Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Party friends, yeah, we ought to do it again, hey
[Verse 2]
Checkin' into boogie body land
[Verse 3]
When you're here, your body say, let's go
And your feet start headin' to the floor
Don't be afraid of what you feel inside
Just let it out, let your body come alive
[Verse 4]
Don't you fight the feelin' that you're feelin'
'Cause it's alright to have a good time
When your body calls, get on off the wall
Just stand tall, can you dig it, y'all?
[Verse 5]
When you hear your body say
Sitting down just ain't the way
Let me take you by the hand
Into boogie body land
[Verse 6]
Take me to the boogie body land
[Verse 7]
Come on, y'all, it's time to strut your stuff
You can't get down if you're scared to get up
Don't be afraid, let us take you by the hand
We'll show you the way, the way to boogie body land
[Verse 8]
There's no time to waste, make up your mind
This is the last stop for you to boogie on
Flashin' lights, can't you see 'em shinin' bright?
The vibes are right, let's have a party tonight
[Verse 9]
When you hear your body say
Sitting down just ain't the way
Let me take you by the hand
Into boogie body land
[Verse 10]
So come on in, let's all hang out
When you hear your body call
Let me take you by the hand
Straight to boogie body land
[Verse 11]
Now when I ring this bell, let me hear you yell (Yeah)
On my command, give yourself a hand
If you're having fun, say I'm on the one
(I'm on the one, I'm on the one)
You're doin' fine, now clap six times
Let's make this sound like a party town (Yeah)
And raise your hands just high as you can
(We got 'em up, now what?)
Don't be afraid, just say, go 'head (Go 'head, go 'head)
Now if you really mean it, let me hear you scream
[Verse 12]
When you hear your body say
Sitting down just ain't the way
Let me take you by the hand
Into boogie body land
[Verse 13]
So come on in, let's all hang out
When you hear your body call
Let me take you by the hand
Straight to boogie body land
[Verse 14]
Don't be afraid
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you the way
The way to boogie body land
[Verse 15]
Don't be afraid
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you the way
The way to boogie body land
[Verse 16]
Don't be afraid
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you the way
The way to boogie body land
[Verse 17]
Don't be afraid
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you the way
The way to boogie body land
[Verse 18]
Don't be afraid
Let me take you by the hand (Don't be afraid)
I'll show you the way
The way to boogie body land
[Verse 19]
Don't be afraid
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you the way
The way to boogie body land
