Lyrics

We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
Let's go where the people go
That's where we want to be
Dancin' in the disco light
Shine all over me
Music playin' loud and clear
'Cause that's we, we want to hear, yeah
So let's go where they disco down
We'll rock and shake our bodies to the ground
(We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground)
Hangin' out
(We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground)
Hangin' out
(We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground)
Hangin' out
(We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground)
Hangin' out
Everybody hurry down
It's gonna be a night on the town
Sweet music will fill the air
It's all about hangin' out
Got to see you there
We will groove to the beat
In the disco heat
Hangin' out!
Everybody coming
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
(Ooh...)
Come on with your dancin' shoes
We ain't got no time to lose
Come on with your disco-scase
We don't wanna be late
Hangin' out
Well, hangin' out
Hangin' out
Hangin', hangin'
We're on the loop, huh!
We're on the loop
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
(Ooh, you're gettin' my singin')
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
(Ooh, you're gettin' my singin')
Rock, shake, rock, shake!
That's what it's about, hangin' out
Shake it down, shake it down and rock
That's what it's about, hangin' out
Shake it down and rock, shake it down, baby
Shake it down, shake it down and rock
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground
We're gonna rock and shake our bodies to the ground...
