I do the dancin'
You do the hoppin'
You do the boppin'
I do the shakin'
I'm just romancin'
You do the dancin'
I see your sequence
It's looking, smashing
You make the action, action
Happen, happen
Action, action
Happen, happen
I'm finger poppin'
You do the dancin'
You do the shakin'
You're looking right now
You make the action, action
Happen, happen
You make the action
Happen, happen
I'm finger poppin'
You do the hoppin'
I see your sequance
It's looking right there
You do the dancing
I do romancing
You call it hoppin'
There's no stoppin'
You make the action, action
Happen, happen
