[Intro: Jermaine Dupri & Slick Rick]
This is the point when I need everybody get to the dance floor
It's like that, y'all (That, y'all), that, y'all (That, y'all)
Da, da, da, da, I like that, y'all (That, y'all)
It's like that, y'all (That, y'all), that, y'all (That, y'all)
Like that, that, that, that, I like that, y'all (That, y'all)

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
I came to have a party
Open off that Bacardi
Feeling so hot tamale
Boy, I know you watchin' me
So what's it gonna to be? (Yeah)
Purple taking me higher
I'm lifted and I like it
Boy, you got me inspired
Baby, come and get it if you're really feelin' me

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey, Jermaine Dupri & Fatman Scoop]
'Cause it's my night (Yeah)
No stress, no fights
I'm leavin' it all behind
No tears, no time to cry
Just making the most of life (Ohh!)

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Everybody is livin' it up (Uh-huh)
All the fellas keep lookin' at us
'Cause me and my girls on the floor like what (What?)
While the DJ keeps on spinnin' the cut
It's like that y'all (That y'all!), That y'all (That y'all!)
It's like tha-a-a that, a like that y'all (That y'all!)
It's like that y'all (That y'all!), That y'all (That y'all!)
It's like tha-a-a that, a like that y'all (That y'all!)
Oh-oh

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
You like this and you know it
Caution, it's so explosive (Uh-huh)
Them chickens is ash and I'm lotion
Baby, come and get it
Let me give you what you need (Haha)
It's a special occasion
Mimi's emancipation (Uh-huh)
A cause for celebration
I ain't gonna let nobody's drama bother me

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey & Fatman Scoop]
'Cause it's my night (My night)
No stress, no fights
I'm leavin' it all behind
No tears, no time to cry (No tears)
Just making the most of life (Ohh!)

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Everybody is livin' it up (Come On!)
All the fellas keep lookin' at us
'Cause me and my girls on the floor like what (What?)
While the DJ keeps on spinnin' the cut
It's like that y'all (That y'all!), That y'all (That y'all!)
It's like tha-a-a that, a like that y'all (That y'all!)
It's like that y'all (That y'all!), That y'all (That y'all!)
