Lyrics

When the world is on your shoulder Gotta straighten up your act and boogie down If you can't hang with the feeling Then there ain't no room for you, this part of town 'Cause we're the party people, night and day Livin' crazy, that's the only way So tonight Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf An' just enjoy yourself Groove Let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all Live your life off the wall (Live your life off the wall) Live it off the wall You can shout out all you want to 'Cause there ain't no sin an' folks all gettin' loud If you take the chance an' do it Then there ain't no one who's gonna put you down 'Cause we're the party people, night an' day Livin' crazy that's the only way So tonight Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf An' just enjoy yourself Step on and groove Let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall Life ain't so bad at all Live your life off the wall (Live your life off the wall) Live it off the wall Do what you want to do There ain't no rules, it's up to you (Ain't no rules, it's up to you) It's time to come alive And party on right through the night (all right) Gotta hide your inhibitions Gotta let that fool loose, deep inside your soul Wanna see an exhibition Better do it now before you get too old 'Cause we're the party people, night and day Livin' crazy that's the only way So tonight Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf And just enjoy yourself C'mon and groove Let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you live it off the wall (Life ain't so bad at all) Live it off the wall (Live your life off the wall) So tonight Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf An' just enjoy yourself C'mon and groove (Groove) Let the madness in the music get to you Life ain't so bad at all If you livin' off the wall Tonight Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf (Livin' off the wall) An' just enjoy yourself (Life is better off) C'mon and groove (Livin' off the wall) Let the madness in the music get to you (Life is better off) Life ain't so bad at all (Livin' off the wall) Wanna dance (Tonight, off the wall) Gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf An' just enjoy yourself
