Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Yo, you and you, you and you and you
All of y'all invited to come kick it with my crew
Just come along and tell everybody no matter who
Spread the word, by the chitter chat
And go like this, and kinda go like that
It's taking place inside and outside
In your house, in your ride
Gotta get it, get it right
And that's the way it went
It's only evident
And the music's been sent
To move your ligament
Show you down to us
C'mon baby shake that thang
We ain't tryin' to hold nobody back
[Chorus]
Tell your mama come
Tell your papa come
Tell your brother come
Tell your sister come
Tell your cousin come
Tell your homie come
'Cause y'all can come along
Nigga come along
Tell your mama come
Tell your papa come
Tell your brother come
Tell your sister come
Tell your cousin come
Tell your homie come
'Cause they can come along
Really y'all can come along
This is an invitation
So gather up your crew
We goin' on a mission
Provided by the who (who)
The three amigos
Doin' our way like Carlito's
I'm seein' Señoritas
Send some me the Señoritos
So grab her by the hand
And make her feel the jam
It's like a salsa dance
Hotter than some desert sands
So baby sway
Dilate me like my people
Come and unify
The reason this we are equal
And if you're feelin' down
We're here to pick you up
You can shake it off
Baby just tell me what's up
Let me help you out
Or you can turn your back
We don't want to hold nobody back
[Chorus]
Tell your mama come
Tell your papa come
Tell your brother come
Tell your sister come
Tell your cousin come
Tell your homie come
'Cause they can come along
Hey y'all can come along
Tell your mama come
Tell your papa come
Tell your brother come
Tell your sister come
Tell your cousin come
Tell your homie come
'Cause they can come along
All of y'all can come along
And join in the fun
Come along and join in the fun
Come along and join in the fun
Come along see see
We gonna be
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'
Yo, my man Taboo
Look they don't understand
Why don't you flip it up
And switch it back to English man
Well come all of y'all
To our festival
The emotion is
Like a carnival
Music all the around
The world is gettin' down
Everyone's aight
And they dig the sound
So my chicharon in saturated fat
We ain't tryin' to hold nobody back
[Chorus x2]
Tell your mama come
Tell your papa come
Tell your brother come
Tell your sister come
Tell your cousin come
Tell your homie come
'Cause they can come along
All of y'all can come along
The song "Tell Your Mama Come" by Black Eyed Peas feat. Kim Hill is an upbeat and lively invitation for people to join in on the fun and dance. The lyrics suggest that there is a party happening and everyone is invited to come along, including family members, friends, and even strangers. The repeated lines "Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin'" emphasize the joyful and energetic nature of the song.
The lyrics also express the idea of unity and inclusivity. The song encourages people to come together and celebrate, regardless of their backgrounds or differences. The lines "The reason this we are equal" and "Everyone's aight" promote the acceptance of all individuals and the importance of coming together as one.
The use of Spanish language in the song adds to its multicultural appeal. The lyrics mention "Señoritas" and "Señoritos," and the phrase "chicharon in saturated fat" is a reference to a popular Latino snack. The inclusion of Spanish words and phrases shows the Black Eyed Peas' appreciation for different cultures and their desire to bring people of diverse backgrounds together.
