Elton John - Bite Your Lip (Get Up And Dance) Lyrics






She slid down to the city limits
Monkey time in fifteen minutes
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Don't let me down
Please stick around
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Strobe light on the funky feet
Soul children in the disco heat
Top dog, top cat
Move that muscle and shake that fat
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Chicago, L.A.
Every place, every way
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Strobe light on the funky feet
The soul children in the disco heat
Top dog, top cat
Move that muscle and shake that fat
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Illinois, Santa Fe
Do what I say
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance
Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance

Elton John Bite Your Lip (Get Up And Dance) Comments
  1. R.... ....

    Sort of has a Stones vibe from
    Some Girls album.

  2. B.... H....

    Listen to the drummer—Pope—come-in on this song.

  3. P.... C....

    Disagree . . not too long. I guess you weren't in a disco in the 1970's when first hearing this? Along with Boogie Pilgrim, it's one of my fav top ten Elton songs. Been listening and supporting Elton since 1972 ..

  4. a.... p....

    Totally disco

  5. S.... T....

    Killer song. But, like other EJ songs of that era, goes toooo long......

  6. i.... c....

    Dont let me dawn

  7. D.... B....

    this song went to #28 on the pop charts in 1977!!!

    D.... B....

    How the hell could this song only go to #28? Elton's had worse songs that hit #1.


    Was really glad that he performed this song when I saw him at the LA Forum in February.

  8. A.... M....

    TUNE!!!!

  9. J.... A....

    Rog on Drums !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. J.... Z....

    Hey tried real hard to have a disco song, but failed with this trash.

    J.... Z....

    So you think this is EJ trying to do disco? Boy, just go home.

    J.... Z....

    this song really is awful.

    J.... Z....

    @Have a nice Dave ..... troll

    J.... Z....

    @Scott Thrower it's a shitty song.

    J.... Z....

    Have a nice Dave well, you know, that’s just your opinion, man. I fuckin hate the Eagles.

  11. C.... A....

    Underrated energetic dance rock funk fusion with great words, piano and drums. And a song can never have too much drum fills and glissandos.
    Nice job with the pictures as well

    C.... A....

    Thanks! Glad U enjoy 😃

  12. M.... S....

    Incredibly gay and incredibly good!

    M.... S....

    ... EJ was gay, that's why

  13. M.... W....

    WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY to long....

  14. A.... P....

    George Michael always mentioned that record being such a big inluence on him too.

    A.... P....

    That sounds about right.

    A.... P....

    @Matthew Stetson . . along with the song 'tonight' from the same album . . Michael actually performed the song a few times too ..

  15. c.... ....

    Cool song from a great album - "move that muscle and shake that fat...."  I wish that there were more versus before the very long "bite your lip ... " at the end ....

  16. R.... ....

    Very energetic, one of Elton's best.

  17. A.... S....

    Great Lyrics by Bernie here.

  18. D.... G....

    This song is old , the only recording I had until now, was on an audio cassette !!

  19. T.... N....

    EVERYTHING he's done is brilliant, in its own way. Live, he is more awesome than ever....I've now been to see Sir Elton twelve times since 1972, and the last time was probably the best....

  20. G.... A....

    To be played at my funeral. If I don't get up and dance then you'll know I'm gone.

    G.... A....

    Great Glen (:

    G.... A....

    Then we'll play Funeral for A Friend

    G.... A....

    haha I'll opt for ' Someone didn't save my life tonight '

    G.... A....

    When you bite your lip getting up and dancing, you will bite off your lip and tongue and be gone.

  21. J.... M....

    Elton played this song at the end of his concert in New York City's Central Park in 1980.

    J.... M....

    Yup. In a Donald Duck Suit.

  22. B.... C....

    a forgotten song from an overlooked album. elton can practically do no wrong as far as i'm concerned. a really well done dance tune. great production,arranging ,playing. the full choir really makes it. i love nigel olsson but i was really happy when roger pope came back to the drummer's chair. and ray cooper graces everything he's on. so tasteful.

    B.... C....

    +Brian Carter Thank you Brian!!
