Moby – Flower Lyrics

Electronic

Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground

Old Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground

Old Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground

Old Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground
Green Sally up and green Sally down
Lift and squat, gotta tear the ground

Old Miss Lucy's dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan

About This Song

"Flower" is a hypnotic electronic track that transforms the traditional folk song "Bring Sally Up" into a driving, repetitive workout anthem with themes of physical endurance and rhythmic perseverance. The minimalist lyrics focus on the simple but demanding movements of lifting and squatting, creating a mantra-like quality that mirrors the repetitive nature of exercise and physical training. Moby's signature ambient electronic production strips the song down to its essential beat and vocal loop, building intensity through layered synthesizers and a relentless pulse that matches the cadence of actual workout movements. The track became particularly popular in fitness culture and CrossFit communities, where its steady rhythm and motivational repetition make it ideal for timing exercises and pushing through physical challenges. Its genius lies in how it transforms a simple children's song into a modern meditation on discipline, effort, and the hypnotic power of repetitive motion.
