[Chorus]
All you ladies, don’t you stay at home
The DJ’s gotten started and he’s going real strong
And all you fellas go and pick up your friends
Because it’s Friday night
And the party’s jumpin’, jumpin’
Girl you gotta take a chance
Get up on your feet and dance
‘Cause the party ain’t gonna stop
So let’s keep it hot, hot

[Verse One: Beyoncé]
Last week you were staying home and feeling lonely
When you should’ve gone out and hung out with your homies
This weekend you’re going out
And if they try to stop you
They’re on the wrong route
So get your hair done and your nails done too
We’re going to the mall to get some shoes
And then you’re strutting in the party, now you know you’re gonna
Dance your feet off with everyone and every other

[Chorus]
Girl you gotta take a chance
Get up on your feet and dance
‘Cause the party ain’t gonna stop
So let’s keep it hot, hot
All you ladies, don’t you stay at home
The DJ’s gotten started and he’s going real strong
And all you fellas go and pick up your friends
Because it’s Friday night
And the party’s jumpin’, jumpin’
Ladies, don’t you stay at home
The DJ’s gotten started and he’s going real strong
And all you fellas go and pick up your friends
Because it’s Friday night
And the party’s jumpin’, jumpin’
Girl you gotta take a chance
Get up on your feet and dance
‘Cause the party ain’t gonna stop
So let’s keep it hot, hot

[Verse Two: Solange]
Call your boys ‘cause tonight you’re not gonna stay at home and
Girls go out with your friend ‘cause you ain’t hanging solo
Gonna go out and make some noise you know you’ve
Got the right to get your party on so get your
Cell phone and some new clothes too
Looking like a star with your new attitude
You need to look your best ‘cause you’re turning heads tonight you’re gonna
Find the best music and boogie if you wanna

[Chorus]
Girl you gotta take a chance
Get up on your feet and dance
‘Cause the party ain’t gonna stop
