Lyrics

The World Wants to Dance

Let's give it a chance
The world wants to dance
Let's give it a chance
The world wants to dance

This is the fact, play the music, Mr. DJ
Work out a sweat, keep it jammin', rockin' on the way
Out in the street, to the border, to the limit

Jump to the beat, let's party, turn up the music
The world wants to dance
The world wants to dance, ohh
Let's give it a chance (give it a chance)
The world wants to dance

I want you to know
Put the word out in the city
Swing high, swing low, celebration everybody
Out on the street
To the border, to the limit
Jump to the beat, let's party, turn up the music

The world wants to dance
The world wants to dance
Let's give it a chance
The world wants to dance, oh

This is the fact, play the music, Mr. DJ
And work out a sweat, keep it jammin', all the way, yeah
The world wants to dance

The world wants to dance
Let's give it a chance
The world wants to dance
Turn up the music

The world wants to dance, oh
The world wants to dance, Mr. DJ
Let's give it a chance, Mr. DJ (oh)
The world wants to dance (ohh)

The world wants to dance
Your world wants to dance (your world, my world, our world, your world)
Let's give it a chance
The world wants to dance
Turn up the music

The world wants to dance (oh, the music)
The world wants to dance (Mr. DJ)
Let's give it a chance (Mr. DJ0
The world wants to dance
The world wants to dance (oh)
The world wants to dance (oh)
Let's give it a chance
