[English]

Just got a phone call

A hot tip where to go, y'all

I heard about another dance hall

Ain't no way they gonna shut, shut, shut us down, listen up

Girls and boys

I declare it time to make some noise

Show of hands for all the real McCoys

We'll keep it goin' all this weekend, hear the sound

I would never let 'em shut us down

All the VIPs, get your things, follow me

DJ knows we can't get enough (whoa)

Honey, don't be shy, yeah, you know you lookin' fly

Throw your hands up high for some love

At the afterparty, the afterparty

At the afterparty, we ain't never gonna stop

The afterparty, the afterparty

At the afterparty, we can dance until we drop

Shake it up now, break it up now

Take it up now at the afterparty

Shake it up now, break it up now

Take it up now

We're gonna break some rules

This event will be the crown jewel

Hey, look, somebody's in the pool

Don't see a clock but I know this night is young

Gotta stay to win

Kick it up and let the games begin

It's the kind of night that never ends

We just keep on having fun

We got room enough for everyone

All the VIPs, get your things, follow me

DJ knows we can't get enough (whoa)

Honey, don't be shy, yeah, you know you lookin' fly

Throw your hands up high for some love

At the afterparty (yeah, yeah), the afterparty

(Oh, whoa) at the afterparty, we ain't never gonna stop

(Never gonna stop) the afterparty, the afterparty

(Oh yeah) at the afterparty, we can dance until we drop

We got it goin' on tonight

Baby, you look outta sight (oh yeah)

Spinnin' like a satellite

Don't wanna go back down (down)

No, they won't shut us down (down, down)

At the afterparty, (we're goin' on at the) the afterparty

(I really want it) at the afterparty, we ain't never gonna stop

The afterparty (we're gonna kick it off), the afterparty

(So get ready to) at the afterparty, we can dance until we drop

Shake it up now, break it up now

Take it up now at the afterparty

Shake it up now, break it up now

We can dance until we drop (drop)
