    Can why'all get funky?
    Soul Sonic Force - can why'll get funky?
    The Zulu Nation - can why'll get funky?
    Yeah!

    Just hit me
    Just taste the funk and hit me
    Just get on down and hit me
    Bambaataa's jus' gettin' so funky, now, hit me
    Yeah!
    Just hit me

    Just start to chase your dreams
    Up out your seats, make your body sway
    Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
    Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
    Love Life Live
    Come play the game, our world is free
    Do what you want but scream

    We know a place where the nights are hot
    It is a house of funk
    Females and males
    Both headed all for the disco

    The D.J. plays your favorite blasts
    Takes you back to the past, music's magic (poof)
    Bump bump bump get bump with some flash, people

    Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
    Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop

    The Soul Sonic Force - Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow, and M.C. Globe
    We emphasize the show, we got ego
    Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
    As the people say, live it up, shucks
    No work or play, our world is free
    Be what you be - be

    Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop
    Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop

    You're in a place where the nights are hot
    Where nature's children dance and set a chance
    On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
    The time has come, and work for soul, show you really got soul
    Are you ready hump bump bump, get bump, now let's go, house

    Twist and turn, the you let your body slide
    You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
    Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
    Gotta rock it, don't stop
    Keep tickin' and tockin', work it all around the clock

    Everybody keep rockin' and clockin' and shockin' and rockin', go house
    Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
    Well hit me, Mr. Biggs (Crowd repeats)
    Pow Wow (Crowd repeats)
    G-L-O-be -E (Crowd repeats)
    The Soul Sonic Force

    You gotta rock it, pop it, 'cause it's the century
    There is such a place tht creates such a melody
    Our world is but a land of a master jam, get up and dance
    It's time to chase your dreams
    Up out your seats, make your body sway
    Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
    Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
    Love Life Live

    Zih Zih Zih Zih Zih (ad lib)
    Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
    Everybody say, shock it and pop it (Crowd repeats)
    Everybody say, ich me sun chi (Crowd repeats)
    Say, Planet Rock (Crowd repeats)
    It's the sure shot (Crowd repeats)
    Say, Planet Rock (Crowd repeats)
    It's the sure shot (Crowd repeats)

    So twist and turn, then you let your body glide
    You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
    So hit me
    Just taste the funk and hit me
    Just get on down and hit me

    Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now hit me
    Every piece of the world
    Rate the message of the worlds
    All men, women, boys, and girls, hey our Planet Rock is superb
    Get on it

    You got the groove, move (ad lib)
    Feel the groove - fell it
    Do what ya want but ya know ya got to be cool and boogie
    Out on the floor, go down
    Bring it low

    Close to the ground
    Everybody just rock it, don't stop it, gotta rock it
    Don't stop
    Keep tickin' and tockin'
    Work it all around the clock
    Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
