great big it)
I hope it's we and not just me
When we do it
Something happens
And it's bigger than the both of us
And for a second
There's no trouble
And the world outside goes away
The clock on the wall
Between us stops
Then the world outside blows away
You make me lose my body
And nothing could be better
You make me lose my body
It's like we've died and gone to heaven
You make me lose my body
When we do it
(the universal it)
I know it's we and not just me
When we do it

"Whip It"

"Whip It"



Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along (You must whip it)
Before the cream sits out too long (You must whip it)
When something's going wrong (You must whip it)

Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good!

When a good time turns around (You must whip it)
You will never live it down (Unless you whip it)
No one gets away (Until they whip it)

I say whip it
Whip it good!
I say whip it
Whip it good!

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back

When a problem comes along (You must whip it)
Before the cream sits out too long (You must whip it)
When something's going wrong (You must whip it)

Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it

Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good!

"Wiggly World"

"Wiggly World"



They say the fittest shall survive
Yet the unfit may live
Let 'em wear gaudy colors
Or avoid display
Hey it don't matter
It's all the same

So I do this and I do that
So I do this and I do that
So I do this and I do that

It's never straight up and down
It's never straight up and down
It's never straight up and down
It's never straight up and down

Oh you got a nickel
I got a dime
I'd like to get to know you
But I haven't got the time
You gotta walk like a mannequin
Roll like a tire
Act on reaction
Dodge the big spud fryer
So wiggle on the bottom
Wiggle on the top
Wiggle up the middle
And laugh a lot
Cause I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world, a wiggly world
I got to tell you
I've been living in a wiggly world now
Wiggly world, a wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world, a wiggly wor/d
I got to tell you
I've been living in a wiggly world
WiggIy world, a wiggly world

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Yeah I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Oh I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
Wiggly world
Well I've been Iiving
In a wiggly world now
Wiggly world
Well I've been living in a wiggly world
wiggly world
Oh, I've been living in a wiggly
Wiggly world
