Tonight we a go dance...Gbekenee wo baa djo...Esta noche a bailar una

Come out to dance

A whole lot of ways we got the groove
To move you all all over the place
This is not clap your hand business
This is move your feet business
We can do the shuffle, one drop and the skank
Put your body to the test
Come out to skank
In a whole lot of different ways
We got the sound
Stay out all night with us
Tomorrow real life is staring us down again
No time for rest...do the shuffle, one drop and the skank

Relax and enjoy the sound
You look at her she looks at you
Introduce yourself to someone new
No time to rest...do the shuffle, one drop and the skank

Now you know just what to do
Life is the treacher
Love is the lesson today
Yesterday it was justice
Tomorrow will be war
One day we will have to face the real rest
But tonight we dance and we learn
Shi gbekenee wo baa djo (Chant)
Pero esta noche vamos a bailar (Chant)
No time for rest...do the shuffle, one drop and the skank
