We took our -- we took our -- sweet old time,
Makin' plans -- makin' plans -- for our, our escape.
When I f-f-f-f-finally get it together,
I could never, ever, ever -- ever -- figure it out.
(Bridge X 2)
Help me, help me, figure it out.
Help me -- find what it's about.
Get up -- get, get, get on your feet.
Step up -- step, step, step to the beat.
(Chorus)
Hey! Don't pass it up, pass it up, pass it.
Hey! 'Cause opportunity's knock-knocking at your --
Hey! Don't pass it up, pass it up, pass it--
Hey! 'Cause opportunity's knock-knocking at your door.
Wake up and --wake up and -- do something.
Smell the sweet, sweet scent of --
(You know what to do, you know what to do.)
I want it so bad, and I know the others can
get it together, get it together.
(Bridge x 2)

Hey! Don't pass it up, pass it up, pass it.
Hey! 'Cause opportunity's knock-knocking at your --
Hey! Don't pass it up, pass it up, pass it--
Hey! 'Cause opportunity's knock-knocking at your --
(Guitar interlude)
Hey! Don't pass it up, pass it up, pass it.

Makin' plans -- makin' plans -- for our, our escape.
