Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hit the lights, oh, oh, oh
Hit the lights, oh, oh, oh
Hit the lights, hit the lights

And if you with it, I'm with it, we'll keep it rollin'
And we'll be dancing and drinking until the morning
Until the morning, till the morning, till the morning, morning
Stars are going off
It's so hot there's girls just taking all their clothes off
So take a picture of this moment with your iPhone
'Cause I don't wanna forget tonight, night, night
Put your lighters in the air
Let 'em burn into the night
And let everybody know that you're with it and you're ready to go
So hit the lights, oh, oh, oh
Hit the lights, oh, oh, oh
