  • Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
    Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now

    Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now
    Say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it, say it now

    Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now

    Instead of carving up the wall
    Why don't you open up me tall
    I am ready, I am ready for a fall

    Instead of carving up the wall
    Why don't you open up me tall
    We are ready, we are ready for the floor

    I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
    I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance
    I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
    (You're sinking below, I'm using my force)
    I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance
    You're my number one guy

    Instead of carving up the wall
    Why don't you open up me tall
    I am ready, I am ready for a fall

    Instead of carving up the wall
    Why don't you open up me tall
    We are ready, we are ready for the floor

    I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
    (You're sinking below, I'm using my force)
    I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance
    You're my number one guy
    Number one guy
    Number, number, number, number, number,
    One, one, one, one, one guy

    (Number one guy) Stand carving up the wall
    (One, one guy) Why don't you open up at all?
    (Number, number, number one)I am ready, I am ready for a fall

    (Number one, number one) Stand carving up the wall
    (Number one, one, one) Why don't you open up at all?
    (Guy, guy) We are ready, we are ready for the floor

    (Number one guy) Stand carving up the wall
    (Number, number, one, one) Why don't you open up at all?
    (Guy) I am ready, I am ready for a fall

    (You're my number one guy, number one) Stand carving up the wall
    (Number, number, one, one) Why don't you open up at all?
    (Number, number, one, one) We are ready for the floor Writer/s: AL DOYLE, ALEXIS BENJAMIN TAYLOR, FELIX MARTIN, JOSEPH GODDARD, OWEN CLARKE

  • Josh from Champaign, IlHa, that's why I love this site. I was just listening to this, actually listening to the lyrics intently and the "You're my number one guy." jumped out at me that it was from Batman (1989)! Actually, Grissom (Jack Palance) said it first to his underling Napier (Jack Nicholson, soon to be Joker) when he was sending Napier to the ill-fated chemical plant job where he was setting Napier up to be executed by his dirty cop, Lieutenant Eckhardt, for sleeping with his mistress. Of course the plot was foiled, Napier then killed Grissom and then Napier was doing an impression of Grissom to his underling, Bob, almost as a mockery of the boss he killed, but signaling that now he was The Man.
