Lyrics

Cover Version

Come on, shake your body baby,
do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on, shake your body baby,
do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer.

Come on, shake your body baby,
do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it till you've tried it
Do the conga beat

Everybody gather 'round now
let your body feel the heat.
Don't you worry if you can't dance
let the music move your feet.
It's the rhythm of the island
and like sugarcane, so sweet.
If you want to do the conga
you've got to listen to the beat.

Come on, shake your body baby,
do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on, shake your body baby,
do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on, shake your body baby,
do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer.
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it till you've tried it
Do the conga beat

Conga (Yeah!)
Do the conga
Come on, come on, come on now
Do the conga beat

Original Version

Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Everybody gather 'round now Let your body feel the heat Don't you worry if you can't dance Let the music move your feet It's the rhythm of the island And like the sugar cane so sweet If you want to do the conga You've got to listen to the beat Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that conga beat Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga I know you can't control yourself any longer Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that conga beat Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga

Song Production Information

good-cool

This is a cover of the 1986 Gloria Estefan (Miami Sound Machine) Mexican hit. I had great pleasure in retaining the original Latin flavor of the song while adding elements of house to it. I hope you are pleased with the arrangement of this version of the song.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

The powerful tune of this song was arranged by good-cool, with the energy of an "activating engine", causing an uncontrollable urge to dance.
The swift movements of the professional dancers throughout the movie also convey this effectively.
I recommend playing the song in 2P and LIGHT7 modes with two people, so they can sense the exciting rhythm flow through their body (Although this may initially seem embarrassing, it subsides when playing with friends, and you reluctantly feel happier).
