Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a steam beat

And it's comin' after you

You can take it

If you only let your feelings through

[PreChorus]

So DJ, spin the sounds

There ain't no way that you're gonna let us down

Gonna dance, gonna burn this disco out

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Keep the boogie alright

Get that sound

Everybody just get on down

[Verse 2]

Got a hot foot

Better freak across the floor

Join the party

And we'll keep you movin', that's for sure

[PreChorus]

So DJ, spin the sounds

There ain't no way that you're gonna sit us down

Gonna dance till we burn this disco out

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Groove on

Keep the boogie alright

Get that sound

Everybody just get on down

[Bridge]

Once you get the beat inside your feet

There ain't no way to stop, you movin' good

Now the weekend's come, it's time for fun

You got to groove just like you know you should

People, now

[Verse 3]

Are you ready?

Won't you rock across the room?

Got a feelin'

That we're gonna raise the roof off soon

[PreChorus]

So DJ, spin the sounds

There ain't no way that you're gonna sit us down

Gonna dance till we burn this disco out

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Keep the boogie, alright

Groove on

Get that sound

Everybody just get on down

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Groove on

So DJ, spin the sounds

There ain't no way that you're gonna sit us down

Gonna dance till we burn this disco out

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Groove on

Keep the boogie alright

Gonna dance, gonna shout till we burn this disco out

Groove on

Get that sound

Everybody get down tonight

Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out

Get down, get on down

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Keep the boogie alright

Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out

Get that sound

Everybody get down tonight

Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out

[Chorus]

Groove all night

Keep the boogie alright

Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out

Get that sound

Everybody get down tonight
