Get On With It Lyrics


It seems like two months
'Though I met her tonight
Something just told me
It would work out alrightSo I asked her to act out
What was there in our heads
No need for games, babe
Let's hop into bed, that's when I said"Oh, get on with it
Let's get it done
Life is made up of moments
Let's not miss this one""Oh, get on with it
Before it's too late
We know where we're going
There's no, no, no, no need to wait"But that's when she says
"Let's take it slowly
You don't really know me
If we make it holy"Maybe it will last
What is your hurry?
You don't need to worry

The one thing we know
Is that time, time, time goes too fast"Soon, it's working so well
I got her moving in
All the permanent thoughts
Already begin
You see she is the womanThat I want for my wife
I say, "Let's set a date, babe
And get on with our life"
And that's when I said again"Oh, get on with it
Let's get it done
Life is made up of moments
Let's not miss this one""Oh, get on with it
Before it's too late
We know where we're going
There's no, no, no, no need to wait"But once again she says
"Let's take it slowly
Still you don't know me
If we make it holy
Maybe it will lastWhat is your hurry?
You don't need to worry
The one thing we know
Is that time, time, time goes too fast"I don't know what happened
As we moved along
But all of a sudden
It came out all wrongShe said, "It's all over
Let's not drag out the end
If we split up now
Then at least we'll stay friends"
And that's when she said"Get on with it
You know it's all done
We had our moments
Don't dwell on this one""Oh, get on with it
You know it's too late
Oh, yes, it's all over
There's no, no, no, no need to wait"But that's when I say
"Let's take it slowly
You know how you know me
And once it was holy""Don't give up so fast
What is your hurry?
You don't need to worry
The one thing we know
Is that time, time, time goes too fast"

Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

In the mid 1970s, Chapin focused on social activism, including raising money to combat hunger in the United States and co-founding the organization World Hunger Year, before returning to music with On the Road to Kingdom Come. He also released a book of poetry, Looking...Seeing, in 1977.

His fellow Long Islanders loved him for his support of local artists, as well. He and his wife Sandy raised funds for the Performing Arts Foundation, a now-defunct local theatre group. They also supported the Long Island Ballet. The band shell at Huntington's Hecksher Park is named for Harry Chapin.

Chapin died on July 16, 1981 in an automobile accident on the Long Island Expressway at the age of 38. He was headed west from Huntington Bay, where he lived with his wife and three children, to perform a concert in Eisenhower Park in Nassau County when his car was struck by a truck. An autopsy showed that he had suffered a heart attack, but it could not be determined whether that occurred before or after the collision. Supermarkets General, the owner of the truck, paid $12 million in the ensuing litigation.
