Yeah, turn it up
Yeah, turn it up
Yeah, turn it up...
T-turn it up, t-turn it up
T-turn it up, t-turn it up
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance no more
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance no more

[Verse 1]
It's the swing time
To bring forth the rhyme
That's designed to put you
In a hip-hop state of mind
Intro, I'll disperse the verse
That'll make you move
To a C and C groove
True indeed
Some believe the brothers
Can you swing it hard core
Strictly for the dance floor
Not the stereo type
Get the crowd hype
It's 1992
And hard core is the type
And a rum-a-num-a-num
Take a seat as I take my stand
And fasten your seat belt
Cause I'm about to crash land
Into a dope rhyme
Not the type of style
That I be flexing on a regular
Kicks the rap amplified
Category executor
Mentally, physically
Lyrically, it's gotta be
Stunning, I'll make you move
So what you wanna do is

[Chorus]
Hip-hop non-stop
(Keep it coming)
Take it the the top
(Keep it coming) on and on
(Keep it coming)
Keep it going til the break of dawn
(Go, go, go)
Hip-hop non-stop
(Keep it coming)
Pump it up
(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming) on and on
(Keep it coming)
Keep it going til the break of dawn
(Go, go, go)

[Verse 2]
Feel the fury of a one of a kind
Any rhyme I say, A-okay
That was a dope rhyme (bam)
Change the pace of the flow
Yo, be smooth is the rhythm
This is what you get
This is what I'm giving up, down
Get down to the funky sound
(Here come the funky now) yo
Rhyming off beat is too unique
Snatching up your girlfriend
Cause I dip her sweet soul
Shake, shake, shake
Your groove thing
As I pick up the mike
And make the crowd swing
Well, waddaya know
Kids want total control
Hey, yo, leggo my Eggo

[Chorus]
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance no more
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you just can't dance
Keep it coming
Keep it coming, y'all
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance no more
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you just can't dance
Hip-hop non-stop (keep it coming)
Take it the the top
(Keep it coming) on and on
(Keep it coming)
Keep it going til the break of dawn
(Go, go, go)
Hip-hop non-stop
(Keep it coming)
Pump it up
(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming) on and on
(Keep it coming)
Keep it going til the break of dawn
(Go, go, go)

[Verse 3]
? slam, in case you didn't
See me, here I am
Trash it, industry
Nothing like a jackal
? I have my tackle
A snap, a crackle, a pop
Cause the note
You know it's mine
Rate, rate, overweight
Come back another day, nuff said
Here I go, here I go, here I go
Grab me up, I'm gonna flow
I'm gonna flow
Do you need me for the beat
Like a float with no delaying
Rocking the microphone
From the P.M. til the A.M
Libbitty-dibbitty-dee
Did you catch what I was saying
Me neither, I just wanted
To catch a quick breather

[Chorus]
Well, closing, kaput
Completed, finito
I'm coming so, yo
Keep it coming
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance no more
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you just can't dance
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance no more
Keep it coming (keep it coming)
Keep it coming, y'all (keep it coming)
Dance til you just can't dance
Hip-hop non-stop
(Keep it coming)
Take it the the top
(Keep it coming) on and on
(Keep it coming)
Keep it going til the break of dawn
(Go, go, go)
Hip-hop non-stop
(Keep it coming)
Pump it up
(Keep it coming)
(Keep it coming) on and on
(Keep it coming)
Keep it going til the break of dawn
(Go, go, go)
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance no more
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance no more
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance
Dance til you can't dance
Til you can't dance...
Dance til you can't dance no more

David Cole and Robert Civilles met while both working at a New York underground club. Before forming C & C Music Factory, they were primarily remixers, co-writers, producers and artist managers – having worked with Mariah Carey, Chaka Khan, Fleetwood Mac, Grace Jones, Seduction and others.

Cole & Civilles decided to launch their own music project with an ever-changing cast of vocalists. When an artist they were managing turned down the song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”, the duo decided to use it as their first single. They recruited a janitor from Quad Recording Studio who was learning to become an assistant engineer named Freedom Williams to perform the raps, and hired ex-Weather Girls singer Martha Wash for the female vocals – but credited them to Zelma Davis. Davis also appeared in the song’s video. Wash later sued for being uncredited in the song and its video.

The song became an international smash, reaching the top 5 in nine countries (taking the top position in five of them). Their debut album was released a month after the single and it reached #2 in the US, #8 in the UK and the top 30 in six other countries.
