Lyrics to Move On Up

Move On Up (Lyrics)

Performed by Bryan Ferry

Hush now child, and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you  by and by
Move on up towards your destination
You may find  from time to time
Complications

Bite your lip  and take a trip
Though there may be  wet road ahead
You cannot slip

Just move on up and peace you will find
Into the steeple of beautiful people
Where there's only one kind

So hush now child and don't you cry
Your folks might understand you by and by
Just move on up and keep on wishing
Remember your dreams are your only schemes
So keep on pushing

Take nothing less - not even second best
And do not obey - you m

Just have your say
You can past the test
Move on up!  Move on up!  Move on up!  Move on up!

Move on up! Move on up! Move on up! Move on up!

Move on up! Move on up! Move on up! Move on up!
