[English]

It ain't nothin' but a party, hey

From the early evening till the break of day

So step this way and let your mind be free

And by the way, welcome to the party

Well, my name's Kid Rock, I'm a Capricorn

And Detroit's city where I was born

When I was young, I knew I'd always be

A super live body rockin' MC

I'm TNT, I'm dynamite

And I'm gonna rock this party all damn night
