Lyrics

It's the nonstop!

Dance, dance, dance, dance.

Here we go (can you feel it), 
let's rule the rhyme 
feel the groove, 
and the electro glide.

Can you feel the beat this way? 
so come on and let your body sway 
Front back side-to-side the motion 
and material and air force glide

When you can do it 
and feel the light 
so get here pump the bump 
Ee-Yah!!

Move your body m-m-move you body! 
Oooh (Yeah-Come on!!) 
Come on move your body 
movin' groovin' yeah

(Everybody) This time can we get 
on the floor!? 
(Everyone comin on to the sides) 
Dance-dance-dance!!

Move your feet 
now come on! 
Wanna be the one to know 
we can get down!

Yeah-yeah can ya hear the sound? (Can your body?) 
we're one place down so don't tire yet 
Feel that? We're the highest of all (Movin to the groovin) 
higher and higher till the break of dawn

At dawn we may never come down 
that's when ya feel and ya hear it now. 
Near the ground rock anyway... 
let the party go on in the place today!

Come on let's party (n-n-n-n-n-never stop the groovin') 
Don't don't stop the groove (Yeah, come-on) 
Ooh! Move your body gotta move 
Move your body (I know you can feel it)

Move your body 
(all over my body I know) 
(Yeah come on, come on!) 
(Come on, come on, come on) 
Move you want to you want to move your body 
(let's dance all night to the...)
