[Verse 1]
There's a stampede
And it's comin' after you
You can take it
If you only let your feelings through

[Pre-Chorus]
So DJ, spin the sounds
There ain't no way that you're gonna let us down
Gonna dance, gonna burn this disco out

[Chorus]
Groove all night
Keep the boogie alright
Get that sound
Everybody just get on down

[Verse 2]
Got a hot foot
Better freak across the floor
Join the party
And we'll keep you movin', that's for sure

[Pre-Chorus]
So DJ, spin the sounds
There ain't no way that you're gonna sit us down
Gonna dance 'til we burn this disco out

[Chorus]
Groove all night
Keep the boogie alright
Get that sound
Everybody just get on down

[Bridge]
Once you get the beat inside your feet
There ain't no way to stop, you movin' good
Now the weekend's come, it's time for fun
You got to groove just like you know you should
People now

[Verse 3]
Are you ready
Won't you rock across the room
Got a feelin'
That we're gonna raise the roof off soon

[Pre-Chorus]
So DJ, spin the sounds
There ain't no way that you're gonna sit us down
Gonna dance 'til we burn this disco out

[Chorus]
Groove all night
Keep the boogie alright (Groove on)
Get that sound
Everybody just get on down
Groove all night (Groove on)

[Pre-Chorus]
So DJ, spin the sounds
There ain't no way that you're gonna sit us down
Gonna dance 'til we burn this disco out

[Chorus]
Groove all night (Groove on)
Keep the boogie alright
Gonna dance, gonna shout 'til we burn this disco out
(Groove on)
Get that sound
Everybody get down tonight (Get down)
Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out
Groove all night
Keep the boogie alright
Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out
Get that sound
Everybody get down tonight
Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out
Groove all night
Keep the boogie alright
Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out
Get that sound
Everybody get down tonight
Gonna dance, gonna shout, gonna burn this disco out

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
