[Chorus]
Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dance floor or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight, we do it big and shine like stars
And we don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, we are the—
We are the crazy people

[Verse 1]
I see ya in the club showin' Kesha love
Ain't trippin' on them bitches that be hatin', catch a dub
Chuckin' deuces, y'all hatin's useless
It's such a nuisance
Y'all chickens keep your two cents
And keep your dollars, keep your loot
I'm fresher than that Gucci
Them boys, they want my coochie
I say "No, I'm no hoochie"
Yo homegirl hatin', I say, "Who she?"
Kesha don't give two fucks
I came to start the ruckus
And ya wanna party with us
'Cause we crazy motherfuckas

[Chorus]
Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dance floor or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight, we do it big and shine like stars
And we don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, we are the—
We are the crazy people

[Verse 2]
You see us in the place trippin' off the bass
D-D-DJ, rock a beat, make the fucker shake
Like an earthquake, like an earthquake, booty pop
All my shorties on the dance floor make your heart stop
Stop your cardiac, sippin' Cognac in the back
Th-they ch-chasing my kitty cat
They know my zodiac
I'm no virgin or no Virgo
I'm crazy, that's my word though
It's Kesha in the casa, baby, l-let's make it loco

[Chorus]
Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dance floor or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight, we do it big and shine like stars
And we don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, we are the—

[Bridge]
This is all we got and then it's gone
You call us the crazy ones
But we gon' keep on dancin' 'til the dawn
'Cause you know the party never ends
And tomorrow we gonna do it again
We the ones that play hard, we live hard, we love hard
We light up the dark

[Chorus]
Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancin' on the dance floor or drinkin' by the bar?
Tonight, we do it big and shine like stars
And we don't give a fuck 'cause that's just who we are
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, them crazy, them crazy kids
And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, we are the—
We are the crazy people

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
