LYRICS: THE GIT DOWN
(Blanco Brown)
[Intro]
Right now
I just need you to get real loose
Get comfortable
Grab your loved ones or grab your love, partner
And if you're by yourself, no worries
Just follow after me
[Chorus]
Go'n and do the two-step, then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Go'n throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, put your hips in it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Let's have some fun
[Verse 1]
To the left, to the left now (To the left, to the left)
To the right, to the right (To the right)
Now take your left hand and (Uh)
Put it on your side (Put it on your side)
Go'n roll your shoulders (Roll your shoulders)
Do the slip and slide (Do the slip and slide)
This next part's my favorite part, uh
'Cause it's time to shine
[Chorus]
Go'n and do the two-step, then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Go'n throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, put your hips in it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
It's simple, you can do it
[Verse 2]
Slide to the left (Left), slide to the right (Right)
Now cool down (Hoo), have a good time (Yeah)
Slide to the left (Left), slide to the right (Right)
Do the butterfly (Oh), have a good time
'Round, 'round, 'round and 'round you go
It's time to show out right now and take to the floor
[Chorus]
Go'n and do the two-step, then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Go'n throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, put your hips in it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
[Bridge]
(To the left)
Take it down now, take it, take it down now
Take it down now, take it, take it down now
(To the right)
Bring it up now, bring it, bring it up now
Bring it up now, bring it, bring it up now
(To the front)
Take it down and crisscross
Bring it up, now crisscross
(To the back)
Do whatever you like right here (Get down)
Just have fun
[Chorus]
Go'n and do the two-step, then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Go'n throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, put your hips in it (Woo-hoo-hoo), uh
[Interlude]
That was not so bad, that was, that, that was not so bad, was it?
That was not so bad, that, that, that was not so bad, was it?
That was not so bad, that was, that, that was not so bad, was it?
That was not so bad, that, that, that was not so bad, was it?
[Chorus]
Go'n and do the two-step, then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with 'em
Do the hoedown and get into it (Woo-hoo-hoo)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Go'n throw down, take a sip with it
Now lean back, put your hips in it (Woo-hoo-hoo)

Information about how Blanco Brown came up with this song and dance are included on that genius.com page along with Blanco Brown's comments about the song "Old Town Road" which is often compared to "The Git Up" song.
That page also included Blanco Brown's response to the question: When did Blanco realize this song was catching on?
"The first thing that I seen that made me feel like the record or the dance—I didn’t really know which one—was catching on was after a guy re-posted on his page named DJ Shocker and he hit me in my inbox and said, “Bro this video is going to be at a million views by the end of the day because the numbers are just coming fast.” And I started watching it, so then I hit him up. People were like, oh, we might be onto one, and I seen people re-posting mine, and maybe like a week later it had over 4 or 5 million views on Facebook. Then it slowed down on Instagram. Nick from Fox 46 news, he did the dance. Then it turned up, and it was like perfect timing right before Labor Day weekend. Then people started doing the dance and then I said okay, I guess it’s officially a challenge, and then Delicious did it.
And Andre Drummond reposted on his stories and these like all my peoples, you know what I’m saying? So it was like, wow, it’s really doing something. Then it slowed down again. I was like, “Come on now, Jesus, what we doing? Let’s get that momentum that ain’t going to stop.” Before you know it, I didn’t know it was bubbling on TikTok because a guy named Ajani, that’s his name—I’m shouting out all my people that was part of my story—posted it on his page and he did it several times until it caught on. And by time he did it the last fourth or fifth time, it had done caught on, it had like 9 million plus views throughout the platform, but I couldn’t trace him. So then we got that fixed, and that’s how it all kind of came full circle. Then the YouTube videos came in. I mean it was just God given."
