UP AND READY TO GO

Hey wait a minute Sister.
Who you tryin' to fool?
You know you're headin' nowhere at all girl.
Why don't you just stay here at home?

You're thinkin' 'bout standin' out on that pavement.
With your thumb stickin' out.
Tryin' to flag down a car to anywhere.
Anywhere that's not here.

But if you want to travel.
Don't move fast, don't move slow.
I'll be UP AND READY TO GO.

Go up to that bum there.
Borrow a dollar from him.
The bus leaves in fifteen minutes, baby.
You better hurry or you won't catch it.

What's that you're trying to sell girl?
You say you got to find yourself.
Well I know where you should be found, honey.
That's right here next to me

But if you want to travel.
Don't move fast, don't move slow.
I'll be UP AND READY TO GO.

You say it's a big wide country.
And there's lots of it you want to see.
Well, you don't have to see it all alone, baby.
Why don't you see it with me?

And that Circus Ringmaster he's smiling.
As they pack up their tents to leave.
Why don't we get in line behind them?
And join their caravan.

'Cause if you want to travel.
Don't move fast, don't move slow.
I'll be UP AND READY TO GO.
