Lyrics
Really got it grooving on Animal Farm
Baby got her moving on Animal Farm
Everybody’s groovy on Animal Farm
Girly got to moving on Animal Farm
Animal Farm, Animal Farm, got to be good on Animal Farm
Animal Farm, Animal Farm, really got the groove on Animal Farm
She sits drinking the morning papers and reading the tea
‘I’m forty-three, there’s nothing left for me
I’ll do no harm, can I live on Animal Farm?’
Really got it grooving on Animal Farm
Oh we got to moving on Animal Farm
No one over thirty on Animal Farm
Girly got me grooving on Animal Farm
‘I’m forty-three, there’s nothing left for me’
No one over thirty on Animal Farm
Get it all together on Animal Farm
Yeah, they all a-groovy on Animal Farm
All the folks are groovy on Animal Farm
No one over thirty on Animal Farm
Get it all together on Animal Farm
No one over thirty on Animal Farm
Get it all together on Animal Farm
