To the beat as the music blares

Everyone put your hands up

and get your drinks up

The entire world is going crazy

Everyone put your hands up

and get your drinks up

Now put your hands up

Shake your body

Everybody let’s party

all night Everybody who agrees Hurray

Let’s party all night

Giddy up! Giddy up!

You know what I’m sayin’

This is a listening

pick-me-up

The priming for the party

It suits well with the lights

shaking all night am I right

To the beat as the music blares

Everyone put your hands up

and get your drinks up

The entire world is going crazy

Here we go here we go

Let’s do it continuously

It’s only 12:00am

Still have time till the sunrise

Still have time till the sunrise

Still have time till the sunrise

So let’s start again after

one more drink

before the sunrise

Don’t stop the music

DJ I am asking you

“I can trust you ok?”

Yes Sir

so that nobody

says I am going home

Everybody let’s drink

one shot all together here you go

To the beat as the music blares

Everyone put your hands up

The entire world is going crazy

Everyone put your hands up
