Check your body down, make
Yo butt go round. Let me see you walk,?
Shut your body down, let me
Hear it go round go go go
Check your body down, make
That butt go round. Let me see you walk,?
You, everybody, get ready to move
Go go go go go go go go
Awh yeah
Ev'body, ev'body
C'mon, list'n
We know what you're been
Thinking nude is the brand new young
Everybody's just drinking inhibitions just gone
You don't need to be rude
You don't need to be wild
Whatever you do:
Don't compromise and done with style
The gold standard crazy amazing
Upper echelon of groove
The gold standard crazy amazing
Turn it up let you body move
