The Clash - Do It Now lyrics

Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up!
While they lock 'em out!
You gotta come, the word is out!

Imagine landing from Jamaica in 1953
With your records in your suitcase
At Minus 15 degrees

An' everywhere you go
They're staring at your face
You've got no place to go
An' everywhere you go
It's "Try the other place!" The
Word you hear is "No!"
So whatcha gonna do?
You gotta make the scene come true hey!

Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up!
While they lock 'em out!
You gotta come, the word is out!



Hey, do you play for Arsenal?
Or are you in the Top 10?
What! You're the average punter!
Get! And don't come back again!

And everywhere you go
They're staring at your face
And you got no place to go
And everywhere you go
It's "Try the other place!" The
Word you hear is "No!"
So whatcha gonna do?
Gotta make this scene come true hey!

Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up!
While they lock 'em out!
You gotta come, the word is out!

Yeah, this have you seen his rubber
And you must have membership
No, those underpants are leather
And they got too many zips

An' everywhere you go
They're staring at your face
And you got no place to go
An' everywhere you go
It's "Try the other place!" The
Word you hear is "No!"
So whatcha gonna do?
You gotta make the scene come true hey!

Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up!
While they lock 'em out!
You gotta come, the word is out!
Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up!
While they lock 'em out!
You gotta come, the word is out!
