Lyrics

[Intro]

High on the hill with the lonely goatherd

Lay, odee-lay, odee-lay, hee-hoo

He yodelled back with the girl and goatherd

Lay, odee-lay, odee-low

[Chorus]

Wind it up

Uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-low

Yeah

[Verse 1]

This is the key that makes us wind up

When the beat comes on, the girls all line up

And the boys all look, but no, they can't touch

But the girls want to know why boys like us so much

They like the way we dance, they like the way we work

They like the way that L.A.M.B. is goin' 'cross my shirt

They like the way my pants, it compliments my shape

She's crazy, right?

They like the way we react every time we hear the—

[PreChorus]

Every time the bass bang, realize it calls your name

Let the beat wind you up and don't stop till your time is up

Get in line now

[Chorus]

Uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh

C'mon

Uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-low

[Verse 2]

You've got to let the beat get under your skin

You've got to open up and let it all in

But see, once it gets in, the popping begins

Then you find out why all the boys stare

See, they're trying to bite our style

Trying to study our approach

They like the way we do it, so original

I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room

This beat is for the clubs and cars that go—

[PreChorus]

Every time the bass bang, realize it calls your name

Let the beat wind you up and don't stop tlil your time is up

Get in line now

[Chorus]

Uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh

Whenever you're ready

Uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-low

Uh, uh, uh-uh

[Bridge]

Uh-huh

This your moment

Uh-huh

Come on, girl, you know you own it

Uh-huh

You know your key is still tick-tockin'

Hell yeah

But you know they're watchin'

Get it, girl, get it, get it, girl

Get it, girl, get it, get it, girl

To the front, to the side, to the back, but don't let him ride

Keep going, girl, it's your night

Don't let him steal your light

I know he thinks you're fine and stuff

But does he know how to wind you up?

C'mon

[Chorus]

Uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh

Wind it up

Yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-lay, yo-dee-lay, hey
