[Intro: Carmen Electra]
(Yeah)
Uh, get on up now
Uh, get on up now
(Move)
Move it
(Move)
Move it
(Get on up)
(Get on up)

[Verse 1: Carmen Electra]
Feel the vibe and let's move it
Never losing out the funk that we got
Think that you can hang?
Why don't you just prove it?
Come on and take a chance with me
And why not?
I see one, no, two, no three, four
On the dance floor
Gonna give you more
Of what you want for damn sur
Skip the talk and just dance
And if it's too much then get the lead out your--
Ask me no questions and I'll tell no lies
Crank it up, it just amplifies
I'mma dance, I'mma dance 'til I drop
This the jam, y'all
Get on up

[Refrain: Carmen Electra]
(Get on up)
Get on up now
(Get on up)
Get on up now
(Get on up)
Uh, get on up now
(Get on up)
Yeah, get on up now

[Verse 2: Carmen Electra]
Can I get a witness
With this funk with the quickness?
Microphone swiftness is my business
Checking out the brothers with the funky stride
You don't want to dance, honey drip, step aside
As I move to the left
Can I get a little (funk)?
As I move to the right
Can I get a little (funk)?
Two times in the center as I kick a riddle
My name is Carmen Electra and I ain't in the middle
This kind of funky beat is what I dream
So if you want to get a feel of this cream
Hop 'til you damn near drop
This the jam, y'all, get on up

[Refrain: Carmen Electra]
Uh
Get on up now
Uh
Get on up now
Yeah
Get on up now
Uh, yeah
Get on up now

[Chorus: Prince]
We're gonna dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance

[Verse 3: Carmen Electra]
All aboard, all aboard
'Cause I'm getting funky
As you know, as you know I'm a party junky
Getting live to the rhythm 'cause I want to
Trying to spread it 'cause everybody else ought to
Clap your hand, clap your hands like you really want to
Get the wallflower people all out of the corner
How many times I gotta stop the clock?
'Cause this the jam, y'all, so get on up!

[Chorus: Prince]
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance dance tonight

[Outro: Carmen Electra]
Get on up now
(Get on up)
Get on up
(Get on up)
Get on up
(Get on up)
Get on up
(Get on up)
(Get on up)
(Get on up)
(Get on up)
(Get on up)
(Get on up)
(Get on up)
(Get on up)

Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra is best known as a model and actress, but she briefly had a music career while signed to Prince’s Paisley Park label in the early 90’s as a rapper. Her singles like “Everybody Get On Up” and “Go Go Dancer” were largely ghostwritten by British rapper Monie Love, but her musical foray stands as a great kitsch-item in a long and colorful career.
