Do you wanna have a party {Yeah, yeah}
Do you wanna have a party {Yeah, yeah}
Do you wanna have a party {Yeah, yeah}
Then get down, get down, hit it

Dance
Shake your pants
Dance
Shake your pants

We want you to have a funky party
But make sure that you don’t hurt nobody
Now ladies, if you want to dance
Then the Mob fellas want to see you work your pants
And they’ll say

(Ooh, baby, I want to see you dance) You want to what
(Ooh, lady, I want to touch your pants)
(Ooh, baby, I want to see you dance) You want to what
(Sexy lady, I want to touch your pants)

As we said before, we like to work our bodies
But to make sure that we don’t hurt nobody
All the ladies in the world if you want to dance
Now you’ve got your chance, so shake-shake your pants
To all the fellas that like the sexy ladies
Why don’t you look at them and say
Work it, baby

(Ooh, baby, I want to see you dance) You want to what
(Ooh, lady, I’d like to touch your pants)
(Ooh, baby, I want to see you dance)
(Sexy lady, let me do that again)

"Work it, baby," that’s what you told us to do
We have a question and it is just for you
Why should we let you touch our pants
(Ooh, baby, I just want to see you dance)
Oh, now, you know it’s plain to see
What we can do for you if you can get funky
(Everybody, the party’s here to stay)
(So listen to me when I say get funky)

Dance
(Oh)

(Ooh, work it, baby) Dance
(Ooh, work it, baby) Dance
(Ooh, work it, baby) Dance
(Ooh, work it, baby)

We want you to have a funky party
But to make sure that we don’t hurt nobody
Now ladies, if you want to dance
Then the Mob fellas want to see you work your pants
And they’ll say

(Ooh, baby, I want to see you dance)
As we said before, we like to work our bodies
But to make sure that we don’t hurt nobody
(Ooh, let me touch your body, girl)
(I love, I love you, I love you, I love you, yeah)

Work that body, work that body
Make sure you don’t hurt nobody
