My get up and go got up and went
I've been searching high and low, and I haven't found it yet
I'm at your back door, and I'm knocking real loud
Maybe it's there inside; I thought I heard a crowd

You never heard me knocking, so I went around to the front
Thinking to myself that only I would pull this stunt
I opened your screen door and tapped on the glass
Still, no one heard me, and it was starting to burn my ass

My get up and go got up and went
I've been trying to find it, but I haven't found it yet
It's hard to search when you can't get out of your own way
It's hard to move when your get up goes away

It was obvious I wasn't getting inside
Still, I wondered did they have something to hide
Was my get up and go on the other side of that door
I gave up my search; I wasn't interested anymore

My get up and go got up and went
Thank you, Mrs. Ridley, for the post you sent.
