[Verse 1] I packed my bags at half-past two, The clock struck three, I bid adieu, With a hop, a skip, a sassy twirl, Goodbye to this humdrum world. The brass band’s calling, can’t say no, Oh darling, I just gotta go. [Chorus] Gotta go, gotta run, Chasing down a rising sun. Tap my shoes, let the rhythm flow, Oh baby, I just gotta go! [Verse 2] Accordion sighs a gypsy tune, The moon’s a sly, mischievous loon. The piano grins with ragtime flair, And laughter lingers in the air. Life’s a dance, don’t move too slow, Snap your fingers, I gotta go! [Prechorus] Tick-tock, tick-tock, hear that beat, It’s time to shuffle my restless feet. [Chorus] Gotta go, gotta fly, Kiss this dull town goodbye. Feel the swing, let the trumpets blow, Oh honey, I just gotta go! [Bridge] The world’s a stage, and I’m the star, With a gypsy heart and a swing guitar. Every note’s a ticket, every chord’s a chance, Let’s whirl away in a jazzy dance.
