"Get Serious" Lyrics

Everybody get dressed up, dressed up
'Cause it's time to get serious, serious
Tighten up, button up, everybody
'Cause it's time to get serious, serious

Don't dance, don't think
Don't smile, don't wink
Don't tweet, don't wiggle in your seat
Yeah, don't skip, don't jump, don't giggle
Don't do anything 'cause the fun has to stop

Fun is fun
But fun can be overrated
What we want
Is for you to be understated

I knew a girl named Nina
Who would laugh all the time
So we dressed her up
Just enough to make her less inclined
To silliness, craziness
Wackiness, delirious
Instead she's got to clear her head
And finally get serious

Get in gear and hear us now
Pick it up what I'm puttin' down
No giggle, little chuckle, chortle
Need some middle ground
The harp, its strings, they need to sing
But I kept it playing more
We're dressing you so serious
So welcome to the tour

You say it's easy but it's tough, tough
It should be simple but it's rough, rough
I shouldn't giggle but I can't stop
Get serious

Don't dance, don't peep
Don't smile, don't wink
Don't tweet, don't wiggle in your seat
Yeah, don't skip, don't jump, don't giggle, don't
Don't do anything 'cause the fun has to stop

Fun is fun
But fun can be overrated
What we want
Is for you to be understated

Don't dance, don't wink, don't smile
Get serious
I shouldn't giggle but I can't stop
Get serious
