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?)
