Don't Upset The Rhythm
Cardio Experts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t upset the rhythm though
Don't upset the rhythm
Don′t upset the rhythm though
Don't upset the rhythm
The time is right
Th' sun is sleeping in the sky
Free old mine
You never know what you might find
What′s your vise?
You know we won′t compromise
So let me show you
Something super beautiful
Lets rock the boat
The magic is unstoppable!
For I'm the flow
That′s the rhythm you've been wai-ting for
Pure delight - Gives me a hot ride!
Its all up to you
And whatever you do (don′t)
Cut into my action
4-3-2-1.

(Go baby, go baby GO!)
Don't upset the rhythm though
(Go baby, go baby GO!)
Don′t upset the rhythm
(Go baby, go baby GO!)
Don't upset the rhythm though, don't you dare
(Go baby, go baby GO!)
Don′t upset the rhythm
Skin and bone
And the baton microphone
Can′t get home
But you can use my dog and bone
We'll crank that stereo
Even when the speakers blow




D-I-Y
Just meet me up in paradise.

The first verse sets the scene with the sun sleeping in the sky and the singer inviting the listener to explore the world with them. The chorus repeats the admonition not to upset the rhythm, and the second verse introduces some more abstract ideas, such as the baton microphone symbolizing the power of music to connect people across distances. The bridge brings everything together with a call to turn up the music and embrace the good vibes.
