I'll tell you why I wanna dance
It ain't the sweetness in the music
I like the sweetness in the music
It's thumpin', thumpin' in the bass
A -thumpin' underneath the music
That thump -thump -thumpin'
Is all I need to start me off
I don't need nothing else to start me off
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
Beat out that rhythm on a drum
And I don't need no tune at all
I feel it beatin' in my bones
It feel like twenty million tom -toms
Beatin' way down deep inside
I feel it beatin' in my heart
And then I get a kind of dream,
and in that dream it kind of seem,
There's just one part for all the world.
There ain't but one big part
Beat out that rhythm on a drum,
beat out that rhythm on a drum,
Beat out that rhythm on a drum,
there's just one part for all the world.
Beat up that rhythm on a drum,
beat up that rhythm on a drum,
beat up that rhythm on a drum,
there's just one heart for the world.
And now that heart is beating fast,
and that's the rhythm I can dance to,
I'm mighty glad I got a chance to,
with one big heart that's beating
Tomorrow mornin' let it rain,
tomorrow mornin' let it pour.
Tonight we's in the groove together,
Gonna kick all trouble out the door.
Beat out all trouble on a drum,
beat out all trouble on a drum,
beat out all trouble on a drum,
and kick all trouble out the door.
Feed our old trouble on a drum
And kick his cockus out the door
