¡Oh Right!

[Coro:]
Ah eh! Llegó la bomba, ven a ponerte en forma
Ah eh! Llegó la bomba, ven a ponerte en forma
Ah eh! Llegó la bomba, ven a ponerte en forma
Ah eh! Llegó la bomba, ven a ponerte en forma

Escuche toda mi gente, vámonos de reventón,
que la cosa está sabrosa para mover el bombón.
Dicen ¡Eh!, dicen ¡Ah!, sin que pare el corazón
y cuando llega la bomba se calienta el vacilón.

Mira como bailo
¡Ay! mira como bailoy ¡Ay! mira como gozo.
Mira como gozo
No me digas que no te gusta ¡No seas mentiroso! ¡Uh!

[Coro]

¡Ay! que todos se vuelvan locos, esa es mi intención.
Poner el cuerpo encendido pa bailar mi reguetón.
Tengo la sangre caliente y este ritmo esta cañón,
porque todos los latinos tenemos mucho sabor.
Si tú quieres ser feliz
Paren todos la oreja les voy a dar la receta:
Vive siempre con amor
¡Y bailando la bomba tendrás tu vida completa!

[Coro]

¡Oye cosa buena, échate pa ca!
Que ésto está caliente y yo quiero más.
Más de tu cintura, más de tu sudor.
Ven mamita linda mueve ese bombón.
Bombón Mueve que te quiero ver.
Bombón... ¡Ay! Mami yo te quiero ver.
Bombón Muévete otra vez mamá.
Bombón ¡Ay! mira que yo quiero más.

Yo quiero un poquitico de la bomba pa gozar.
Yo quiero un poquitico de la bomba pa ponerme en forma.
