Lieya lieya lieya lieya
Oh oh oh

Would you take me out dancing
Dancing on the floor
I'll be out in Rio
Dancing at the disco
Girls be lookin' sexy
Dressin' mighty fine
They be dancing funky
Having themself a good time

I'll be stepping out 
To paint the town
And party the night away
I'll be dancing
I'll be grooving
And I'm gonna do it
'Cause the drummer made me do it
Made me do it 
To the way he plays

Won't you take me to the party
Party with the world
Dancing in the ghetto
Love enough (?)
Come on everybody
Won't you feel the joy
Music is the potion
Rock' it from coast to coasting

I'll be steppin' out
Around the world
Washing the pain away
You'll be dancin'
You'll be groovin'
And you can do it
'Cause the drummer made you do it
Made you do it 
To the way he plays

Lieya lieya lieya lieya
Oh oh oh
Lieya lieya lieya lieya
