Electric Slide (Shall We Dance)

Excuse me sweetheart, what's the name of that old, new dance?

The, the, the Electric Slide

(Izzy, yeah, make it better)

(Ooom, so funky)

(Ooom, so funky)

Ooom, here we go, here we go

So funky, here we go, here we go

Ooom, here we go, here we go

So funky, here we go, here we go

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

The, the, the Electric Slide

Yeah, make it better

Ah yeah, that's right, everybody on the dance floor

On the dance floor, yeah

Grandmaster Slice and Izzy Chill with another swinger

Doin' a little Electric Slide here

So party people, come on everybody and do your part

This jam is for the old, young, and young at heart

Just groove, move your body, swing it now and let's party

It's not overhyped but it's not lah-dee-dah-dee

Your body's in battle and your feet are the weapon

So charge the dance floor and then start steppin'

It's for all age groups, wallflowers and plants

So what you waitin' for? Come on, shall we dance?

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Come on, y'all, shall we dance?

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

The, the, the Electric Slide

(Izzy, yeah, make it better)

Wherever you are when you hear this song

You have to tap your feet or hum along

Before you know it, you'll be steppin' proud

Movin', groovin', singin' out loud

The tempo ain't tough and the rhythm is swingin'

And when you think about my song you'll be singin'

Go side to side, back and forth and just spin around

Change directions, whip, skip

Don't jump around like you got ants in your pants

Get on the dance floor, come on, shall we dance?

The '90s is our party, so what's in store?

This funky fresh song and a whole lot more

Let's go round and round like coffee being stirred

Grandmaster Slice and Izzy Chill, a new household word

We got everybody rockin' and everybody talkin'

Even your grandma bought her a Walkman

She listens to my music when she gets the urge

And when my song hits her ears like a power surge

Electricity runs through her veins

Like a runaway freight train, whisky tamed

Choose to get loose as we entertain

No strain on your brain, you won't go insane

You feel the beat, it's gonna put you in a trance

Get on the dance floor, come on, shall we dance?

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Come on, everybody, shall we dance?

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

The, the, the Electric Slide

(Izzy yeah, make it better)

Now let's do this dance you selected

Make sure that it's electric

If it's not, I'll disconnect it

Check it, perfect it, then correct it

Let's go, is what I cry

It's time to do the Electric Slide

The beat, Izzy's cueing it

The dance, I'm doing it

If you wanna learn it, then start reviewing it

A few easy steps, hop, skip, and a turn

Everybody join in, it's kinda easy to learn

Izzy used to do a rain dance

Now it's Electric Slide every chance

From dusk till dawn, no more little showers

They get thunderstorms with dancing powers

All together now like we're at a big rally

Come on, let's dance, shall we?

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Come on, y'all, shall we dance?

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

The, the, the Electric Slide

(Izzy, yeah, make it better)

Yeah, now everybody out there doing the Electric Slide

I want to see who can do the slide the best

If you can do it real good, do it with your eyes closed

At the count of three, close your eyes and start steppin'

Is everybody ready? Come on, kick it

One, two, three

Break it down

Do that dance, do that, do that, that dance

Do that, do that, do that, that dance

Do that dance, do that dance

Do-do-do that dance

Do that, do that, do that, that dance

Do that, do that, do that, that dance

Do that dance, do that dance, do that dance

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

Ahhhhh, got to keep on dancing

The, the, the Electric Slide

(Izzy, yeah, make it better)

Now it's the talk of New York, the dance of DC

Philadelphia's favorite, Maryland's melody

The song of the South, the step of the West

Masterpiece of the East, and the North's impressed

It's a national dance, done worldwide

Even Russia's doing the electric slide

Better get with it and do it soon

In 1990, they'll be doing it on the moon

Ooom, so funky

Yeah

Ooom, so funky

Say what?

Ooom, here we go, here we go

So funky, here we go, here we go

Ooom, here we go, here we go, so funky

Ooom, Ooom, Ooom

Ah yeah

Grandmaster Slice and Izzy Chill

Greater funk breakers in full effect

Slippin' and slidin', groovin' and glidin'

Ooom, ooom, ooom, so funky

To everybody on slide y'all keep on slide

And we outta here

Peace, peace, peace

Ooom, ooom, ooom, so funky
