Listen to me now
I got something to tell you
Here we go - all right

Can't stop me now
Hear what I say
My feet want to move
Get out my way

I'm going to have my say
I'm going to every discotheque
I'm going to dance, dance, dance
Ooh till the break of day

It's a shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too
And it's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too

Don't stop the motion
If you get the notion
You can't stop the groove
'Cause you just won't move

I've got my sunroof down
I've got my diamonds in the back
Put on your shaky wig woman
Or I ain't coming back


It's a shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too

If you don't want to go
See one monkey don't stop no show
My body needs action
Ain't going to blow

Yes, I'm going out
To find a dancing man
If you really think you're fast
Try to catch me if you can

It's a shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too

It's a shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too

Don't stop the motion
If you get the notion
You can't stop the groove
Just won't move


I've got my sunroof down
I've got my diamonds in the back
Put on your shaky wig woman
I'm never coming back


It's a shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too
It's a shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame on you if you can't dance too

Shame, shame - can't catch me now, whoo
Shame on you if you can't dance too - come on, come on - yeah
Shame, shame - come on baby
Shame on you if you can't dance too

Shame, shame -  come on now, yeah, come on
Shame on you - give it to me now, give it to me now, oh yeah
Shame, shame - come on on now, yeah
Shame, shame on you - yeah, yeah, yeah -  come on now

Shame, shame - come on baby
Shame on you - whoo - yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
