(originally by Van Halen)

Because right now, everybody should be happy like a mother
And right now, we just throwin' a party, that's all
And right now, the Waborita's are kickin' ass in Charlotte, North Carolina
And we got Mikey on the bass

Yeah, uh

Don't wanna wait till tomorrow
So why put it off another day?
One by one, little problems
Build up, and stand in our way

One step ahead, one step behind it
Now ya gotta run to get even
Make future plans or dream about yesterday
Come on turn, turn this thing around

(Right now) It's your tomorrow
(Right now) Come on, it's everything
(Right now) Catch your magic moment
Let's do it right here and now
It means everything

Miss a beat, you lose the rhythm
Nothin' falls into place
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace

The more things you get, the more you want
Trading one for the other
Workin' so hard to make it easy
Whoa, got to turn, turn this thing around

(Right now) It's your tomorrow, baby
(Right now) Come on, it's everything
(Right now) Catch your magic moment
Let's do it right here and now
Because tonight means everything

It's alive in me
Right now
What are ya waitin' for?
Oh, turn this thing around now
Vic Johnson, right now

(Right now) Yeah, it's your tomorrow
(Right now) Come on, it's everything
(Right now) Catch your magic moment
Do it right here and now (right now)

Right now is what's happening
Right here and now
Right now, right now baby
What are ya waitin' for
Tomorrow is too far away
Yesterday, yesterday is dead and gone
Got to do it right now
Right now
