Hey girl, what's your name? It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing, But I sure do like your style, And I can see you came to rock In your blue jeans and white tank top, Man that look drives me wild. And it's hey now here we go. DJ don't you play nothing slow Keep those girls out on the floor Gotta make them want to come back for more. Been here since the sun went down, Be here when it comes back around Worked all week it's time to play Gonna get a little bit sideways Sideways. Ain't no need to fight Y'all take that redneck stuff outside That's what parking lots are for. Once you're out you ain't coming back Them velvet ropes ain't got no slack Man they're busting down the door! And it's hey now here we go. DJ don't you play nothing slow Keep those girls out on the floor Gotta make them want to come back for more. Been here since the sun went down, Be here when it comes back around Worked all week it's time to play Gonna get a little bit sideways Sideways. That's right Hey now here we go (hey now here we go) DJ don't you play nothing slow Gotta make 'em wanna (what?) gotta make 'em wanna (what?) Gotta make 'em wanna come back for more. It's hey now here we go. DJ don't you play nothing slow Keep those girls out on the floor Gotta make them want to come back for more. Been here since the sun went down, Be here when it comes back around Worked all week it's time to play Gonna get a little bit sideways Sideways. Sideways. Sideways. Hey girl what's your name? It's so loud in here I can't hear a thing
