Flash Light Lyrics
Now, I lay me down to sleep
Ooh, I just can't find a beat
Flash light
(Oh, I will never dance!)
Flash light
Flash light
Flash light
Pararadirarararararara
Oh, it's no use
Flash light
Red light
Neon light
Ooh, stop light
Now I lay me down to sleep
I guess I'll go count the sheep
Oh, 'cause I will never dance
Oh, don't make me do it
Dance, sucker! Ooh ha ha
Ow! Get him
Most of all he needs the funk
(Shine it)
Help him find the funk
(Ha, funk it)
Most of all he needs the funk
Help him find the funk
Most of all he needs the funk
Help him find the funk
(get him)
Most of all he needs the funk
(I know we can get him)
Help him find the funk
(ho)
Most of all he needs the funk
(ha, don't)
Help him find the funk
(I know you will! Dance, sucker)
Most of all he needs the funk
(Shine the spotlight on him)
Help him find the funk
(Oh funk me)
Pararadirarararararara

Dance, Nose! You know you on my funk street?
Oh, funk me
Get on down, Nose! I like it! Dance, then
