Only thing I need is DJ to play my jam
Everybody get up and get down, get down
C'mon now, everybody, everybody get up, get up
Everybody get up
Get down

I see you, girl, looking good, what you doing over there?
Get with me, I’m living life and living without a care
And if you come dance with me, I can change your life
'Cause I'm living good like I should, let me tell you what it’s like

To be having fancy cars
Oh, we be mingling with the stars
Yeah, and you'll be buying out the bar
You know it, yeah, you know who we are

Feeling a little loose
Now I got a drink up in my hand
Only thing I need is DJ to play my jam

So the DJ started changing up the beat
I was moving, I could feel it in my feet
And the girl, she grabbed me by the hand

She whispered in my ear and said
"All I want to do is dance"
She asked me, "Do you, do you like the way I
Leave it on the dance floor?"

I said, "Leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl"
I said, "Leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl"

She asked me, "Do you, do you like the way I
Leave it on the dance floor?"
I said, "Leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl"
I said, "Leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl"

I see you, girl, looking good, what you doing over there?
Get with me, I'm living life and living without a care
And if you come dance with me, I can change your life
'Cause I'm living good like I should, let me tell you what it's like

You'll be having fancy cars
Oh, we'll be mingling with the stars
Yeah, and you’ll be buying out the bar
You know it, yeah, you know who we are
So the DJ started changing up the beat
I was moving, I could feel it in my feet
And the girl, she grabbed me by the hand
She whispered in my ear and said
"All I want to do is dance"

She asked me, "Do you (Do you like?)
Do you like the way I (Aw, go on, girl)
I leave it on the dance floor?"

Oh, I said, "Leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl"
Oh, say, leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl

Oh, she asked me
"Do you, do you like the way I (Do I like the way you leave it on?)
I leave it on the dance floor?"

Oh, I said, "Leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl"
Ooh, say, leave it, girl
Go on, leave it, go on, leave it, go on, leave it, girl

Tell me, do you have a man who really, really treats you good?

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
