[Intro]
Alright gang, let's start from number one
Let's throw down 'til it's done

[Verse 1]
Let's get this thing to working
There's no reason to wait
The time is now to start
We all could use the change
Hey, from right now 'til the dawn
We gon' really carry on
We won't stop
Not until we get it right
Out to be on the one
It's not over 'til it's done
It's going to be so good
When we get it right

[Pre-Chorus]
Got to be willing to try
Even if we get up early
And work overtime
Do it 'til you get it right
It's an incredible high
There's no limit to what's in it
It's yours and mine
So let's do it 'til we get it, get it right

[Chorus]
'Til we get it (Make it shout, toss it, turn you inside out)
Do it 'til we get it (Stay with it and get it right)
Do it 'til we get it (Never stop, we could take it to the top)
Do it 'til we get it (Take the time, get it right)

[Verse 2]
I know just how to do it
To make it really nice
There's no mystery to it
Here's how you get it right
Well, you make it scream, you make it shout
Toss it, turn it inside out
Never quit, stay with it
And get it right
Don't give up, never stop
We can take it to the top
If we just take the time
To get it right

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't give up now
We can make it, we can take it
Right to the top
Hey-ey, and never stop
Honey, let's reach for the sky
If we keep believing
We can never go to high
Yeah, let's give it a try
Come on let's keep reaching up
Believe if it lasts forever
It's never too much
No way to get enough
Do it 'til we get it right
Even if it takes from morning
'Til way into night
We've got do it 'til we get it, get it right

[Chorus]
'Til we get it (Make it shout, toss it, turn you inside out)
Do it 'til we get it (Stay with it and get it right)
Do it 'til we get it (Never stop, we could take it to the top)
Do it 'til we get it (Take the time, get it right)
Do it 'til we get it (Get it), and get it right
Do it 'til we get it (Get it right), and get it right
Do it 'til we get it (Get it), get it, baby
Do it 'til we get it (Get it)
Get (Get it right), and get it right

Aretha Franklin is both a 20th and 21st century musical and cultural icon known simply by her first Aretha. She is the reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” with a legacy that spans five decades. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Aretha began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin’s church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Aretha embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records with modest success.

After moving to Atlantic Records in 1967, she released a steady string of US top ten hits through 1973 including “Spanish Harlem”, “Chain Of Fools”, “Baby I Love You”, “Since You’ve Been Gone”, “Daydreaming”, “The House That Jack Built”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", ”Think“ and her first chart-topper “Respect” – a song that also won Aretha her first of 18 Grammys. During this time, several of her songs were also successful overseas.

By the mid-70s, Aretha’s commercial success waned and she left Atlantic for Clive Davis' Arista Records in 1980. Her 1982 song “Jump to It,” returned her to the top 40 for the first time in six years. 1985’s Who’s Zoomin' Who? got her back into the top 10 twice with its title track and “Freeway Of Love”. Four more songs reached the top 40 through 1986.
