90s Dance Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pump up the jam, pump it up
While you feet are stompin'
And the jam is pumpin'
Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party going on the dance floor
Seek us that's where the party's at
And you'll find out if you're too bad

I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day

Make my day
Make my day
Make my day
Make my day

Pump up the jam, pump it up
While you feet are stompin'
And the jam is pumpin'
Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party going on the dance floor
Seek us that's where the party's at
And you'll find out if you're too bad

I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day

Make my day
Make my, make my, make
Make my day
Make my day
Make my day
Make my, make my, make
Make my day

Pump up the jam, pump it up
A pump it up yo pump it
Pump up the jam, pump it up
A pump it up yo pump it
Pump up the jam, pump it
Pump it up, yo, pump it
Pump up the jam, pump it
Pump it, pump it, pump it

Pump up the jam
Pump up the jam
Pump up the jam
pump it up, pump it, pump it, pump it
Pump up the jam
Pump up the jam
Pump up the jam
pump it, pump it, pump it, pump it

Pump up the jam, pump it up
While you feet are stompin'
And the jam is pumpin'
Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party going on the dance floor
Seek us that's where the party's at
And you'll find out if you're too bad

I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day

I don't want a place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want a place to stay




Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
