[Verse 1]
Hey, what am I doing standing here on the corner of West 8th Street and the 6th Avenue and
Ah, skip it
Nothing. Keith! What you doing? [whistle]
Oh, I think the time has come to get out, get out

[Chorus]
Get up, get out, get into something new
Get up, get out, into something new
Ooh! And it's got me moving (Got me moving honey!)
Ooh! And it's got me moving[x3]

[Bridge]
My my my, my my my, my my my, my my my, my
Poor man eyes a rich man
Denigrates his property
A rich man eyes a poor man
And envies his simplicity

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Yeah, get up, get up, get out
Into something new
Yeah, all, won't you all, won't you all, won't you all
Don't stand accused

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
