Get There

I got lost far from home, I was scared, I was all alone
A great big circus came my way; let me see what the fortune tellers have to say
First one said, "home is near," second one said "you can't get there from here"
Third one said, "you'll find your way is looking for a way to find you! Say…"

CHORUS
Any way you go you're gonna get there!
Any way you go you're gonna get there!
Lean a little bit to where you wanna get
Cause any way you go you're gonna get there!

Went to school, what did they tell me?
"Any way you go you're gonna get there!"
Went to college, what did they yell at me?
Any way you go you're gonna get there!
Went to work, went to sea, went to the A.A.R.P.
Went to the doctor, went to the nurse
What said the lady with the alligator purse….?

CHORUS

What if I choose the wrong career?
"Any way you go you're gonna get there!"
And what if I make my choice in fear?
"Any way you go you're gonna get there!"
East, west, north or south?
"Any way you go you're gonna get there!"
Upside downside inside out
"Any way you go you're gonna get there!"

You can take a car, you can take a hike
You can take a bus, take a boat take a bike
You can take a holiday, take an incomplete
Take it on, take it off, take it to the street

CHORUS

High, low, all you need to know
Near, far, super star
Any way you go you're gonna get there!
Any way you go you're gonna get there
Any way you go you're gonna get there!
