Lyrics

English Version

Hey there, everyone!
From here on, I'm gonna be telling you how to play this game!
It's really easy.
You just need to step on the arrows in time with the music,
but first, I'm gonna show you the basics,
so make sure you pay attention!

To start off, arrows will come up from the bottom of the screen
At the exact moment an arrow matches up with this frame, step!
You got it?
Now it's your turn!
You all set? Well let's get started!
Here! We! Go!

Left!

Right!

Left! Left!

Right! Right!

Now, let's try some up and down arrows!
Use your right foot for up arrows and your left foot for down arrows!
Go for the same feel you just had with the left and right arrows.
You all ready to go? Then let's get rollin'!
Let's! Get! Down!

Up!

Down!

Up!

Down!

Up! Up!

Down! Down!

Up! Up!

Down! Down!

Alright, yeah! That's how you get down.
Don't bring your feet back to the center, though.
Keeping them on the panels is how you step up your game.
Next, we're gonna rehearse everything you've learned so far.
You better get yourself ready!
It's! Time! to Dance!

Left!

Right!

Up! Up!

Down! Down!

Left! Left! Right!

Right! Right! Left!

Left! Left! Right! Right!
Left! Right! Left! Bring it down, now!

Yeah, now jump!

Jump!
Okay! Jump!

One last time, jump!

Wow! The way you move! You might just start a dance revolution!
