Pump Up the Jam
Pat Benesta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pump up the jam
pump it up
while you feet are stompin'
and the jam is pumpin'
look at here the crowd is jumpin'
pump it up a little more
get the party going on the dance floor
seek us that's where the party's at

and you'll find out if you're too bad
I don't want a place to stay
get your body on the floor tonight
make my day
i don't want a place to stay
get your body on the floor tonight
make my day
Make my day yo!
Yo!
pump up the jam, pump it up
a pump it up yo pump it
pump up the jam, pump it up

a pump it up yo pump it
pump up the jam, pump it pump it pump it, yo!
