                   A G  A    G       D            A  G A G D
Well, there'll be no   words of fighting, around here
'Cause nothing  don't matter, 'cause it ain’t clear
Well, it could be on a Monday
Or it could be even in a Sunday
So, if you can't stand the distance, you better disappear
      A      G     A
Do I make myself clear?

     G        D    G    D        G  D
I'm ready to rock, I'm going to rip it
 A        E     A    E              A   E
Ready to rock, yeah, I'm going to stick it

Chorus:
 A      G    A      G   A D G A
Give it up, give it out
  A     G   A     G  D
Whip it up, all about
  A      G     A       G   A D
Stick it up, shout it loud
       E
Come on
E           D A G
 Give it up,
E           D A G
 Give it up
E           D A G
 Give it up,
E
 Give it up

Well, there's a big storm a-howlin', around here
And there be no wine, no cinnamon and no beer
I'm gonna aim to fire a rocket
There ain’t no damn way to stop it
I got a sure-fire bullet
To get you outta here
I said, do I make myself clear?

I'm ready to rock, I'm going to rip it
Ready to rock, yeah, I'm going to stick it

Chorus

D               G     D
I'm goin' crazy on a wild man night
               G       D
Take your pick of anything you like
        A D C
Give it up
        A D C
Give it up
D               G    D
Sitting pretty, all ready to bite
                 G       D
She givin' up a bit of cream delight
        E
Give it up
D   A G E
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up

Chorus:
You gotta give it up, give it out
Whip it up, all about
You gotta stick it up, shout it loud
Give it up, all around (give it up)
Give it up, give it up, give it up (givin' it up)
Whippin' it in, whippin' it out (givin' it up)
Stick it up, stick it up, stick it out (givin' it up)
Give it up, all around
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Givin' it up, stickin' it out
Givin' it up, givin' it up
Give it up
Do I make myself clear?
