Aquello estaba repleto de gente pa vacilón,
(bis)
y cuando estaba encendido, el muchacho apareció,
(bis)
era la afición del baile y no veas lo que formó,
(bis)
(bis)
a enseñarnos un pasito, que es el baile del reloj,
(bis)
si quieres tu bailarlo, si quieres vacilarlo
(bis)
ahorita te lo enseño, atento a lo que hago
(bis)
las 3, las 9, las 6, las 12

si quieres tu bailarlo, si quieres vacilarlo

The party is described as being full of people ready to dance and have a good time.
