Written by Michael Jackson and Louis Johnson (the bassist for The Brothers Johnson), “Get on the Floor” shows Michael Jackson attempting to woo someone onto the dance floor in a club. This could possibly be one of those songs about sex in disguise, as was common in this age.
[Intro]
Ah, get on the floor and dance
Ah, on the floor and dance
[Chorus]
So get on the floor
And dance with me (Dance with me)
I love the way you shake your thing
Especially (Especially)
[Verse 1]
There's a chance for dancin'
All night long
There's a chance for groovin'
And it will be soothin'
With a song
[Pre-Chorus]
Then why don't you just dance across the floor?
'Cause there's a chance for chances
And the chance is choosin'
And I sure would like just to groove with you

So get on the floor (Get on the floor, and)
And dance with me
I love the way you shake your thing (On the floor, and)
Especially
So get on the floor (Get on the floor, and)
And dance with me
I love the way you shake that thing, girl (On the floor, and)
Especially (Hee-hee)
[Verse 2]
No need for rejection
Determined to be
Gonna groove, gonna move you
Gonna say things to you
Just wait and see
[Pre-Chorus]
Then why don't you just dance across the floor?
'Cause there's a chance for choices
And it's you I'm choosing
And I sure would like just to groove with you

So get on the floor (Get on the floor, and)
And dance with me
I love the way you shake your thing (On the floor, and)

So get on the floor (Get on the floor, and)

Get up, won't you go'n get down
Get on the Floor was written by Michael Jackson & Louis Johnson.
Get on the Floor was produced by Quincy Jones & Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson released Get on the Floor on Fri Aug 10 1979.
