Back It Up
Lyrics:
[English]
I Can't stop shakin'
The room has a groove and the floor
It's almost earthquakin'
Uhuh
Look what we're makin'
History out on the floor
And it's just awakin'
Uhuh
So get that needle in the core
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know 'xactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Back to the middle to the front to the end
Za dlu dla dlun dloday
Everybody ba dlun dloday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to the back to the end
I wanna
Back, back, back, back it up
Back it up and do it again
...
Gimme some of that funky
The kind that the Duke used to play
And make it more swingy
Heyey
And then give me some hornay
You know the bub-pu-pa bub-pu-pa-bay
Come on, give it to me
Hmmm hmmm
Slam that bass and make it sing
Give those strings that rip 'n zing
You know 'xactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Back to the middle to the front to the end
Za dlu dla dlun dloday
Everybody ba dlun dloday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to the back to the end
So get that needle in the core
...
Scratch that back and gimme more
You know zactly what I came here for
Back it up and do it again
From the middle to the top to the end
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Ba dlu dla dlun dloday
Back to the middle to the front to the end
Za dlu dla dlun dloday
Everybody ba dlun dloday
I don't care if he's a friend
From the front to the middle to the back to the end
...
