I know you've been waiting, yeah
I've been watching you, yeah
I know you want to get up, yeah
Come on
[Chorus: ]
Everybody, come on, dance and sing
Everybody, come on, dance and sing
Everybody, get up and do your thing
Let the music take control
Find a groove and let yourself go

You know what I'm trying to say
Come on, take a chance
Get up and start the dance
Let the D.J. shake you
Let the music take you

Let your body take a ride
Feel the beat and step inside
Music makes the world go 'round
You can turn your troubles upside down
Gonna have to change your mind
Gonna leave your troubles behind
Your body gets the notion
When your feet can make the motion

Dance and sing, get up and do your thing (repeat 3 times)
