Lyrics
Hey! Up! Up! Oh yes, another we've got a guest: The Empire State of the E chords, the Giant of the G chords, from Graham Parker and the Rumour, Mr. Marty Belmont! Yeah! I say yeah! This song is called "Pump It Up", as in standing! Up! Up! Up! Up! Up! Ahhhh! I see you, and you, up, up! And you, up! He doesn't think I mean it. He doesn't think that I mean it. Hey, up! Up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up! I've been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks Listening to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that She said that's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Down in the pleasure center, hell-bent or heaven sent Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic You wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her All the things you bought for her, could not get a temperature Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin You put your pa**ion out under the pressure pin Fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission No use wishing now for any other sin Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Hey! Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Don't really need it Don't really need it Don't really need it
