Gotta take a double shot
Gotta take a chance
Gotta get your lamp to light

Gotta stand tall
Gotta walk the line
Gotta give 'til you get it right

Get up and testify (get up and testify)
Straighten up and fly (straighten up and fly)
Don't need a reason why (don't need a reason why)
Get up and testify (get up and testify)

Shoo-doo-be-doo
Shoo-doo-be-doo
Sing it all night long
Shoo-doo-be-doo
Shoo-doo-be-doo
And let your mind roll on, yeah, yeah

Gotta take a-what you need
Use up what you got
Use it up and throw it away

Gotta stand tall
Gotta walk the line
You gotta give 'til you get it right

Get up and testify (get up and testify)
Straighten up and fly (straighten up and fly)
Don't need a reason why (don't need a reason why)
Get up and testify (get up and testify)

Shoo-doo-be-doo
Shoo-doo-be-doo
Sing it all night long
Shoo-doo-be-doo
Shoo-doo-be-doo
And let your mind roll on, yeah, yeah

Get up and testify (get up and testify)
Straighten up and fly (straighten up and fly)
Don't need a reason why (don't need a reason why)
Get up and testify (get up and testify)

Shoo-doo-be-doo
Shoo-doo-be-doo
Sing it all night long
Shoo-doo-be-doo
Shoo-doo-be-doo
And let your mind roll on, yeah, yeah
