[Chorus: Paul McCartney] You've gotta get it, mm-mm You've gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again You've gotta get it, mm-mm You've gotta get it and you've gotta get it good [Verse 1: Carl Perkins & Paul McCartney] Once I had a little Spanish guitar The neighbors told me I could go pretty far Well, I came and I went And my guitar got bent But I discovered that the people who love Are what we need if we're to get up above it all And that's that Unless the world is flat [Chorus: Carl Perkins & Paul McCartney] I wanna get it, mm-mm I wanna get it, just in case it doesn't come around again I wanna get it, mm-mm I wanna get it and I wanna get it good [Verse 2: Carl Perkins & Paul McCartney] Pardon me if I've been misunderstood I wanna get it while the going is good The telephone rang About a song I sang The life of Cadillac and ultra for sure Is automatic for a lady demure She came and she went Without a single dent [Chorus: Carl Perkins & Paul McCartney] You've gotta get it, mm-mm You've gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again You've gotta get it, mm-mm You've gotta get it and you've gotta get it good [Post-Chorus: Carl Perkins] I hear you Go, kid [Chorus: Carl Perkins & Paul McCartney] Come on, let's get it, mm-mm You've gotta get it, don't forget it doesn't come around again You've gotta get it, mm-mm You've gotta get it and you've gotta get it good
