Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Give me the music

Give me the music

Everybody

Here is the dome, back with the bass

The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time

On the mike with a dope rhyme

Jump to the rhythm jump jump to the rhythm jump

And I'm here to combine

Beats and lyrics to make your shake your pants

Take a chance, come on and dance

Guys grab a girl, don't wait, make her twirl

It's your world and I'm just a squirrel

Tryin' to get a nut to move your butt

To the dance floor, so you what's up

Hands in the air, come on say yeah

Everybody over here everybody over there

The crowd is live and I pursue this groove

Party people in the house

Move, move

(Let your mind, put me on line)

Come on let's sweat, baby

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat, sweat

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Everybody dance now

Come on let's sweat, baby

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat, sweat

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Everybody, everybody

Everybody, everybody

Everybody dance now

Da da dum

Everybody dance now

Da da dum dum

Da da dum dum

Everybody dance now

Pause, take a breath and go for yours

On my command now hit the dance floor

It's gonna make you sweat 'til you bleed

Is that dope enough, indeed

I paid the price, I control the dice

I'm more precise, to the point I'm nice

The music takes control, your heart and soul

Unfold, your body is free and a whole

Dance till you can't, dance

Till you can't dance no more

Get on the floor and get raw

Then come back and upside down

Easy now, let me see ya

Move, move

(Let your mind, put me on line)

The music is my life

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody dance now

Everybody

Come on let's sweat, baby

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat, sweat

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat baby

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat, sweat

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat baby

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Sweat, sweat

Let the music take control

Let the rhythm move you

Da da dum dum

Da da dum dum
