You take, you shake break, I'm no fake 
You cool the way, you move, no more mistakes 
You can't stand still, you've got to move 
Feel the bass line, feel the groove 
The beat, the bass, and the lyrics are fine 
Get on the floor, you got no time 
Party people I give you a chance 
Wave up your hands and feel in trance 

Everybody take a chance 
Waving up your hands 
Can you feel this trance? 
Everybody take a chance 
Waving up your hands 
Can you feel this trance? 
Take control 
Of your mind 
Your body and your soul 
Take control 
Of your mind 
Your body and your soul 

Can you see now what I'm saying 
The beat is loud and I am playing 
Playing with your life, playing with your soul 
Here on stage and under my control 
So let the rhythm take you on the floor 
With a bass and the drum that you've never heard before 
Open your mind cause I'm talking about dancing 
Open your mind, this is not romancing 

You take, you shake break, I'm no fake 
You cool the way, you move, no more mistakes 
You can't stand still, you've got to move 
Feel the bass line, feel the groove 
The beat, the bass, and the lyrics are fine 
Get on the floor, you got no time 
Party people I give you a chance 
Wave up your hands and feel in trance
