  • I know you like that
    You wanna try that
    It's like a flashback
    So shake your ass crack
    I got the balls to
    Rock the salsa
    Funk the blues-a
    Any groove to
    Make you move 'cause
    Taking you to
    Another landscape
    It's my mandate
    I'm highly animated even though I'm decomposing
    So if your feet is frozen I'ma die to see you ropin'

    And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
    I want y'all to just get down
    Now when the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
    I want y'all to just get down
    And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
    I want y'all to just get down
    Now when the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
    I want y'all to just get down

    Tap your toes and clap your hands
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Come on trace the globe and shake your pants
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Just twist your hip and do the dip
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Come on shake and bake do whatever it takes
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)

    Gravitational pull
    I have you making a fool
    Out of yourself on the dance floor
    Doing back spins running man and more
    Party down with Vigga and Candor
    Coming to the jam
    Or look like a landlubber
    And do the aqua boogie
    Win lots of goodies maybe
    Pop a Gucci wallet turntables is talking to me
    It's awfully groovy
    Seeing all the treasure and the booty

    And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
    I want y'all to just get down
    Now when the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
    I want y'all to just get down
    And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
    I want y'all to just get down
    Now when the MC rhymin' and the DJ cuttin'
    I want y'all to just get down

    Tap your toes and clap your hands
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Come on trace the globe and shake your pants
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Just twist your hip and do the dip
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Come on shake and bake do whatever it takes
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)

    I wanna get down lower than Atlantis
    Going toe to toe with an enchantress
    Get funkier than funkadelic wearin' Pampers
    While you eggheads is on the wall preparin' answers
    Sharing transcripts while we over here
    Dipping and dancin'
    Rhythm romancin'
    Wallflowers
    Giving no action no
    All hours we chillin' and max the flow
    Relaxing
    Opposites attracting
    I'ma toss my hat in
    Floss when the track spin
    Like I'm on a crack binge
    Jigging and wiggling
    Freakin' booties speakin' to the cuties so belligerent
    No religion just bump the feed on
    You'll feel reborn
    Negativity we just dead it like decoy
    Better lift your feet and just measure the beat on
    The pulse when it respawns

    Tap your toes and clap your hands
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Come on trace the globe and shake your pants
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Just twist your hip and do the dip
    (How many people ready to rock the house?)
    Come on shake and bake do whatever it takes
    (How many people ready to rock the house?) Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Daniel M. Nakamura, Jamie Christopher Hewlett, John Dankworth, Teren Delvon Jones
