Pick it up and kick it

If the man sitting next to you offers you a light
You'd better be oh so careful of the people you meet
Yes the world is turning and the beat goes on
You know a subway train is no place to get down
Pick it up and kick it
Twelve o'clock midnight and you're dancing
In an uptown bar
You do the continental
With a neighbourhood star
The girls are all green with envy
And baby you're so frail
The dice have been thrown away
And you're setting sail
Pick it up and kick it

Are you tired of the young and rich
Three years on
You can't say what you really feel
'Cause you're too far gone
All your dreams are faded
Still the beat goes on
Let me help pretty lady
Let you live again
Pick it up and kick it
