come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that...
let me tell you one thing now!
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
once upon a time
it happened in Jamaica
fourty years ago
when Carolina was a little girl
sound systems, dance halls
nutty sounds and lucky girls
let’s boogie to the guns of Al Capone
let’s boogie to the guns of Al Capone
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
all this place around
when you hear this nutty sound
Jamaica brought it to the whole wide world
Jamaica brought it to the whole wide world
all this great musicians
created this sound
they played it with soul and with swing
but made it their very own thing
but made it their very own thing
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
ska music came to live
rocksteady through Jamaican nights
we danced along until the morning light
when Carolina was a little girl
you heard this sound all over shanty town
you heard this sound all over shanty town
you heard this sound all over shanty town
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
come on
everybody stand up
let us move your feet
and dance to that beat
