Lirik Terjemahan
All aboard, stitch in time
Get yours, got mine
In a minute I'll be there
Sit tight, get square
(Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic)
You can do it at the hippodrome
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Slide back, trombone
(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait)
Anybody got a TV at home?
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
That's right, unknown
When I pick up on that smell, pick it up and run like hell
Little woman, save me some, better get up on your run
(Huh)
So much more than—
Charlie's wakin' me
To my core and—
And Charlie's shakin' me
And tell my story
And Charlie's makin' me—
And Charlie's makin' me smile
Oh, whoa, now
(Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic)
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait)
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Everybody do the twist
Get the message on Flea's fists
Move around like a scientist
Lay down, get kissed
(Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic)
Big picture and it never lies
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Big daddy will advice
(Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait)
EverReady in disguise
(One, one, one, one, one, one more)
Sunset, sunrise
When I pick up on that smell, pick it up and run like hell
Little woman, save me some, better get up on your run
So much more than—
Charlie's wakin' me
To my core and—
And Charlie's shakin' me
And tell my story
And Charlie's makin' me—
And Charlie's makin' me smile
Oh, whoa, now
My heart, your skin
This love, I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right, I'm wrong
Be free, be wrong
Intimate sight has come into light
When I pick up on that smell, pick it up and run like hell
Little woman, save me some, better get up on your run
All I ever wanted to was pick it up and run with you
Slip it into a summer spell, double up and run like hell
(Huh)
So much more than—
Charlie's wakin' me
To my core and—
And Charlie's shakin' me
And tell my story
And Charlie's makin' me—
And Charlie's makin' me smile
No, whoa, now
My heart, your skin
This love, I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right, I'm wrong
Be free, be wrong
Intimate sight has come into light
My heart, your skin
This love, I'm in
We don't arrive without a surprise
You're right, I'm wrong
Be free, be wrong
Intimate sight has come into light
