Written and Composed by Michael Jackson and Louis Johnson.



Ah, on the floor and dance

Ah, on the floor and dance

So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake your thing

Especially



There's a chance for dancin'

All night long

There's a chance for groovin'

And it will be soothing

With a song



Then why don't you just dance across the floor

'Cause there's a chance for chances

And the chance is choosin'

And I sure would like just to groove with you



So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake your thing

Especially



So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake that thing, girl

Especially



No need for rejection

Determined to be

Gonna groove gonna move ya

Gonna say things to ya

Just wait and see



Then why don't you just dance across the floor

'Cause there's a chance for choices

And it's you I'm choosin'

And I sure would like just to groove with you



So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake your thing

Especially



So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake your thing, girl

Especially



Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down

Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down

Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down

Won't you g'on get down, won't you g'on get down

Won't you g'on get down



Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down

Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down

Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down

Won't you g'on get down, won't you g'on get down



So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake that thing, girl

Especially



So get on the floor

And dance with me

I love the way you shake that thing, girl

Especially



Get up won't you g'on down

Shake your body won't you g'on get down
