Lyrics

[Intro]
Say, get up and dance to the music
Get on up and dance to the music
[Chorus]
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Hey, Greg?
What?
[Verse 1]
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna add some bottom
So that the dancer, they just won't hide
[Verse 4]
You might like to hear my organ
I said ride, Sally, ride, now
[Bridge]
Cynthia
What?
Jerry
What?
If I could hear the horns blow
Cynthia on the throne, yeah
[Bridge]
Listen to me
Cynthia and Jerry got a message they're sayin'
All the squares, go home
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Listen to the voices
[Outro]
Dance to the music
Dance to the music (Hey, yeah, yeah)
Dance to the music
Dance to the music (Yeah)
Dance to the music
