[Intro]
Get up, baby, it's time to boogie
I like groovin', I like movin'
I got ants in my pants and I need to dance, ow!

[Chorus]
I've got that boogie fever, dance with me
I've got that boogie fever, dance with me

[Verse 1]
Come on, let's boogie across the floor
Let's get the vibe, and good spirits flow
A good dose of fun will change your attitude
So don't compromise, energize

[Bridge]
Dance, oh, huh! Dance
Everybody on the floor
Dance, dance, oh

[Chorus]
I've got that boogie fever, dance with me, ooh!
I've got that boogie fever, dance with me, mhm

[Verse 2]
I'm seekin' my satisfaction
To free my very soul
Dancin' gives me pleasure
Fun is my goal

[Bridge]
Dance, dance
Everybody on the floor
Dance, oh, dance, ooh!

[Verse 3]
Oh, raise up, baby, heh...
D'you wanna get a piece of the rock?
Let's boogie, let's boogie
Let's move across the floor, haha...
Let's groove, let's move
Let everybody know, ow!

[Chorus]
I've got that boogie fever, dance with me, mhm
I've got that boogie fever, dance with me

[Bridge]
Get on up now and dance
Get on up now and dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
Party hearty, and dance

[Verse 2]
Seekin' my satisfaction
Free my very soul
Dancin' gives me pleasure
Fun is my goal

[Bridge]
Dance, oh, dance with me, dance
Everybody get on the floor
(Dance, dance with me, dance) party hearty, dance

[Verse 2]
(Dance) seekin' my satisfaction (dance with me)
(Dance) free my very soul
(Dance) dancin' gives me pleasure (dance with me)
(Dance) fun is my goal
(Dance) dance

[Outro]
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance with me, dance
Dance, dance with me, dance
Dance, dance with me, dance
Dance, dance with me, dance
Dance, dance with me, dance
