Now gather around everybody
And listen to this brand new groove
It's guaranteed, guaranteed to make your body move!
Now we don't need no radio station
And I don't want no standing ovation

For me to get down, oh

Open bar, and you can be what you wanna be!
I said grab somebody, anybody
Get together, clap your hands and be
Let's do it like these are the best days of our lives

So, gather around like it's no tomorrow
Like you ain't got nothing that means
And bring your friends and family
You better make sure that the time is chosen
Now we ain't got no time for conversation
And it won't be no crazy altercation
Only electric relaxation
For all around, all!
