Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
Now this is the way we wine and dine
And at the same time, mess with your mind
With the same identical beat one time
As we possess the beat that will make you wanna rock
Taking you on down, to the last stop
We are the funky
Yes we are the fun-
Now here's what good
The DJ's down my law
So are you ready to party
We wanna let you know
We wanna make sure we rock you (You, you, and you!)
Before we let go!
Hey, party people!
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance? (We know that you can do it!)
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
Now party people all around the world
My name is Sha Rock and I'm the number one girl
I'm rapping with the crew called the Funky 4
And if you think I'm bad we got much more
Well now I need a little help from everybody in the crowd
Won't you help me call him out, just scream it out loud
Say Jazzy Jeff (Jazzy Jeff!)
Say Jazzy Jeff (Jazzy Jeff!)
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance? (You know I wanna boogie!)
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance? (We know that you can do it!)
Now party people say you know I'm bad
I'm gonna rock it like you want it and that's a fact
I'm gonna do it like this, do it like that
Takin' troubles off your mind and off your back
I make you boogie to the east, boogie to the west
With the one and only Jazzy Jeff
Cause you know it like a poet I got finesse
Hey! Keith Keith!
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance? (You know I wanna boogie!)
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance? (We know that you can do it!)
I'm the man with the magical touch
And when it comes down to rappin' I'm just too much
Well everybody in the place, put us to the test
We could never go south, we got to stay fresh
Well my name's Keith Keith, you can call me Keith Caesar
(Hey!) The reason why, cause I'm the woman pleaser
Now it ain't no joke, and you know it ain't funny
Everybody in the place (Do you wanna, do you wanna!)
Get funky. with the 4
Whiz Kid, Kid, is down by law (Huh!)
Do you wanna get down, and boogie?
Get funky (Funky!) shake your booty, booty-booty
Get up, and party, party-party
Everybody, let's rock somebody's body, shake your body!
Oooh-oohh-ooh
[Bridge]
We gonna harmonize (And rap!)
Gonna rap and harmonize (Who!)
The Funky 4 (Say what!)
We're out to hypnotize (Hey you!)
If you think you're ready (If you're!)
Ready to get down
Claps your hands (And groove!)
Move to the sound
Get on the floor (And find!)
And find you someone
And you can bet (Bet that!)
You're gonna have some fun
So do you wanna get down (And rock!)
Do you wanna get up and party
Now everybody, it's time to rock somebody!
(Huh!)
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
A-to the hip hop, hip-hip the hop
Ya hip hip ya hop ya rock you don't stop
First you rock the hip, you gotta rock the hop
Then you rock with...Shaaaaa Rock
To all the fellas in the house, that's single and free
Take the time, drop a dime, sure you can could call me
Now I'm looking for a fella that I can't call jive
Doing something for himself, working 9 to 5
But you gotta dress nice, you gotta look fine
To have Sha Rock, you know I'm one of a kind
And if you think it's you, this is what you can do
(You can call her tonight! Call her tonight!)
You can call me tonight when the party is through
Well now I need a little help from everybody in the crowd
Won't you help me scream it out, just sing it out loud
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
C'mon, c'mon sing!
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance? (Sound good!)
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
Do you wanna rock, do you wanna dance?
Do you wanna rock, are you willing to take the chance?
