Lyrics

Squeeze the fruit
Give up the juice
Hey, everybody, I hope you bought a whistle
A shaker, and a tempo reader, take 'em out
Let there be no doubt in your mind
This is the time, got to you, whatchu gat?
This is what this thing is all about, yeah
Tell me why you wanna hold it back on me
Oh, come on along and be fancy-free
Let's be happy, baby, sing and shout
Havin' a good time, letting it all hang out
Squeeze the fruit (squeeze it, squeeze it)
Give up the juice (why don't you listen to me?)
To the right, and now take a step to the left
Now don't you get mad now
Uh-uh, uh-uh, don't try controlling yourself
Just let yourself go, yeah
Use what you got
It don't hurt to be alive for now, now
Do what I say
All your troubles will go away, yeah
Well, you move your body, modify
And your funky rhythms are right on time
Well, I'm talking to you, girl, you're the one
'Cause squeezing the fruit, giving up the juice
Is just having fun (just having fun)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (just having fun), just having fun
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Just squeeze the fruit (yeah-yeah) (squeeze the fruit, yeah)
Give up the juice (don't want you to a-hold it back on me)
Squeeze the fruit (squeeze the fruit, yeah)
Give up the juice (come on and love)
Squeeze the fruit (squeeze the fruit, yeah)
Give up the juice ('cause the world is so little)
Squeeze the fruit (squeeze the fruit, yeah)
Give up the juice
Just have a good time
