The Life Of The Party

Jackson 5 · X4 Jackson 5 [2010]

All you gotta do

Is dance, dance, dance

All you gotta do

Is clap your hands, hands, hands

You'll be the life of the party

Yes you will now

Life of the party

Yes you can



Hey Miss. Corner Sitter never left your seat

'Til some dancing heart getter charm you to your feet, yeah

You got the movement soon you'll be doing it

So get with it, baby get with it



You'll be the life of the party (You thrill me when you dance, whoa)

You can be, you can be

Life of the party

You can be, you can be

(Dance, you can dance) yes you can



You're a sexy mama such a dancin' dream

You're no longer sittin' your train's puffin' steam

The guys are lined up they're hoping to wind up with you now

Can't you see it



You'll be the life of the party (I love the way you dance, whoa yeah)

You can be, you can be

Life of the party

You can be, you can be



There'll be dancin', prancin'

With a little romancin', hah



All you gotta do is

Dance, dance, dance

All you gotta do

Is clap your hands, hands, hands

You can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie

You can move, move, move

You can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie, you can boogie

You can move, move, move

Let's get down, down, down, down, down, down

Let's get down, down, down, down, down, down

(Ad-lib and fade)
