I challenge you to a dance off

Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk

On the black top, just me, you, that's all

No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots

Right now, dance off

Get on the floor

Get on the, get on the floor, go

Get on the floor, do it

Come on and get on the floor, go

I grab my ankle and pull it up

And do that thing where I move my butt

I got the juice, motherfucker don't use it up

I say woo there it is, then loosen my tux

Then I shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, to the left

Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy, to the right

Gimme, gimme, gimme, everything that you got

Dance off motherfucker, do the damn thing right

She got loose elbows and a big ol' neck

I like a big boned girl who could work up a sweat

I rock shelltoes and a turtleneck

She just wanna talk, I said: I ain't TED

Dance off

Your grandma, that's a bad mama jama

She doing the banana, grabbing my trunk like a hammock

Mmm, she like the funk, god dammit, she can handle it

She tugging my dick, I'm feeling a little bit inadequate

(Dance off)

Your grandpa got a cock like a ham hock

Hella old, hella long, looking like Matlock

Damn dog, I don't even wanna have a standoff

He drunk talkin' 'bout he 'bout to take his pants off

(Dance off)

The hater with the macarena

I can Roger Rabbit in my office space

If you watch my pace looks like I'm concentrated

Or constipated when I walk this way

I challenge you to a dance off

Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk

On the black top, just me, you, that's all

No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots

Right now, dance off (dance off)

Get on the floor

Get on the, get on the floor, go

Get on the floor, do it

Come on and get on the floor, go

Rewind

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

(Dance off)

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

I sneak up behind you like a panther

Who ordered the private dancer?

Can I get an amen from the pastor?

Pulled the ol' do you want a back rub?

You must heard like Grey Poupon

Swag on tap like Savion

Jump on the tablecloth, fake a fall

Pretend to break my arm then I'm breaking you off

But please don't tell my baby’s mama

I wanna dance all night 'til the break of dawn

I wanna sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat 'til your make-up's gone

Baby girl, you looking like a champion

Hey you, you there, get up out of your chair

Paid twenty bucks to get up in this club, put your cellphone down, you square

I be going in, I can't help it, I got bruises on my pelvis

Ladies, fellas, don't drunk dial your ex's

Hello bouncer, I have a job for you

While I'm dancing, watch my shoes

Tonight is the night that we rendezvous

Sweat the fountain of youth, bust a move

Fringe jacket, pants of leather

Tanktop, spandex and pleather

Been a stressful week, I got a lot of pressure

You have a lot of great moves but mine are better

I challenge you to a dance off

Hands off, no trash talk, no back walk

On the black top, just me, you, that's all

No cat calls, no tag teams, no mascots

Right now, dance off (dance off)

Get down the floor

Get down the, get down the floor, go

Get down the floor, do it

Come on and get down the floor, go

Rewind

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

(Dance off)

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

Oh Lord, I can't sit down

Better hold my phone, I'm going for the crown, good God

But I'm confident this is my town

Better hope my feet don't fail me now, good God

I challenge you to a dance off

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

(Dance off)

Go, go, go, go

Go, go, go, go

Rewind

Get on the floor

Get on the, get on the floor, go

(Dance off)

Get on the floor, do it

Come on and get on the floor, go

Rewind
