[Intro]
Keep keepin'! (Keep keepin'!)
Got to keep keepin' (Got to keep keepin')
Keep keepin'! (Keep keepin'!)
Got to keep keepin' (Got to keep keepin')
Hit me, good God!
Uh, uh, so nice, hit me, yeeeaow! Uh!

[Verse 1]
Got to keep on doin'
Got to make it all right
Got to stay in the groove
Until you're out of sight
Got to keep on keepin'
When you're all alone
Satisfaction guaranteed
On your own - sing!

[Pre-Chorus]
Got to move and get busy
Keep your eye on the grease
Let's love one another
Got to keep the peace

[Chorus]
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)
Do what you wanna do
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')
Boy, I'm tellin' you
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)
'Til you reach the top
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')
Don't you ever stop - hit me!

[Verse 2]
Got to have some gravy (gravy)
Got to move on ahead
Get your education
Got to bake your bread (full wheat)
Keep up your chin
Got to have a jaw (jaw)
Keep your mash potato chips
Gimme more - sing!

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't leave your mouth hanging
Got to get in the groove
Get that dribble off your lip, good God!
Soul food

[Chorus]
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)
Do what you wanna do
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')
Boy, I'm tellin' you
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)
'Til you reach the top
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')
Don't you ever stop - good God!

[Interlude]
- Maceo?
- Uh-huh?
- Ha-ha-ha-ha, Maceo?
- Yeah, man?
- You ready to blow?
- You better know it! Like this!

[Maceo's sax solo]
With your bad self!
(Go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo
Go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo)

[Verse 3]
Got to get a little further (further)
Got to do your trick
C'mon people, get movin' (move)
Let your back bone slip - sing!

[Pre-Chorus]
Got to move and get busy (busy!)
Got to be Number 1 (uh!)
Hit the beat, F.F. - it ain't over till it's done

[Chorus]
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)
Do what you wanna do
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')
Boy, I'm tellin' you
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)
'Til you reach the top
You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')
Don't you ever stop - yeeeaow! [scatting]

[Ad-lib]
Does me right! (Does you right!)
Does me right! (Does you right!)
Does me right! (Does you right!)
Ain't that right? (Yeah!)
Ain't that right? (Yeah!)
Ain't that right? (Do it!)

Sealine [?]
Ain't it funky now?

[Outro]
- Yo, Mr. Brown! Where you going?
- Hey, I just got to go!
- What do you mean you go? You're going too soon! Where you going?
- I just got to keep keepin'!
- Alright man, well if he's going, I'm going too
Come on, let's break, let's leave. Come on, y'all
- Yo man, what about Maceo? (Let's just go!)
Maceo, put down... put down that horn, and come on, come on Maceo!
Yo, check it out y'all, I got a good idea. Let's turn off the music, if we turn off the music, then he'll get up and come along with us. So let's turn it off (alright then!)

[Maceo continues playing]

- The guy's still playing! Brother can't hear...
Yo, I know what, man. Let's leave, and let's close the door
Let's lock him inside, then he'll leave
- You better do it!
- Come on, let's go. Close the door

[door shutting, Maceo's sax becomes muffled]

- Brother's still playing!
- Struttin' that horn...
- Yo man, I don't care. Let's go, let's get outta here
Let's leave, let's leave. (won't be nut...)
Yo Gerry, turn off the light

[Full Force imitates the "click" sound]

- Yo, ey man, who turned off the light?
Naw, no no, don't do that!
Hey man, how do you expect me to see...
No, don't turn the- nuh-uh!
Hey fellas, come on back, man!
Don't leave me here all by myself!
Oh man - oh... man, put the lights back!
I can't... well, I'll play anyway
