Alexandra:]

We wanna dance till we can't no more

We wanna love with the lights down low,

From Argentina to Morocco

We wanna dance,

It's about to go!

It's about to go!!

'Bout to go! Hey!

Down in the rough part of town

There's an epidemic going around

I get the fever when I hear that song,

I can't help it, I gotta move right now!

When I hit the drums start to play

I let my body run away, eh eh

I wanna party like everyday, eh eh

If you're with me let me hear you say!

Do we wanna stop it? No way!!

Do we let the cops in? No way!!

We about to rock this whole place

What do we want??!

We wanna dance till we can't no more

We wanna love with the lights down low,

From Argentina to Morocco

We wanna dance,

It's about to go!

It's about to go!!

'Bout to go! Hey!

'Bout to go! Hey!

It's about to go!!

'Bout to go! Hey!

'Bout to go! Hey!

I'm in the rough part of town

There's an epidemic going around

I get the fever when I hear that song

I can't help it, I gotta move right now!!

When I hit the drums start to play

I let my body run away, eh eh

I wanna party like everyday, eh eh

If you're with me let me hear you say

Do we wanna stop it? No way!!

Do we let the cops in? No way!!

We about to rock this whole place

What do we want??!

We wanna dance till we can't no more

We wanna love with the lights down low,

From Argentina to Morocco

We wanna dance,

It's about to go!

It's about to go!!

'Bout to go! Hey!

'Bout to go! Hey!

It's about to go!!

'Bout to go! Hey!

'Bout to go! Hey!

They call me Afro baby

I see you be looking, daddy come get it

I'm with it, I'm ready

You better get busy

So city to city the girls so spinnin' down down down down

Say 1, 2, 3 to the 4

Mami, relax, like you're tryina make it on the toll,

But you're the one that got meon the trippin'

The girls on my hands, when really like it on the hips

El maximo lider del party mondial

High up on your like we're end it

Stop like you know I'm abandoned

Hey!
