[Verse 1: Junior, Senior and both]
Give me a beat that I can dance–
Give me a street where I can–
Give me a beat that I can dance to

Give me a rhyme so I can boo–
Give the time so I can–
Give me a rhyme so I can boogaloo (Yeah)

Give me a boy so I can–
Give me a girl that I can–
Give me a boy so we can have fun

Give me a choice so I can make–
Give me a voice so I can–
Give me a choice so I can make one

[Pre-Chorus: Junior, Senior and both]
(I said ooooh)
And the boys were hearing sounds
Hearing sounds that they never heard before
(I said ooooh)
And the girls were dancing to a different drum, woo!
C'mon, girl!

[Chorus: Junior, Betha Barbee and Johanna Fateman]
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
What you gonna do, do, do for the na-na-nation?
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
Yeah! You gotta u-u-use your imagination
[Verse 2: Junior, Senior and both]
Give me a rap and do it–
Reverse your cap and do it–
Give me a rap and do it old school

Give me some cash so I can–
And give me the clash so I can–
Give me my 'stache so I can look cool

(Ooooooh)
I've got an itch, an itch I can't scratch
It's way d-d-down
D-d-down on my back
(Ooooooh)
I'm itching and scratching
All night and day
Gotta find, find a way to make it go away

[Pre-Chorus: Junior, Senior and both]
(I said ooooh)
And if you, if you scratch my back
Scratch my back and forth and I'll do yours
(I said ooooh)
I think a funky president is what we need
Woo!
C'mon, girl!
[Chorus: Junior, Betha Barbee and Johanna Fateman]
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
What you gonna do, do, do for the na-na-nation?
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
Yeah! You gotta u-u-use your imagination

[Verse 3: Everyone]
Ooooh!
Big foot!
Dance now!
Big foot!
Dance around! Dance around!
Big foot!
Dance now! (We're singing!)
Big foot!
Dance around! Dance around!
Big foot!
Dance now! (We're singing!)
Big foot!
Dance around! Dance around!
Big foot!
Dance now! (We're singing!)
Big foot!
Wooo!

[Chorus: Junior, Betha Barbee and Johanna Fateman]
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
What you gonna do, do, do for the na-na-nation?
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
Yeah! You gotta u-u-use your imagination
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
What you gonna do, do, do for the na-na-nation?
Said hey boy, said hey girl, girl
Yeah! You gotta u-u-use your imagination

Yeah! You gotta u-u-use your imagination!
Your imagination!

Uh! Oh!
Uh! Oh!
Uh! Oh!
Uh! Oh!
