Lyrics

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Let's get it on don't stop us now
When we step on the scene we came to get down
Check the moves you know they can't be dissed
Ain't too many that can flow like this
We hummin' commin' at ya
And the rhythm is gonna get ya
Need I, should I say no more
Tell me what's the deal, gotta check my flow

Jam jam jam DDR
Yo, everybody feel the beat with DDR
Jam jam jam DDR
Everybody dance let's get down

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Could it be that you wanna be more like me
No shame, I bring pain in the year 2G
Now we gonna turn this party out
Put your hands in the air move 'em all around
Can you feel the beat down in your soul
Don't fight the feeling just let it go
4, 3, 2, 1, let's count it down
Wanna see you move when you hear that sound

Jam jam jam DDR
Yo, everybody feel the beat with DDR
Jam jam jam DDR
Everybody dance let's get down

B-B-B-B4U
Yo, everybody feel the beat with DDR
Jam Jam Jam DDR
Everybody dance let's get down
