[Intro]
It's kickin' in, yeah!

It's kickin' in, yeah!

[Verse 1]
Shocked awake in the middle of the day
In a fight over shadows of the night
And you wonder why the talk is so bold
When it's boring and the story's so old
Oh, ho

[Verse 2]
Panic call to her best friend on the phone
Won't sit down but she just can't sit alone
Hard to justify a party band
To somebody with no party plans
Oh, ho

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop to appreciate it
Let's hear the boyfriends say it
[Chorus]
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[Verse 3]
Going good up until we shut 'em down
Bum a ride to the other side of town
In a restaurant with so much class
If we'd stop laughing, we could almost pass
Ah, ho

[Bridge]
The disaffected waitress
In some fake foreign accent:
Joo si de lo ti fah no
Foo hahs po foo luh se
(I can't understand your accent)

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop to appreciate it
Let's hear the boyfriends say it
[Outro]
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
