I'll tell you why I wanna dance. It ain' de sweetness in de music~ I like de sweetness in de music, But dat ain' why I wanna dance. It's sumpin' thumpin' in de bass, A bumpin' underneath de music. Dat bum-bum-bumpin' under music Is all I need To start me off. I don't need nuthin' else to start me off. Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, An' I don' need no tune at all! Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, An' I don' need no tune at all! I feel it beatin' in my bones, It feel like twen'y millyun tomtoms. I know dere's twen'y millyun tomtoms Beatin' way down deep inside my bones. I feel it beatin' in my heart, An' den I get a kin' o' dream An' in my dream it kin' o' seem Dere's jus' one heart In all de worl'~ Dere ain't but one big heart for all de worl'. Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Dere's one big heart for all de wor'! Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Beat me dat rhythm on a drum, Dere's one big heart for all de worl'! An' now dat heart is beatin' fast, An' dat's a rhythm I kin dance to, I'm mighty glad I got a chance to, Wid dat one big heart dat's beatin' fast. Tomorrow mornin' let it rain, Tomorrow mornin' let it pour, Tonight we's in de groove together~ Ain' gonna worry 'bout stormy weather~ Gonna kick ol' trouble out de door! Beat out ol' trouble on a drum, Beat out ol' trouble on a drum, Beat out ol' trouble on a drum, An' kick his carcass through de door! Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, An' kick ol' trouble out de door! Kick 'im out de door! Kick 'im out de door! Kick 'im out de door!
