[Verse 1]
Outside inside
De place it ram
Dance floor tight
But we don't give a damn
Man hold yuh gal
And gal hold yuh man
And do the damn thing

Do the damn thing

Pop dat kris
No work tomorrow and you know i ain't driving
Excuse me miss
Tell me what's your name and tell me what your drinking
No sleep tonight
Party's going on till six in the morning
The dance floor's tight
Just the way we like it everybody's jumpin

[Chorus]
Get yo freak on
Do what you want
Gal move yuh waist
Give man a taste

Get yo freak on
Do what you want
Mash up de place
Give me a taste

Inside de club
Sippin on hip, carib, banks & bub
Bass like a sub
Hip hip, soca sweet rub a dub
