Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's rock some more
Come out here on the floor
Honey, let's rock some more, yeah
Now when you get out here
Don't you have no fear
Put your hands on your hips
And work out
Mama, move up
Honey move back
Shuffle to the left
Wobble to the right
Now it's plain to see
You put a hurtin' on me
It's a natural fact
I like it like that
So work out
Yeah, baby let's shout
Chop, shout and turn it out
Baby let's shout
Shout and work it out
Yeah
Let's shout
Let's shout
Shout all night long
Round and round we go
Where we stop, nobody knows
Round and round we go
Don't you know, don't you know
Yeah
The band is swinging on the stand
We're moving in, we're moving out
If we'll step back now end this dance with a shout
So let's shout
Yeah, baby let's shout
Chop and shout and work it out
Baby, let's shout
Chop and shout and work it out
Yeah
Let's shout, let's shout, shout all night long
Yeah now baby
Workout now woman
Let's shout, let's shout, shout all night long

I especially love Colin’s Big Band format and have seen him many times. About 10 years ago our family was getting ready to return home from a week at Killington Vermont. We were in the ski chalet with a large crowd waiting for buses to take everyone home after spring break. We were all listening to a DJ. I had Colin’s Cd with this song on it and asked the dj to play it. The place went crazy the floor filled with dancers it was the best end to a great week.
