Get the playlist playing
Drop a needle on a .45
Don't matter, just sway with it
It could be some banjo on Dre Beats
A little Marley, a little Springsteen
Or maybe that 808 shaking that bass on a bench seat
Shake off your worries and your problems
Throw on
Something to dance to (to dance to)
Whatever makes you move (makes you move)
Find the groove in a song (song)
Lose yourself and get gone (get gone)
Grab somebody, let lose
We all need something to dance to
We all need something to dance to
(I just wanna dance to something)
Put a little Motown soul
In that Cha Cha Slide (Cha Cha, Will, come on)
Try a lil' Boot Scoot Boogie, girl
On a South Beach night
Drop a lil' trap beat on Beale Street
Do-si-do to some zydeco
From Jamaica to Tennessee
Throw on
Something to dance to (something to dance to)
Whatever makes you move (just go on and move it)
Find the groove in a song (song)
Lose yourself and get gone
Grab somebody, let it lose
We all need something to dance to
In the middle of a cornfield
In the middle of the club
(In the middle of the club)
Bluetooth in the living room
Go and cut a rug (dance your groove)
In the middle of a cornfield
In the middle of the club (yeah)
Bluetooth in the living room
Go and cut a rug
Go on, throw on
Something to dance to (something to dance to)
Whatever makes you move (what ever makes you move)
Find the groove in a song (find a groove)
Lose yourself and get gone (gone)
Grab somebody, let it lose
We all need something to dance to
In the middle of a cornfield
In the middle of the club
Bluetooth in the living room
Go and cut a rug
In the middle of a cornfield
In the middle of the club
Bluetooth in the living room
Go and cut a rug
