Wind It Up
Gwen Stefani/Pharrell Williams Lyrics

High on the hills with the lonely goatherd
Up on a hill with a goat herder who's by himself

Lay-od-lay-od-lay-he-hoo
Singing some non-sense yodeling sounds

He yodelled back with the girl and goatherd
He sang back with a girl and the goat herder

Lay-od-lay-od-low
More yodeling gibberish

Wind it up
Start dancing

This is the key that makes us wind up
The music is what makes us start dancing

When the beat comes on, the girls all line up
When the music starts, the girls get in formation

And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch
The guys watch but can't join in

But the girls want to know why boys like us so much
The ladies are curious why the guys like them so much

They like way we dance, they like the way we work
The way the girls dance is attractive to the guys

They like the way that L.A.M.B. is going 'cross my shirt
The logo of Gwen Stefani's clothing line is on her shirt which the guys appreciate

They like the way my pants, it compliments my shape (she's crazy, right?)
Guys like the way the singer's pants fit her body, even if it seems absurd

They like the way we react every time we hear the
Guys find it amusing how the girls react to the music

Every time the bass bangs, realize it calls your name
The music has a strong effect on people

Let the beat wind you up, and don't stop 'til your time is up
Dance to the music and don't stop until the song ends

(Get in line now)
Get yourself in a group to dance

You've got to let the beat get under your skin
Let the music take control of you

You've got to open up and let it all in
Relax and feel the music completely

But see, once it gets in, the popping begins
Once the music takes hold, dancing starts to happen

Then you find out why all the boys stare
Dancing makes ladies more attractive to guys

See, they're trying to bite our style
Guys are trying to copy the girls' moves

Trying to study our approach
Guys are trying to figure out how the ladies dance so well

They like the way we do it, so original
Guys appreciate how the ladies are unique in their dance style

I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room
Guys who can't keep up with the dancing should leave

This beat is for the clubs and cars that go
The music is meant for dancing in clubs and while driving

(Uh huh) this is your moment
It's time to shine

(Uh huh) come on girl, you know you own it
Be confident in yourself

(Uh huh) you know your key is still tick-tocking
The beat of the music is still playing

(Hell yeah) but you know they're watching
Everyone is watching, so make your moves impressive

Get it girl, get it, get it girl
Dance impressively, keep going

To the front, to the side, to the back, but don't let him ride
Dance with confidence but don't let any guys join in

Keep going girl, it's your night
Dance all night and have fun

Don't let him steal your light
Don't let any guys take attention away from you

I know he thinks you're fine and stuff
Guys find the ladies attractive

But does he know how to wind you up? (c'mon)
But can he dance like you?

Yodelay, yodelay, yodelay, hey!
More yodeling sounds
