Lyrics
The Hustle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look here's a dance
So old it's new
'Cause trash disco is seventies cool
Like country line dance, to some it's fine
Sadly though, you gotta lose your mind
Get organized, discipline is fun
I want to encourage everyone
To coordinate your steps and clap
Avoid the individuality trap
Take a walk on the wild side
And the African-American women sing
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Express yourself
Is a wonderful thought
But right here, right now, please do not!
Specific moves fit the grooves
You got nothing more to prove
Coordinate your steps and clap
Avoid the individuality trap
Take a walk on the wild side
And the African-American women sing
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Do the Hustle!
Hey!
Do it!
Everybody!
Everybody!
Hey!
Do the Hustle!
All the boys and all the girls
Doin' the Hustle
Do the Hustle
Everybody
Get up!
It's fun!
It's free!
