Get It On (Bang a Gong) Lyrics

[Intro: Robert Palmer]
Get on

[Interlude]

[Verse 1: Robert Palmer]
Well you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Dah!

[Verse 2: Robert Palmer]
Well you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
Well you're an untamed youth
That's the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl
[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

[Bridge: Robert Palmer]
Ooooh, yeah

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

[Verse 3: Robert Palmer]
Well you're windy and wild
You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
Well you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap diamond star halo
You're dirty, sweet and you're my girl

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on

Get it on
Bang a gong

[Guitar Solo: Robert Palmer]

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

Ooooh

[Chorus: Robert Palmer & chorus]
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (Bang a gong)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on

Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
