look lively
Snap to it
Look lively is a command to move quickly or become more alert—essentially "hurry up" or "pay attention." It carries a brisk, no-nonsense tone, often from someone in authority: Look lively, people—we've got work to do.
The phrase is more common in British English and sounds slightly old-fashioned or military.
