Dance like Micheal Jackson (Break, Break y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (to the beat y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (Break, Break y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (to the beat y'all)

Everybody get down (Break, Break y'all)
Everybody get down (to the beat y'all)
Everybody get down (Break, Break y'all)
Everybody get down (to the beat y'all)

Yeah, feel the beat in your stomach
Put on a glove and love it
Feel the bass, intro out of space
Moonwalk all over your face
I'm priceless, my identity crisis
You dance I dance to white disc
I got the moves to thrill ya, looks to kill ya, straight up like tequila
Go gorilla, this no monkey business
This hip hop no quantum physics
Good Vibe, Bad though, Mixarto ,
Blend it like a Mulatto
Spin around kick like taekwondo
You gotta work those shoes right to the soles
Boogie on down,
Billie Jean style
Say "Ow" when the freaks come out!

[Chorus]
Dance like Micheal Jackson (Break, Break y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (to the beat y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (Break, Break y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (to the beat y'all)
Do it x4
Dance like Micheal Jackson (Break, Break y'all)
Dance like Micheal Jackson (to the beat y'all)

Deep Breath and I'm ready for action
Dance like Micheal Jackson
I don't stop, 'cause I'm the King of Pop
Spin around and I grab my crotch
Just move to the rhythm
I'm looking at the man in the mirror
And he's looking right back
I got one thing to ask, "Who's Bad?"
Yep, you can't do it like me
Break it down to the "A,be,Cs"
Bad to the bone grab the phone,
I'm a smooth criminal You are not alone
It don't matter if ya black or white
Everybody get down when I'm on the mic'
And the party don't stop 'till you get enough
'Cause the Far East Movement is dangerous!

[Chorus]

Yo do you remember the time
When we fell in love on the dance flo'
I wanna rock witchu and I just can't get enough
I'm in the zone and I'm ready to go
Captain EO I'm out of this globe
Slip and Slide on ya hips and thighs
And I can't wait to take you home

Now I'm reminiscing all those hugs and kisses on your cheek
Dancing to the beat
Now won't you be my missus
1983, my Jerry Curls
Pants on tight here to rock your world
To get this tight took a lot of practice,
Dance like Micheal Jackson!

you got it right don't stop the party party
Move to the side don't stop the party party x2
