Written and Composed by Michael Jackson and Louis Johnson.

Ah, on the floor and dance
Ah, on the floor and dance
So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake your thing
Especially

There's a chance for dancin'
All night long
There's a chance for groovin'
And it will be soothing
With a song

Then why don't you just dance across the floor
'Cause there's a chance for chances
And the chance is choosin'
And I sure would like just to groove with you

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake your thing
Especially

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake that thing, girl
Especially

No need for rejection
Determined to be
Gonna groove gonna move ya
Gonna say things to ya
Just wait and see

Then why don't you just dance across the floor
'Cause there's a chance for choices
And it's you I'm choosin'
And I sure would like just to groove with you

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake your thing
Especially

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake your thing, girl
Especially

Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
Won't you g'on get down, won't you g'on get down
Won't you g'on get down

Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
Won't you g'on get down, won't you g'on get down

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake that thing, girl
Especially

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I love the way you shake that thing, girl
Especially

Get up won't you g'on down
Shake your body won't you g'on get down
