The Block Party (Dallas Austin Remix)

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shake it down now
This is the remix
One time
Two times
Shake it down now

[Verse 1]
Remember way back in the day
Hey! Hey!
When the kids from around the way
Used to come out and play
And the double dutch bus had you bumpin' on down the street
Tryin' to move your feet
While you shake your little booty to the groovin' beat
To the beat, to the beat-beat
You hit the corner and you stopped
Hey y'all there's a party on the other block
We hit the jackpot, jackpot
What?! What?!
And it's only twelve o'clock
And the sun is hot, free soda pop
We 'bout to rock rock rock rock…

[Pre-Chorus: Little Girl]
What's your name?
Lisa
And where you from?
Ninth street
Where you going?
To the party!
Can I come?
Uh-huh
Ooh they playin’ hop scotch

Yeah yeah
Come on and bop with me

[Chorus]
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music bumping and we’re jumping
And they’re playing our favorite song

We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long (What? What?)
Music bumping and we’re jumping (Yeah, yeah)
And they’re playing our favorite song

[Bridge]
I'm a big city girl from all over the world
And I do what I wanna do
Right foot, left shoe
Then you take it on down
Then you shake it around
Bring it up, clap your hands
Then you turn it all around

[Chorus]
We were dancing all night long
We were dancing all night long
Music bumping and we’re jumping
And they’re playing our favorite song

[Verse 2]
Remember when we did the wop, ha-ha
And you used to make that head bop
Like it would never stop
And them other grown folks gettin' busy with the jigolo
Drinkin' Michelob
It was 6am ‘fore they hit the road (uh)
Hit the road hit the road (road)
Them fat gold chains and high top fades (hey)
Run DMC was all you ever played (yeah)
Shell toe Adidas
No strings (mmm mmmm)
Somethin’ cookin’ in the pot
About to hit the spot
Boom box, baby play me some of that hip-hop, hip hop
Hip hop hip hop hip hop…..

[Pre-Chorus: Man]
What's your name?
Lisa
And where you from?
Ninth street
Where you going?
To the party!
Can I come?
Uh-huh
Ooohhh….they ’bout to get it on

Wha what
Come on and bop with me

[Chorus]
We were dancing all night long (Come on, hop with me)
We were dancing all night long (Come on!)
Music bumping and we’re jumping
And they’re playing our favorite song (Come on!)

We were dancing all night long (Come on, hop with me)
We were dancing all night long (Come on!)
Music bumping and we’re jumping
And they’re playing our favorite song

[Bridge]
I'm a big city girl from all over the world
And I do what I wanna do
Right foot, left shoe
Then you take it on down
Then you shake it around
Bring it up, clap your hands
Then you turn it all around

This is the remix (And I do)
One time (Left shoe)

[Verse 3]
Remember way back in the day (hey hey)
Gettin’ all cuddled up in the backseat
Mama said ‘Buckle up!’, packed deep
On the way to Six Flags, happy
Countin’ all the red cars and the black Jeeps
Ooh wee can we go to Mickey Dee’s?
We was actin’ fool through the drive through
I was just in high school
With a dream of Atlanta
Had a mic in my hand
Spit like fastest green eggs and ham
Sam I am, do you understand? (wha wha?)
Do you really understand? (wha wha wha what)
No matter what the circumstance
I just wanna make you dance dance dance
I just wanna make you dance (dance dance)

[Chorus]
We were dancing all night long (Come on, hop with me)
We were dancing all night long (Come on!)
Music bumping and we’re jumping
And they’re playing our favorite song (Come on!)

We were dancing all night long (Come on, hop with me)
We were dancing all night long (Come on!)
Music bumping and we’re jumping
And they’re playing our favorite song (Come on!)

We were dancing all night long (Lisa)
We were dancing all night long (Ninth street)
Music bumping and we’re jumping (To the party)
And they’re playing our favorite song (Uh huh)

We were dancing all night long (Lisa)
We were dancing all night long (Ninth street)
Music bumping and we’re jumping (To the party)
And they’re playing our favorite song (Uh huh)
