English version

In this game, use your feet and dance to the beat
Step on the arrows and follow the rhythm
Don't match the timing with your eyes, feel the rhythm with your soul

Com'on, let me hear you say RIGHT!
Left!
UP! UP!
Down! Down!
UP! UP! UP!
I wanna hear you say Dooooooooooooooooooown!

* Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! Matching the timing with your eyes isn't gonna give you a cool score!
  So don't match the timing with your eyes. Feel the rhythm with your soul!

  Now place your feet on the left and right arrows.
** Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah! Place your feet on the left and right arrows.
Don't return your feet to the center. Just keep standing there!

Com'on, let me hear you say RIGHT!
LEFT!
RIGHT! LEFT!
LEFT! RIGHT!
RIGHT! LEFT! LEFT!
LEFT! RIGHT! RIGHT!
I wanna hear you hear you say *RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT RIGHT LEFT!

  LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT LEFT RIGHT!

  Remember! Place your feet on the left and right arrows.
  Don't return your feet to the center.

RIGHT RIGHT LEFT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT!

Let me hear you say Down Down Right!

Let me hear you say Down Down Right!
DDR!
Down Down Right!

Trivia

This song has different backgrounds, banners, jackets, or other related images. For more information, please see this page.

• Lesson by DJ is the only Lesson song to be crossed over to other DanceDanceRevolution games outside the Wii releases.
• In DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY, HOTTEST PARTY2 and Disney Grooves, Lesson by DJ's BASIC chart uses Hand Markers in place of the Left and Right arrows, if the option for Hand Markers is on. This includes the "down down right!" ending, but does not include the three jumps.
• The "U.T.D." in Lesson by DJ's artist stands for "U1", "Tatsh" and "Dolph".
• Lesson by DJ marks Scott Dolph's final appearance in a BEMANI song.
• Lesson by DJ received new banners in DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY2 and DanceDanceRevolution S.
• Lesson by DJ was leaked on the music list for DanceDanceRevolution A on July 7th, 2016, in the game's website. It was removed shortly afterwards.

It also has Japanese (or English) subtitles for the song, which are on top of the notes, even if the combo counter and judgement are set to background.
    • Interestingly, when the Japanese subtitles are translating the portions of Lesson by DJ that remain in English on the Japanese version, they do not use direct translations (for example, the last two repetitions of "let me hear you say" are translated differently from each other).
