She slid down to the city limits Monkey time in fifteen minutes Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance. Don't let me down Please stick around Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance. Strobe light on funky feet, Soul children in the disco heat. Top dog, top cat, Move that muscle and shake that fat. Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance. Chicago, L.A. Everyplace, everyway Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance. Illinois, Santa Fe, Do do do do do do do what I say Bite your lip, get up, get up and dance.
