Can't you hear what I hear, that's the sound
of the voice that you haven't heard in a while

Hey yo Marvin, what you feel about it
And what you think your nephew Snoopy Snoop should do about it

[Snoop Dogg] (Marvin in background)
It's a party over here
but I don't really know
what the party is a go
cuz they trippin' at the front door
let it go, slide in slow
but I really don't know cuz I'm tryin to hit the dance floor
and then I'm gonna go to the motel
hands in the air cuz you know I don't care
Hey yo Marvin, what you feel about it
And what you think your nephew Snoopy Snoop should do about it

Chorus 3:
[Marvin Gaye]
Get up and ohhh party, yeah (Snoopy and marvin, MArvin and Snoopy)
I wanna sing a song, and party (together at least)

Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me (yeah)

[Marvin Gaye]
Groovy baby, sing a song, get up, and party

[Snoop Dogg]
Dance with me, dance with me, dance with me

Verse 3:
[Snoop Dogg]
No matter where you at

If you white, if you black
If you don't like me
This is somethin to groove to, to move to
Made to move you, ensue you, Snoop do
What I do, keep it true, and ball through
What I make may can take years on you
Hey yo Marvin, what you feel about it
And what you think your nephew Snoopy Snoop should do about it
