Lyrics

We gonna do a song That you never heard before Me and my crew like to play around We like to laugh and joke and have fun while we're throwin' down Born and raised in Philly We go jam to jam to jam actin' silly We got a dance we do at a party That we like to introduce to everybody It ain't the Humpty nor the Lambada More party fun than a damn piรฑata You may have seen it on my TV show Yeah, I know, I dance like a pro 'Cause I get busy and I get loose, G On a dance floor, can't another brother juice me 'Cause I'm smooth and I move loosely With a spin and a kick like Bruce Lee Come on, get on the floor and take a chance Everybody, it's time to dumb dance (Everybody on the dance) (Everybody on the dance) Now what's a dumb dance, you might ask? Well, let me take you to my dumb dance class It's called Dumb Dance 101 It's where we teach smart people how to be dumb Here's the background and here's what's up Back in Philly, where we grew up We used to party all the time Just playin' around and makin' Soul Train lines But this Soul Train line, the concept changed The point of the joint got flipped and rearranged The line turned into a contest, yo To see who could dance the worst, not the best, though So in Philly, the dance caught on fast People started challengin' me to dance So I got busy quick as the music was played up How you gonna beat me at a dance I made up? Now you know that I can throw that Body and mind fine, so I'm about to show that Guy who thinks he can do it a bit better I'm the creator, originator, so go and get a seat Just sit down, so I can demonstrate A dance that's easy to do and you don't have to contemplate A move at all, just take a bit of a chance Everybody, it's time to dumb dance Get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get on down (Rock the house) Get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get on down (Rock the house) Get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get on down (Rock the house) Get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get-get on Down (Everybody in the house, just) (Clap your hands) Come on and say what, just (Clap your hands, everybody) Just (Clap your hands) Come on, everybody, just (Clap your hands, everybody) (You say) Clap your hands (You say) Clap your hands (You say) Clap your hands (You say) Clap your hands (You say) Now we come to the payoff (Uh) Well, there it is, y'all, the dumb dance concept Well, let me break it down for those of y'all who haven't got it yet It's the new craze comin' across America And I really, really, really don't care If you do it with a partner or do it alone If you do it in a club or if you do it at home But if you really can't dance, then here's your chance To go for yours on the dance floor, everybody, dumb dance (What does it all mean?) I don't know (What does it all mean?) I don't know (What does it all mean?) I don't know (What does it all mean?) Huh? What? (What does it all mean?) I don't know (What does it all mean?) I don't know (What does it all mean?) I don't know (Rock the house, y'all) (Now then, let us have some fun) (What-what-what-what-what-what-what-what-what-what y'all got?) (Cha-cha-cha, forward, back, cha-cha-cha, back, forward) (What you gon' play now?) Everybody reach, reach to the top Everybody reach, don't stop, don't stop Everybody reach, reach to the top Don't stop, stop Everybody reach, reach to the top Everybody reach, don't stop, don't stop Everybody reach, reach to the top Don't stop, stop Everybody reach, reach to the top Everybody reach, don't stop, don't stop Everybody reach, reach to the top Don't stop, stop Everybody reach, reach to the top Everybody reach, don't stop, don't stop Everybody reach, reach to the top (You ready?)
