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
