Do your dance... do your dance... [F] do your dance quick
[Eb] Mama... come on [F] baby, tell me [G] what's the word

[Verse 3]
Now all you [G] sucker DJs who [F] think you're fly
There's [Eb] got to be a [F] reason and we [G] know the reason why
You try to [G] put on those airs and [F] act real cool
But you [Eb] got to rea[F]lise that you're [G] acting like fools
[Verse 4]
If there's [G] music we can use it, we’re [F] free to dance
[Eb] We don't have the [F] time for psycho[G]logical romance
No romance, no romance, [F] no romance for me,
