[Sample]
This is a thing that you start with your partner...
And end up with someone else's!

[Intro – Q-Tip]
Ah man (ah yeah)
Here we go (yeah)
Q-tip right here (are you ready?!)
Ah, ah, my-my man Lateef
And DJ Shadow (Shadow)
Let's go (let's go)
(Are you ready?!)

[Verse 1 – Lateef the Truth Speaker]
Hey girl
Let's go on and paint the town tonight
Make sure that the club speaker's soundin' right
Make sure that the dance floor's shinin' nice
Whether we do the two-step, or bump and grind
Whether salsa and merengue, moan and whine
Gonna work that body out in due time
I stick to you close, like a shadow on all sides
Now, let me see you move it around
(Let me see you move it)

Head up!
Feelin' fed up
By the set up
As I punch that clock hard
Get up
Grab my leather (come on!)
Ain't worried 'bout the weather (hah!)
It's time for the art of life (yeah!)
And all the strife
That's goin' on the floor tonight
I spread my arms like a bird in flight
It's alright, little dime piece
We gonna do whatever we like (whatever we like!)
I ain't over concerned with the price
Tell you why (why!)
[Chorus]
Day-in, day-out, we be workin'
Tension's hot, my feet be hurtin'
Now it's time and I am certain
We have had enough
(Now everybody just dance)

Listen as I let this echo
In the ghetto, in the meadow
Every female, every fellow
We have had enough
(Now everybody just dance)

[Verse 2 – Q-Tip]
Inside the the world, I
Struggle to find my
Place with the bass
And the treble that's sky high
Whether you're stout, or you're short
Or you stand, or you fall
And you don't have a chance with them all
From project to playground
Crosstown to uptown
Open your heart
To the beat that's DJ-ed down
From DJ to DJ
It isn't easy
We make the vibes for the world
Hope that you play
Deeper we seep in
This is for weekends
Listen to Q-Tip, Shadow, and Lateef then
Music consoles, if you think it's a no
Then you insane
Transforms – takes you to new planes
This is for all y'all
Folks who say "Aw no
We ain't gonna dance
And enhance on this man's song"
Do get your ass up
How could you pass up
The chance to bring us in your world?
Can you stand up?
[Chorus]
Day-in, day-out, we be workin'
Tension's hot, my feet be hurtin'
Now it's time and I am certain
We have had enough
(Now everybody just dance)

Listen as I let this echo
In the ghetto, in the meadow
Every female, every fellow
We have had enough
(Now everybody just...)

[Bridge – Q-Tip]
Dance, dance (come on, come on!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!)

Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Ah-ah-ah)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)

[Verse 3 – Lateef the Truth Speaker]
Go crazy (go crazy)
Get dumb (get dumb)
As you want (as you want)
It's time to motivate your body
Go ladies (go ladies)
Get sprung (get sprung)
Have fun (have fun)
It's time to motivate the party
Get you movin' like your arteries
Rock from here to Martinique
Turn around, bend over
Touch the floor like you're gardening
I'm trying to get closer than close – 'til you're a part of me
Extension of my spirit and soul, that moves consciously
Forget about the parts of the world that move robotically
And enhance the things that you love out of reality
Take the proper steps to enjoy them methodically
You'll find that the levels you reach can be startling
[Bridge – Lateef the Truth Speaker]
Everybody, time to get up on the dance floor
It's your chance for
An encounter that's romantic
And advance on
Like it was planned on (come on)

Everybody, time to get up on the dance floor
It's your chance for
An encounter that's romantic
And advance on
Like it was planned on (come on)

Everybody, time to get up on the dance floor
It's your chance for
An encounter that's romantic
And advance on
Like it was planned on
By the commander
In a manner that is tantric, so

[Bridge – Q-Tip]
Girl
Gonna let it all hang out tonight (all hang out!)
Gonna let'em loose
That shirt's too tight (hey)
Yeah! (Yuh!)
Shake that thing with all your might
(Shake it, shake it)
Whatever you like
Whatever feels right
'Til the morning like
Tell you why!

[Chorus]
Day-in, day-out, we be workin'
Tension's hot, my feet be hurtin'
Now it's time and I am certain
We have had enough
(Now everybody just dance)

Listen as I let this echo
In the ghetto, in the meadow
Every female, every fellow
We have had enough
(Now everybody just...)

[Outro – Q-Tip]
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Da, da)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Da, da)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Da, da)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)

Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Da, da)
Dance, dance (come on, come on!) (Shadow on all sides!)
Dance!
