Got to work it out! Got to work it out!
Got to work it out! Got to work it out!
Got to work it out! Got to work it out!
Work it out
Shake yo’ body `til ya break and you got to

Work it out work it out you got to work it
C’mon! Work it out shake your body

`til you break and you got to
Work it out work it out you got to work it
C’mon! Work it out shake your body
`til you break and you got to

Shake it to the beat, never quit!
Make a fist an’ pump it, like THIS!
Make a big scene, throw a fit!
Make it fit, fit, work with it!

Work it out, it’s never too late
Shake it `til you disintegrate
Shake it like you’re losing your faith!
Make it fit, fit, work with it!

Work it out work it out you got to work it
C’mon! Work it out shake your body
`til you break and you got to
Work it out work it out you got to work it
C’mon! Work it out shake your body
`til you break and you got to

Shake your body, just let it go!
Shake it like a baby bottle!
Make a mess, work your muscle
Make it fit, fit, work with it!

Work it out, c’mon make a stand!
Even if they don’t understand
It’s between you an’ ya fam
Make it fit, fit, work with it!

Work it out work it out you got to work it
C’mon! Work it out shake your body

Shake it to the beat, never quit!
Make a fist an’ pump it, like THIS!
Make a big scene, throw a fit!

It’s between you an’ ya fam
F-fu-fuck if they don’t understand!

Shake ya’ body till you do…got to work out!
Got to work it out!

Shake yo’ body, shake yo’ body, baby!
