DON'T STOP THE MUSIC TONIGHT!

Jump and Go! me wo sorasuna
Asufaruto wo keriageteke
Haatobiito ga tataku Akuseru de
[Chorus]
DON'T STOP THE MUSIC!
Saigou no Guruuvaa
Kikasete yaru yami ni hibike

[Intro]
DON'T STOP THE MUSIC TONIGHT!
[Verse 1]
Feel it in your body.
Be one with it.
From the steer, from the seat.
The Sound of Music
[Pre-Chorus]
Jump and Go! Don't look away.
Kick up the asphalt.
Heartbeat hits the gas pedal.
[Chorus]
DON'T STOP THE MUSIC!
The best groover
I'm gonna play it for you, echoing in the dark
That's right DON'T STOP THE MUSIC TONIGHT!
DON'T STOP THE MUSIC!
Fighter Groover
Tight rope, don't look back
Hurry, DON'T STOP THE MUSIC TONIGHT!
[Verse 2]
Only I can lead the way.
Only someone can lead me.
But one day, I'll get over it.
The way I do it.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Jump and Go! Like a catapult
Soar into the night sky
With the acceleration of the backfire
[Chorus 2]
DON'T STOP THE MUSIC!
The Greatest Groover
They're only about power
Gotta go, DON'T STOP THE MUSIC TONIGHT!
DON'T STOP THE MUSIC!
Fighter Groover
My whole body's screaming
Yeah, DON'T STOP THE MUSIC TONIGHT!
[Verse 3]
I'll tell you one thing.
I'm your opponent
You're the one who
Won't fight to the limit
