D.O.N.S. Feat Technotronic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pump up the jam
Pump it up
While you feet are stompin'
And the jam is pumpin'
Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party going on the dance floor
Seek us that's where the party's at

And you'll find out if you're too bad

I don't want a place to stay
Get your body on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want a place to stay
Get your body on the floor tonight
Make my day

Make my day (x4)
Yo!

Yo!
Pump up the jam, pump it up
A pump it up yo pump it
Pump up the jam, pump it up

A pump it up yo pump it
Pump up the jam, pump it pump it pump it, yo !
