Stepping out
The weekend's open wide
Fill it up, let's blast
The jams and ride

While we're cruising
Around in the street
Listen up for the partying feet
Slap me five, that's the place
We've arrived, it's alive

[Chorus]
Everybody take it to the top
We're gonna stomp all night
In the neighborhood
Don't it feel alright?
We're gonna stomp all night
Wanna party 'til the morning light

Running, running, running

The set is hot
There's people wall to wall
Old ones, young things
Short ones standing tall

So, grab the one with
The smile on her face
And hit the floor and

Stay right on the case
The heat is on and the funk
Just won't leave us alone

[Chorus: x2]

Stomp, step down in it
Put your feet where
You feel the fit

Stomp, you don't want to quit
Put your heel where
You're feeling it

[Chorus: x3]

Stomp, step down in it
Put your feet where
You feel the fit

Stomp, you don't want to quit
Put your heel where
You're feeling it
Take it to the top

Stomp, step down in it
Put your feet where
You feel the fit

Stomp, you don't want to quit
Put your heel where
You're feeling it
