This is your moment to learn
Lesson of sitting on top of you
I'm feeling hungry, drop that beat for me
I started, now I’ll go until the end
First, tie your hair, bend your knees
Come on, squat down, go down, ahn
First, tie your hair, bend your knees
Come on, squat down, go down, ahn
(Take it) Squat and take (take, take, take)
Squat and take (Come on)

Squat and take (Come on, girl)
I love to see you sit
Don’t forget to warm up
Just don’t get hurt
When you start to go down
This girl drops and jumps
Move your body
Just like she lifts her hips
You’re messing with my heart
First, tie your hair, bend your knees
Come on, squat down, go down, ahn
First, tie your hair, bend your knees
Come on, squat down, go down, ahn
