Everybody Move It

Teddy Thompson · Separate Ways [2005]

Sat in the corner you could pass for dead

get up on the floor and shake your head

everybody move it

everybody move it



if you'd rather be home you can leave right now

this is a party no frowns allowed

everybody move it

everybody move it



bum and grind, have a good time

free yourself and lose your mind

now the party's pumpin' and the groove is on

grab the nearest body and move along

go to the next if it don't feel right

but have no fear, get down tonight

everybody move it

everybody move it



bum and grind, have a good time

free yourself and lose your mind

everybody move it

everybody move it
