A long time ago
People didn't know
That music and dancing was fun
They had such a rhythm
Hand down and given
From old Grandma and Grandpa
They had heard about it
And never forgot it
The rhythm and dance and the beat
There was Deacon John
And he was early to bone
And he would rock all night
And never, never go home
The people was coming
From miles around
To dig the new sound
That they was putting down
Come on, get with it
Come on and quit it
And this is it, yeah
You got to have it
Rock your body
You got to have it
Put the boogie in your feet
When you find out
Put the boogie out your feet
And you move it and you shout it
And you rock it and you beat it
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Hey
You got to have it
Rock your body
You got to have it
Put the boogie in your feet
When you find out
Put the boogie out your feet
And you move it and you shout it
And you rock it and you beat it
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Hey
You got to have it
Rock your body
You got to have it
Put the boogie in your feet
When you find out
Put the boogie out your feet
And you move it and you shout it
And you rock it and you beat it
