I was dancing with a dirty blond Texan
I was dancing with a dirty blond Texan
Charming accent but the music's playing too loud for talking
Charming accent but the music's playing too loud for talking
So I showed him how people in the Far East get down
So I showed him how people in the Far East get down
Push it up, push it down
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
Now put me down
...what a workout!
...what a workout!
If you want, you can come
If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
Come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
Five ripples running up and down my spine
6.0 Make it sweet, drop another dime
6.0 Make it sweet, drop another dime
I was talking with a born-again Christian
I was talking with a born-again Christian
"So what's it like to start life all over?"
"So what's it like to start life all over?"
He said "Amen,
He said "Amen,
I feel like I've been rediscovering the tomb Tutankhamen."
I feel like I've been rediscovering the tomb Tutankhamen."
Push it up, push it down
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Baby don't put me down
Baby don't put me down
...what a workout!
...what a workout!
What you want, it's a done deal
What you want, it's a done deal
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
What you don't, you can forget about it, 'bout it
What you don't, you can forget about it, 'bout it
Up and down, feel your brainwaves jumpin' jumpin'
Up and down, feel your brainwaves jumpin' jumpin'
Make me wanna take a dive
Make me wanna take a dive
As we count to five
As we count to five
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
Five ripples running up and down my spine
Can you hold on someone's calling on the other line
Can you hold on, someone's calling on the other line
Push it up, push it down
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
Now put me down
...what a workout!
...what a workout!
If you want, you can come
If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
Come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
Five ripples running up and down my spine
6.0 Make it sweet, drop another dime
Make it sweet, drop another dime
