[English]

Fresh off the light with my brand-new shoes on

They ain't even out yet, let me introduce 'em

I do my two-step, hey right in front of, yea

Meet me at the door, it's kinda crazy 'cause I'm popular

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

You see me turn it up and make it super size

We about to burn it up, just call me firefly

So what? So what? Talk about it

You want, you want, yeah, they wanna know about it

They want, they want, they wanna see about it

They wanna stand around all night and think about it

Amplify the recipe every time you look at me

I love it when I hear the sound, oh yeah

Turn me music up for me, DJ, are you listening

Let the beat drown us out, oh, oh, oh

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

Land in my spaceship, we didn't come to play

Take over your area, we do this everyday (uh-huh, uh)

Call your self a martian (a martian), well, I'm from Jupiter

Spin around you so fast, you can never catch me up

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

Holla at the DJ and tell him turn it up

'Cause I like when the beat drop, play that record for me

Clap my hands, make me dance, rockin' on the floor

So what? So what? Talk about it

You want, you want, yeah, they wanna know about it

They want, they want, they wanna see about it

They wanna stand around all night and think about it

Amplify the recipe every time you look at me

I love it when I hear the sound, oh yeah

Turn me music up for me, DJ, are you listening

Let the beat drown us out, oh, oh, oh

Holla-holla, holla-holla, holla-holla

Play the record for me

Holla-holla, holla-holla, holla-holla

We rockin' on the floor

Tell the DJ turn it up, oh

Amplify the recipe every time you look at me

I love it when I hear the sound, oh yeah

Turn me music up for me, DJ, are you listening

Let the beat drown us out, oh, oh, oh

Want you to amplify the recipe every time you look at me

I love it when I hear the sound (and I love it when I hear the sound)

Turn me music up for me, DJ, are you listening

Let the beat drown us out, oh, oh, oh
