Turn up those party lights
Turn up those party lights
Turn up those party lights
Turn up those party lights
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

No doubt about it, gonna scream and shout it
We gonna turn your party lights on
No doubt about it, gonna scream and shout it
We gonna party while the night's young
We gonna groove you, 'til your body stoop
We gonna groove you, 'til you follow suit

Turn on those party lights tonight
Say we gonna escape 'til the dawn comes
Turn on those party lights tonight
Gonna turn your party lights on

Don't worry about it, gonna scream and shout it
C'mon, and turn those party lights on
No doubt about it, gonna scream and shout it
We gonna party 'til the dawn comes
What we gonna do?
We gonna groove you, 'til you want to move
We're gonna move you, 'til you want to groove

Turn on those party lights tonight
C'mon, turn those party lights, babe
Turn on those party lights tonight
Ooh-alright!
I told you they was jamming

We're gonna party down tonight
We party 'til the morning arrive
We're gonna dance and do a little singing
C'mon, girl, let your body sing (turn your party lights on)
C'mon, turn the party lights, babe

Oh
No doubt about it, gonna scream and shout it
Oohh, you gonna turn your party light on
No doubt about it, no doubt about it
Gonna scream and shout it
Gonna scream 'til the dawn comes, oh

Turn up those party lights
Turn up those party lights
Turn up those party lights
Turn up those party lights





I told you they was jamming

+relaxpayourincometax Definitely bro, I appreciate great musicianship and those guys were special. I hate that they aren't still here to receive the accolades that they deserve.

Chris Surrey

Maybe the second! I saw Slave at a club called Raquels in Basildon, Essex. I stood 5 feet away from Mark Adams and Danny Webster. I couldn't believe Slave were playing at a sh*thole. Stone Jam in my top 1 of fave albums.

D Jones

Bad business decisions, distention in the group etc. What a shame.

BassByTheBay

Ok... how did you know my exact top 4 influences?!
