I know you've been waiting Yeah I've been watching you Yeah I know you want to get up Yeah come on [Chorus:] Everybody come on dance and sing Everybody get up and do your thing Let the music take control Find a groove and let yourself go When the room begins to sway You know what I'm trying to say... Come on take a chance Get up and start the dance Let the D.J. shake you Let the music take you [Chorus:] Let your body take a ride Feel the beat and step inside Music makes the world go 'round You can turn you troubles upside down... Gonna have to change your mind Gonna leave your troubles behind Your body gets the notion When your feet can make the motion [Chorus:] Dance and sing get up and do your thing Dance and sing get up and do your thing [Chorus:] Everybody come on, everybody you can do your thing
