Be-bop-a-liddely-bop-bow
Be-bop-a-liddely-bop-bow
Be-bop-a-liddely-bop-bow
Habada, habada, habada
I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop
I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop
I wanna ride on the rhythm
And groove to that nasty funky beat
And when it comes, I go crazy
I'm gonna make you get on up and move your feet
'Cause when the rhythm's right
It'll make you move all night
It's gonna keep you coming back for more
And when the beat is strong
You'll party all night long
You'll party 'til you can't take anymore
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
I don't ever want to stop
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
'Cause it feels so good to me
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
I don't ever wanna stop, no
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
'Cause it feels so good to me (Ride)
The L-A-Z-Y, step into the breakdown
About ready for the rhythmic bassline
The remedy to put your butt in motion
Smooth your body just like lotion
Move your shoulders, shake that neck, huh
Lose control, well, what do you expect?
To just sit on your behind? Nah
¿Solo sentarte ahí? Nah
We're going forward, it ain't no rewind
Vamos hacia adelante, no hay marcha atrás
'Cause some people think the rhythm is hype
Porque algunos piensan que el ritmo es genial
Some people say that it just gets tight
Algunos dicen que se pone cada vez más tenso
Some give it up 'cause they can't resist
Algunos se rinden porque no pueden resistir
And some give it two snaps, a twist with a kiss
Y algunos dan dos chasquidos, un giro con un beso
Yo, that's alright, whatever you like
Yo, está bien, lo que sea que te guste
Whatever you want, whatever you do, cool
Lo que sea que quieras, lo que sea que hagas, cool
Just get ready to do it, don't hide
Solo prepárate para hacerlo, no te escondas
Pump the rhythm, get ready to ride
Bomba el ritmo, prepárate para montar
Get ready to ride
Get ready to ride
Get ready to ride
Get ready to ride
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
Get ready to ride
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
Get ready to ride
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
Get ready to ride
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
Get ready to ride (Ride)
Get ready to ride (Ride)
Get ready to ride
(Ride on the rhythm, ride on the rhythm)
(Ride on the rhythm, ride)
I'm gonna dance to the music
'Cause the music takes me where I wanna be
I wanna get down when I use it
'Cause I know the boogie makes me feel so free
'Cause when the rhythm's right
It'll make you move all night
It's gonna keep you coming back for more
(Coming back for more)
And when the beat is strong
You'll party all night long
You'll party 'til you can't take anymore
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
I don't ever want to stop
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
'Cause it feels so good to me
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
I don't ever wanna stop, no
(I wanna ride on the rhythm and I never wanna stop)
'Cause it feels so good to me (Ride)
So good
Feels so good to me (Ride)
So good, yeah, yeah
(Ride on the rhythm, ride on the rhythm)
(Ride on the rhythm, ride)
(Ride on the rhythm, ride on the rhythm)
(Sigue el ritmo, sigue el ritmo)
(Ride)
(Sigue)
