Lyrics of Hum Along and Dance (Gotta Get Down) by Janelle Monáe
verse
There's a fear in the air
And there's blood on the floor
Hear a deafening scream
Crying out for more
The city's on fire
Smoke is burning my eyes
I got one more chance
I need you come along and just hum along
And now dance
hook
(Come, huh)
Get on down, down, down
Gotta get down (come on)
Get on down, down, down
verse
This might be our last night
The wolf's at the door
Her stomach is growlin'
We all know the score
My legs are getting weary
My heart is so low
I got one more chance
I need you to come along and just hum along
And now dance
hook
(Come on y'all!)
Down, down, down
Gotta get down
Come on
hook
Gotta get down (to get up)
Y gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down, down, down
Gotta get down (to get up)
hook
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down, down, down
To get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
'Cause I need you to come along
And just hum along and now dance
verse
You get on up and stay alive
We stay together
Down, down, down
You gotta get down (it's go, go, go)
Gonna make the battle (come on)
You hum along (down, down, down)
hook
You gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down (to get up)
Gotta get down, down, down
hook
You gotta get down (to get up)
You gotta get down (to get up)
You gotta get down (to get up)
You gotta get down, down, down
Now dance
outro
Get on down (get on down, get on down...)
Writer(s): Emile Haynie, Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield, Baz Luhrmann, Janelle Monae Robinson, Jeffrey Nath Bhasker
