Give It Up by John E Funk and the Skunks.
Produced at Green Line Records

lyrics

Why don't you put that stack of money in my hand?
I said Give It Up. Give me all you can.
I'm bound to roam around, playing with my band
I've got to find a place for me and my girlfriend.

I'm off to Detroit, Alabama, and San-Fran
I hear the cops are coming. Catch me if you can.
Maybe Utah, Tallahassee, or Japan,
Anyway we're getting out, getting out anyway we can.

All the things, I'm gonna do.
So why don't you stick around?
Oh, all the sights, for sore eyes to see.
I say we'll see them all.
Come with me, I'm telling you.
You got to give it up.

Now when we get it all we're gonna build our studio.
Invite all our friends and everyone they know.
it won't cost a dime because all you need is a know.
The only thing we ask if you better put on a show.
