But don't worry, don't panic
Ain't nothin' goin' on but history, yeah

But don't worry, don't panic

But it's alright, don't panic
And the music keeps on playin' on and on
And the music keeps on playin' on and on
And the music keeps on playin' on and on
And the music keeps on playin' on and on
The way you shake, shake, shake, shake
