I'll tell you why I wanna dance
It ain' the sweetness of the music
I like the sweetness of the music
But that ain't why I wanna dance

It's sumpin' thumpin' in the bass
A bump on bumpin' under music
A bumpin' bumpin' under music
Is all I need to start me off
I don't need nothin' else to start me off

Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all

Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all

And now this heart is beatin' fast
And that's a rhythm I can dance to
I'm mighty glad I got a chance to
With this big heart that's beatin' fast
Tomorrow mornin' let it rain
Tomorrow mornin' let it pour
Tonight we's in the groove together
Ain't gonna worry 'bout stormy weather
Gonna kick old trouble out the door

Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
Beat out dat rhythm on a drum
And kick old trouble out the door

Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
Beat me dat rhythm on a drum
And kick old trouble out the door
Kick 'im out de door
Kick 'im out de door
Kick 'im out de door
Kick 'im out de door
