Lyrics
Say, get up- and dance to the music!
Get on up- and dance to the music!
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Hey Greg! (What?)
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat, yeah!
I'm gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet
I'm gonna add some bottom
So that the dancer there just won't hide
You might like to hear my organ
I said, 'ride, sally ride', now
Cynthia (yeah), Jerry! (Go on)
If I could a-hear- the horns blow
Cynthia on the throne, yeah!
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message, that's sayin'
(All the squares, go home!) yeah, yeah!
Listen to the voices
Dance to the music (ha!)
Dance to the music (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Dance to the music (you do that)
(Just like that) dance to the music (yeah!)
Dance to the music (yeah)
Writer(s): Sylvester Stewart
