Lyrics
[Intro]
We can boogie down, down, up on down
The boogie down, down, up on down
The boogie down, down, up on down
The boogie down, down, up on down
[PreChorus]
Let's groove tonight (The boogie down, down, up on down)
Share the spice of life (The boogie down, down, up on down)
Baby, slice it right (The boogie down, down, up on down)
We gonna groove tonight (The boogie down, down, up on down)
[Chorus]
Let this groove, get you to move
It's alright, alright, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes
So stand up, alright, alright
[Verse 1]
Gonna tell ya what you can do
With my love, alright
Let you know, girl, you're looking good
You're outta sight, alright
Just move yourself and glide like a 747
And lose yourself in the sky among the clouds in the heaven 'cause
[Chorus]
Let this groove, light up your fuse, it's alright, alright, alright, (Oh-oh-oh)
Let this groove, set in your shoes so stand up alright, alright
[Verse 2]
Let me tell ya what you can do
With my love, alright
Gotta let you know, girl, you're looking good
You're outta sight, alright
[Verse 3]
Just tell the DJ
To play your favorite tune
Then you know it's okay
What you found is happening now, oh
[Chorus]
Let this groove, light up your fuse, it's alright, alright, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes, so stand up, stand up, alright
Let this groove, get you to move, it's alright, alright, alright, yeah
Let this groove set in your shoes, so stand up, alright, alright
[Bridge]
You will find peace of mind on the floor, take a little time
Come and see, you and me, give a little sign
I'll be there after a while, If you want my love
We can boogie on down, down (We can boogie down, down, up on down)
Boogie on down, down (The boogie down, down, up on down)
We boogie on down, down (The boogie down, down, up on down)
We boogie on down, on down (The boogie down, down, up on down)
[PreChorus]
Let's groove tonight (The boogie down, down, up on down)
Share the spice of life (The boogie down, down, up on down)
Baby, slice it right (The boogie down, down, up on down)
We gonna groove tonight (The boogie down, down, up on down)
Ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
Let this groove, light up your fuse, it's alright, alright, alright, oh oh (Hey, hey, alright!)
Let this groove set in your shoes, so stand up, alright, alright (Ay, alright)
Let this groove, get you to move, it's alright, alright, alright, oh-oh-oh (We gonna groove tonight, share the spice of life)
Let this groove set in your shoes, so stand up, alright, alright (Baby slice it right, just wanna' groove tonight, hey, hey, oh)
