Party people

Party people

Can y'all get funky?

Soul Sonic Force - can y'll get funky?

The Zulu Nation - can y'll get funky?

Yaaah!

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

Yaaah!

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-B-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

Gotta rock it, don't stop (repeats)
