Is dance, dance, dance

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

You're a sexy mama such a dancin' dream
You're no longer sittin' your train's puffin' steam

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)
