Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Bop, bop, twist, twist

Check it off your checklist

Chug, chug, pick it

Move it, move it, mix it

Right left, all around

Disco, disco, to the ground

Boogie, boogie, freestyle

Then freeze

Shimmy like you mean it like all of the time

Gotta meet you in the middle of the Conga line

And I'll follow your lead if you follow mine

So come on, get up, get ready to go

Let's dance like it's nobody's business

The sky is the limit, if you give it a minute

Just dance, 'cause you're going the distance

So let yourself get carried away

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, twist, twist

Check it off your checklist

Chug, chug, kick it

Move it, move it, mix it

Right left, all around

Disco, disco, to the ground

Boogie, boogie, freestyle

Then freeze

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, bop to this bop

Bop, bop, bop

Bop to this, bop to this

Bop, bop, bop to this bop

So let yourself get carried away

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Do the locomotion and electric slide

Yeah, I know you got the fever like it's Saturday night (like it's Saturday night)

Gonna moonwalk, running man, hammer time (hammer time)

So come on, get up, get ready to go

Let's dance like it's nobody's business (no)

The sky is the limit, if you give it a minute

Just dance, 'cause you're going the distance

So let yourself get carried away

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, twist, twist

Check it off your checklist

Chug, chug, kick it

Move it, move it, mix it

Right left, all around

Disco, disco, to the ground

Boogie, boogie, freestyle

Then freeze

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, bop to this bop

Bop, bop, bop

Bop to this, bop to this

Bop, bop, bop to this bop

So let yourself get carried away

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, twist, twist

Check it off your checklist

Check it off your checklist

Chug, chug, kick it

Chug, chug, kick it

Move it, move it, mix it

Move it, move it, mix it

Right left, all around

Disco, disco, to the ground

Boogie, boogie, freestyle

Then (oh) I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, bop to this bop (to this bop)

Bop, bop, bop

Bop to this, bop to this

Bop, bop, bop to this bop (I wanna...)

So let yourself get carried away

I wanna, wanna, wanna...

Bop, bop, twist, twist

Check it off your checklist (hey)

Chug, chug, kick it

Move it, move it, mix it (oh-yeah)

Right left, all around

Disco, disco, to the ground

Boogie, boogie, freestyle

Then freeze
