Lyrics

[Intro]

You have to release your inner caveman

And everything will just flow naturally

Eh?

Hit it, Mr. Braithwaite

[Verse 1]

We weren't born to stand still

Ain't a question of will

Gotta move, it's a fact

You were born to react

You weren't made to behave

Like you will in the grave

[Verse 2]

When the music is played

Oh, your soul will be swayed

And your feet, they will move

As if only to prove

That it wasn't by chance

We're destined to dance

[Verse 3]

We were born to boogie

We were born to boogie

It ain't a puzzle

'Cause we're blood and muscle

From the day of creation

We were the dance sensation

[Verse 4]

Come on, shake your booty

'Cause we were born to boogie

Anyone can get it

'Cause we're born kinetic

Come on and Mash Potat-a

The way God made ya

[Verse 5]

Your feet and your hands

Oh, your toes and your glands

Your eyes and your chin

Your face and your skin

Oh, your brawn and your brains

Oh, your balls and your chains

[Verse 6]

We were born to boogie

We were born to boogie

It ain't a puzzle

'Cause we're blood and muscle

From the day of creation

We were the dance sensation

[Verse 7]

Come on, shake your booty

We were born to boogie

Anyone can get it

We're born kinetic

Come on and Mash Potat-a

The way God made ya

[Verse 8]

We were born to boogie

We're all born to...

[Verse 9]

We came up from the ocean

In full locomotion

And when we hit the ground

We just danced around

Because they say

It's in the DNA

[Verse 10]

We were born to boogie

We were born to boogie

We were born to boogie

We're all born to

Boogie, ooh!
