Lyrics
[Intro — Male]
Everybody ready?
(Female) Ready!
(Both) Then move!
[Verse 1 — Male]
The drums roll in and the floor wakes up
The bassline pours like a full sweet cup
You came to watch, but your feet say no
Now you’re in the middle with the whole front row
[Pre-Chorus — Female]
Hands in the air, let your shoulders loose
Catch that rhythm, there’s no excuse
One little turn and the whole place knows
When this beat comes round, everybody goes
[Chorus — Both]
Nobody sits this one out
Let the whole room answer out loud
Step to the left, bring it back around
Feel that beat shaking the ground
Nobody sits this one out
Clap your hands, let the joy come out
From the front to the back, let the good time flow
When the drums say move, everybody goes
[Post-Chorus — Call and Response]
(Male) Who’s got the rhythm?
(Female) We’ve got the rhythm!
(Male) Who’s bringing the joy?
(Female) We bring the joy!
(Both) Hey! Hey! Everybody goes!
[Verse 2 — Female]
Auntie’s laughing by the open door
Little ones dancing across the floor
The guitar skips and the shakers shine
Every step lands right on time
[Pre-Chorus — Male]
Hands in the air, let your shoulders loose
Catch that rhythm, there’s no excuse
One little turn and the whole place knows
When this beat comes round, everybody goes
[Chorus — Both]
Nobody sits this one out
Let the whole room answer out loud
Step to the left, bring it back around
Feel that beat shaking the ground
Nobody sits this one out
Clap your hands, let the joy come out
From the front to the back, let the good time flow
When the drums say move, everybody goes
[Bridge — Chant]
(Both) Clap once — hey!
Clap twice — hey!
Turn around and catch the light
One more step — hey!
One more time — hey!
Let the drums lead the night
[Final Chorus — Both]
Nobody sits this one out
Let the whole room answer out loud
Step to the left, bring it back around
Feel that beat shaking the ground
Nobody sits this one out
Clap your hands, let the joy come out
From the front to the back, let the good time flow
When the drums say move, everybody goes
[Outro]
(Male) Everybody ready?
(Female) Ready!
(Both) Nobody sits this one out!
Everybody ready?
(Female) Ready!
(Both) Then move!
[Verse 1 — Male]
The drums roll in and the floor wakes up
The bassline pours like a full sweet cup
You came to watch, but your feet say no
Now you’re in the middle with the whole front row
[Pre-Chorus — Female]
Hands in the air, let your shoulders loose
Catch that rhythm, there’s no excuse
One little turn and the whole place knows
When this beat comes round, everybody goes
[Chorus — Both]
Nobody sits this one out
Let the whole room answer out loud
Step to the left, bring it back around
Feel that beat shaking the ground
Nobody sits this one out
Clap your hands, let the joy come out
From the front to the back, let the good time flow
When the drums say move, everybody goes
[Post-Chorus — Call and Response]
(Male) Who’s got the rhythm?
(Female) We’ve got the rhythm!
(Male) Who’s bringing the joy?
(Female) We bring the joy!

Feel that beat shaking the ground
Nobody sits this one out
Clap your hands, let the joy come out
From the front to the back, let the good time flow
When the drums say move, everybody goes
[Outro]
(Male) Everybody ready?
(Female) Ready!
(Both) Nobody sits this one out!
