When you're all wired up 'cos it's Saturday night

And nowhere to go; your little fish don't bite

When all you see when you look around

Is a ship of fools and a dirty old town



(chorus1)

When the ice cream man licks his lips

And says "I want you" with a clockwise twist

You better groove on (groove on)

When your cosmic mind has lost its way

And you can't even rain on your own parade

You better groove on



Everybody



When the High Street pirates pull their guns

And say "What's it gonna be--money or love?"

When you look in the mirror and no one's there

No one to save you and the cupboard is bare



(chorus2)

When Strawberry Fields don't last forever

Kiss the sky and never say never

Better groove on (groove on)

When love kicks in with a vicious grin

All or nothing, sink or swim

You better groove on



Groove on, Groove on



When your dog comes on on the television

And says "You don't know just what you've been missing"

When you take that trip and the sky falls in

And you're upside down, but you're still looking in



(chorus3)

When the sun comes out and your hopes are high

And Lucy's back in the diamond sky

You better groove on (groove on)

Well, if you're feeling fine, well, I don't mind

That's what I came all this way to find



Groove on, Groove on

Groove on, Groove on
