The Clash — Do It Now

[Chorus] Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up! While they lock 'em out! You gotta come, the word is out! [Verse 1] Imagine landing from Jamaica In 1953 With your records in your suitcase At Minus 15 degrees [Pre-Chorus] 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! [Chorus] Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up! While they lock 'em out! You gotta come, the word is out! [Verse 2] 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! [Pre-Chorus] 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! [Chorus] Rip the carpet up! Turn the music up! While they lock 'em out! You gotta come, the word is out! [Bridge] Yeah, this have you seen his rubber And you must have membership No, those underpants are leather And they got too many zips [Pre-Chorus] 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! [Chorus] 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!
