What’cha Gonna Do

Ahmet Ertegün

Now whatcha gonna do about a half past eight?
Whatcha gonna do about a half past eight?
It would knock me out, yes if we had a date

You know you're so pretty, lordy looka there
You're so pretty, lordy looka there
Just strutting down the street, long black wavy hair

Now whatcha gonna say if I hold your hand?
Whatcha gonna say if hold your hand?
Will you look me in my eyes and say I'm your lover man?

You're gonna reel, you're gonna roll
We're gonna dance drink have a ball
Whatcha gonna do about nine o'clock?
Have you heard the news? Yeah, we’re gonna rock

We gonna rock (yes we gonna rock)
We gonna rock (yes we gonna rock)
We gonna rock (yes we gonna rock)
Wе gonna rock (yes we gonna rock)
Yes wе gonna rock
We gonna rock now, can't get a shock

Yeah whatcha gonna do when the church on fire?
Whatcha gonna do when the joints on fire?
We gonna try on a hard, climb on a little bit higher

Just a little bit higher (just a little bit higher)
Just a wee bit higher (just a little bit higher)
Just a wee bit higher (just a little bit higher)
A little bit higher (just a little bit higher)
We gonna keep on climbing till be begin to fly

Now, whatcha gonna do when the clock strikes four?
Whatcha gonna do when the clock strikes four?
You gonna holler, “please, let's hucklebuck some more”
