a simple question

Here's the last bus.Let's___

A get it on

B get on it.

Which one is correct?

My choice is A, since it is a pronoun.

My friend said the "on" of "get on " is a preposition, so no matter it's "it" or "the bus", either should be placed after on. I'm a little confused.

Moreover, "let's get it on" can be interpreted as a slightly old-fashioned invitation to hanky-panky.

Very uncomfortable, on a bus.

Yea, make sure you don't make a mistake and say option A around people you might of just met who know English (unless they really do want to have *** with you on a bus)
