Limbo Rock
The Hit Crew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every limbo boy and girl
All around the limbo world
Gonna do the limbo rock
All around the limbo clock

Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go under limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

Ha ha ha ha
Limbo lower now
Limbo lower now
How low can you go

First you spread your limbo feet
Then you move to limbo beat
Limbo ankle, limbo knee
Bend back like a limbo tree

Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go under limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

La la la la

Get yourself a limbo girl
Give that chick a limbo whirl
There's a limbo moon above
You will fall in limbo love

Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go under limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let's do the limbo rock

Don't move that limbo bar




You'll be a limbo star
How low can you go

Overall Meaning

The Hit Crew's song "Limbo Rock" is a fun dance song that encourages everyone to join in and do the limbo rock. The opening lines of the song speak about the universal appeal of limbo, and how boys and girls all around the world are doing it. The lyrics then move on to instruct the listener how to perform the dance - Jack needs to go under the limbo stick, and move to the beat. The song goes on to prescribe a sequence of movements that would make one appear like a limbo tree.


The song's chorus, which is repeated throughout, urges the listener to go lower into the limbo rock dance. The lyrics that follow discuss the benefits of incorporating a partner into the dance, and promise the lure of falling in "limbo love." In the end, the song concludes by reminding the listener not to move the limbo bar too high, and encouraging them to become a "limbo star" by going as low as they can.
