Don't you know, pump it up,
You got to pump it up,
Don't you know, pump it up,
You got to pump it up,

Don't you know, pump it up,

It's not so long ago,
That the sound hit the Nation.
Every Saturday night,
On your favourite Radio.

And the Party's jumpin', Yeah
And the vibe feels so strong.
Throw your hands in the air,
Lift your head up high,
You know you got to sing along.
