You gotta know it
It's ELECTRIC
Boogie woogie, woogie!
Now you can't hold it
It's ELECTRIC
Boogie woogie, woogie!
But you know it's there,
Yeah here there everywhere
 
I've got to move,
I'm going on a party ride
I've got to groove, groove, groove,
And from this music I just can't hide.
 
Are you comin' with me?
Come let me take you on a party ride
And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you
I'll teach you the ELECTRIC slide
