Lyrics

Do the jerk, everybody do the jerk

Girl, hey, what's that you're doing?

Girl, girl, what's that you're doing?

You gotta show me the step to do it

Come on let's learn how to do it

Do the jerk

Hey, do the jerk

Girl, do the jerk

Listen everybody, do the jerk

Girl, how do you move your hips so fine?

Girl, come on now, work it all right on time

Everybody's got to be

Yeah-yeah, it's that beat

Do the jerk

Yeah, do the jerk

Girl, do the jerk

Hey, hey, hey, hey, do the jerk

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do the jerk, yeah, yeah

Do the jerk, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do the jerk

Come on now, do the jerk

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, do the jerk, so walk and walk and walk

Do the jerk, come on now, now, now

Do the jerk, yeah, yeah, yeah

Do the jerk, yeah, yeah, yeah

What's that you doing girl?

You want to put me on top of the world

So the man say

So the man say

And let the group follow the way

Show I how to do it is how you say

Aw

You got to show me

You got to tell me

Take me on the dance floor and now show me how to do it now

Let's do it in the corner

Say that I do it on the door

I'll let us dance in the middle

Little girl, I'll let us do it on the floor

And when we going out, and we don't want no fight

We got money in our pocket man the vibes alright

So we decided to reggae and ska until the morning light

And we are good youth we do them right

Say, do the jerk and jump until you get your money's worth

Do the jerk, do the jerk as I would say, huh

Musical discus I will play

Mr. Spider and Potato Piper

Up on the microphone

Panda microphone, said if you don't like us

You have to go on

I don't

Huh, so stay here don't refuse it

'Cause if you miss you might lose it

It will pass under your nose

But I suppose that's how we go

The ting under the measure

They cannot see disaster

That's why independent I rule the area

We say, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job, say do the job

Come on, come on, say do the job
