Dance, dance, dance, dance
Keep on dancin'
Dance, dance, dance, dance

We're just dancin' to the beat, feel the heat
I'm movin' my feet
Headed towards the floor, gonna get down
A get down some more

Rumba and tango
Latin hustle, too
Yowsah, yowsah, yowsah
I wanna boogie with you

Bop bop bop bop bow
Bop bop bop bop bow
Bop bop bop bop bow
Bop bop bop bop bow

Ooh, what a treat, feels so sweet
Ahh, that body heat
When I'm dancin' with my baby, drives me crazy
Makes me hazy

Rumba and tango
Latin hustle, too
Yowsah, yowsah, yowsah
I wanna boogie with you

Bop bop bop bop bow
Bop bop bop bop bow
Bop bop bop bop bow
Bop bop bop bop bow

It's 2021 and this record is still relevant. A classic that will never die. Pal Joey killed this. I got this in my hands and the first time I played it loud was at a club called the Powerhouse on W.26th Street in NY. The name says it all. It had a sick all JBL system. This record rumbled the hole building. But then again what system won't this record rumble. If you're a DJ and you don't play this, you suck. Period!
