Mama said on the day I was There was a whole shakin' goin' on There was a party next door the people out for more And they played the boogie all night I was raised on a beat that was oh so Fed on the rhythm and she sent me on my way I heard my mama say Son, don't your dancin' shoes
Bop you drop it 'til you break it Move it 'til you it Dance,
When you're down at a party and the hot And you see somebody you like a lot Don't the feelin' if the feelin's right a chance and dance 'cause tonight's the night We'll do it
Bop you drop Shake it 'til you it Move it you lose it Dance Bop, bop, bop Shake it, it, shake it Move it you lose it Dance, dance, dance, Dance, dance,
