Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know the music make you jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make me jump and prance
Dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley diddley

You know the music make you jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make me jump and prance
Dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley diddley

Bring on the rhythm; bring on the drums
The rim shack sound like someone gunned
(Pop! Pop!) There go your ear drums
So raise the volume to the maximum
Base booming bout to make your body feel numb
Penetrate your body penetrate your skeleton
This little diddley definitely demonstrates some
Dumb diddley dumb, so dance to the drum

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound

You know the music make me jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make me jump and prance
Dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley diddley

You know the music make me jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make me jump and prance
Dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley dumb dumb diddley diddley

Apparently yeah we the true MC's
BE Boys no decoys you know the sting
BE Peas till infinity
And we officially also fresh in the scene
So tell me if you see a crew that officially
Hit the whole glow simultaneously
Hit after hit, check out my melody

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound

Sim sim sim, blum blum blum
The Black Eyed Peas begun with action
Repeating rhy-rhythm in satisfaction
No need for asking, that's what's happening
The blip blip blip, the blah blah blau
You didn't know me then and you'll never know me now
I'm the Apl.De.Ap, the Filipino Ap
You don't know my style, yeah let me take you out, come on

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now




So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, here comes the sound
