Some folks get kicks cutting a rug
Some folks like to spit in a jug
Some folks stay home in snug, but not me.
Ive got the traveling bug, and

When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Something down below comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go, go, go

This guy takes chick to a dance
This might start a future romance
But this romance aint getting a chance
Cos suddenly he gets ants in his pants, and.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Something down below comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go, go, go

Sailor has to go to sea
A builder has to go to tea
And one day you must come to me
And that's just how it ought to be

When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Something down below comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go, go, go

Been to Spain and Timbuctoo
Been to Maine and Kalamazoo
Going again, and when Im through
Therell be some cute baby traveling, too.

When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Something down below comes right up and tells you so
One thing that I know
When you gotta go, you gotta go, go, go.
