Put your knees up in the sky,
'Cause we just begun, hey!
Hey!
Mission 2,
This is how we do,
Jump a couple to the right,

Throw your own lil swag on this swizzy beat,
Hey! Hey!

Mission 4,
If you're ready for more,
Jump up, jump up,
Lift your feet off the floor,
Hey! Hey!

I ain't worried doing me tonight,
A little sweat ain't never hurt nobody,
Don't just stand there on the wall,
Everybody just move your body,

Move your body,

Time to break it down,
Step and touch to the danceful sounds,

Snap your fingers, snap your feet,

Fellas on the floor,
All my ladies on the floor,
Get me bodied, get ready, to move,

Baby all I want is to let it go,
Ain't no worries, oh,
We can dance all night,
Move your body,
That means come closer to me,
While we dance to the beat,
Move your body,

Now run to the left, to the left, to the left,
Now run to the left, to the left,
Now run to the right, to the right, to the right,
Come back to the right, to the right,

Now run to the left, to the left, to the left,
Now run to the left, to the left,
Now run to the right, to the right, to the right,
Come back to the right, to the right,

Wave the American flag,
Wave the American flag,
Wave the American flag,
Wave the American flag,
Hey!
