"Oh on you can't get up, if you can't get down" -- What Oldies Song???

Question

I've been trying to figure this one out for a LOOOOOONG time now! There's an oldies song that I THINK the lyrics have somewhere in them something like this:

"Oh no you can't get up, if you can't get down, A-BIP-BOP-BIP-BOP-GET AROUND"

Or something like that... It kinda sounds like "Devil With a Blue Dress On" in style. My parents and I can only remember that very line, and that line is probably wrong, but we KNOW it is a real song and we can SING that line! I've searched and searched, but can't find it! It's been driving us nuts for months! Please help!

Thanks!

Answer 1

This song was in my head ALL night long & I just called my sister in Ohio & she told me the song is "You Can't Sit Down" & it's sung by the Dovells. How could I forget that group/song? They also had the hit song, "Bristol Stomp" many years ago. Remember that one?

Answer 2

You Can't Sit Down...The Dovells (1963)
