[Refrain]
I feel like bumpin' to some old school
I feel like dancin' all night with you
I feel like bumpin' to some old school
I feel like dancin' all night with you

[Chorus]
Time to set it off, we can bump, bump all night
Wanna get my freak on, DJ keep the party hype
Do the wop, don't you stop, or just smurf it left to right
We could bounce, skate and rock play that old school I like

[Verse 1]
Okay, here we go take it back, let's get it funky
I'm a R&B junkie, you know it babe
Groove me, on the floor like that music is bumpin'
Ride it get all up on it baby, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, tell me, can you keep it up?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, till they kick us out the club
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, lookin' like you're havin' fun
You know how we do it's old school love, yeah baby

[Chorus]
Time to set it off, we can bump, bump all night
Wanna get my freak on, DJ keep the party hype
Do the wop, don't you stop, or just smurf it left to right
We could bounce, skate and rock play that old school I like

[Verse 2]
Ooh babe, remember that was the jam
DJ is scratchin', I'm cabbage patchin', don't stop just get it, get it
Front, back, side to side when you slide, so electric
Love how you wreck it, yeah yeah yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, tell me, can you keep it up?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, till they kick us out the club boy
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, lookin' like you're havin' fun
You know how we do it's old school love yeah

[Chorus]
Time to set it off, we can bump, bump all night
Wanna get my freak on, DJ keep the party hype
Do the wop, don't you stop, or just smurf it left to right
We could bounce, skate and rock play that old school I like

[Refrain]
I feel like bumpin' to some old school
I feel like bumpin' to some old school
I feel like bumpin' to some old school
I feel like dancin', it's time to set it off

[Chorus]
Time to set it off, we can bump, bump all night
Wanna get my freak on, DJ keep the party hype
Do the wop, don't you stop, or just smurf it left to right
We could bounce, skate and rock play that old school I like

[Outro]
Can we slow it down?
I just wanna dance with my baby

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
