The Block Party (Dallas Austin Remix)

Lyrics

[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…..
