(This is Seeed, ya)
(Yo, e-e-nuff)
(Tell the, tell the, tell the people what youre here for)
(Well, hold on)
(We re just gettin warm)
(Drop it on the one)
Steh da nich so bieder, komm beweg dich ma wieder,
Zieh 'n stock ausm arsch und dann ergib dich dem fieber,
Denn die zeiten steifer eitelkeiten sind lange vorber
Mit kopfnicken, rumstehen beeindruckst Du keinen mehr,
'N lockeren tänzer mögen die ladies dagegen sehr
'N cooler typ is heutzutage jederzeit in der lage
Zu hotten, ob mit oder ohne partner is die frage
Jahau,
Denkst, Du wrdest scheisse aussehn,
Wie bestellt und nich abgeholt auf der tanzfläche stehn
Jahau,
Guckste einfach wieder nur zu, alter, worauf wartest du?
D-d-d-dance and advance

Ooh, see di gal, dem sweat, di floor wet, check how far u coulda get

Bei einem tanz kann man ihr goldnes Haar verdienen
Na so wird Dir wohl von ihr der goldne Korb verliehn
Du denkst, Kacke, wär man besser an der Bar geblieben
