Lyrics[]
Everybody dance now
Everybody dance now
Give me the music
Give me the music
Everybody dance now
Everybody dance now
Yeah yeah yeah
Everybody dance now
Yeah yeah yeah
Everybody
Here is the dome back with the bass
The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time
Off the mic with a dope rhyme jump to the rhythm
Jump jump to the rhythm jump
And I'm here to combine beats and lyrics
To make you shake your pants take a chance
Come on and dance guys grab a girl don't wait make the twirl
It's your world and I'm just a squirrel
Trying to get a nut to move your butt to the dance floor
So you what's up hands in the air come on say yeah
Everybody over here everybody over there
The crowd is live enough as I pursue this groove
Party people in the house move
Left to right (groove) work me all night
Come on let's sweat (sweat sweat) baby
Let the music take control (control control)
Let the rhythm move you
Sweat (sweat sweat) sweat
Let the music take your soul (soul soul)
Let the rhythm move you
Everybody dance now
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
(Ooh)
(Move) everybody dance now
Everybody dance now
Pause take a breath and go for yours on my command
Now hit the dance floor it's gonna make you sweat till you bleed
Is that dope enough indeed I paid the price to control the dice
I'm more precise to the point I'm nice
Let the music take control of your heart and soul
Unfold your body is free and behold
Dance till you can't dance till you can't dance no more
Get on the floor and get ablow
Then come back and upside down easy now
Let me see you move left to right groove
Work me all night
The music is my life
Everybody dance now
Everybody dance now
Everybody dance now
Everybody
Come on let's sweat (sweat sweat) baby
Let the music take control (control control)
Let the rhythm move you
Sweat (sweat sweat) sweat
Let the music take your soul (soul soul)
Let the rhythm move you
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
