Up jumped Jack on the railroad track
Said "I've got to get out of town"
"It's been really nice knowing you"

"Hope to see you around"

Oh the boy he could boogie

Oh the boy can kick a ball
But the boy he got hung up
Smooching in the stalls


You've got to give a little love
To those who love to live

You've got to take a little hate
From those who have to wait


Up jumped John putting his trousers on
Saying "I've got to get out of here"
"Hear your lover's footsteps"

"They're coming to near for me my dear"

Oh the boy he could boogie

Oh the boy can kick a ball
But the boy he got hung up
Making love against the wall


You've got to give a little love
To those who love to live

You've got to take a little hate
From those who have to wait
