Ah push it
Oooh baby baby
Baby baby
Oooh baby baby
Baby baby
Get up on this!
Ow! Baby!
Salt and Pepa's here to stay!
[Now wait a minute y'all
This dance ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
So all you fly mothers get on out there and dance
Dance I said!]
Salt and Pepa's here and we're in effect
Want you to push it babe
Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat
C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know
How to become number one in a hot body show
Now push it
Ah, push it - push it good
Ah, push it - push it real good
Ah, push it - push it good
Ah, push it - p-push it real good
Hey! Ow!
Push it good!
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Push it good
Push it real good
Ah, push it
Ah, push it
Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop
Yeah, you come here, gimme a kiss
Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed
Can't you hear the music's pumpin' hard like I wish you would?
Now push it
Push it good
Push it real good
Push it good
P-push it real good
Ah, push it
Get up on this!
Boy, you really got me going
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing
Ah, push it

Released during the height of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, the track transcended its genre boundaries to become a cultural touchstone, influencing countless subsequent artists and solidifying the group's legacy as pioneers who seamlessly integrated soulful vocals with aggressive, rhythmic delivery.
