[Intro]
Jumping Up The Nations!
(You are being taken under our power to your destination)
[Verse 1]
I wanna know the way somebody dance
And the way they're moving
'Cause everybody dances take a chance
Got to understand
[Pre-chorus]
Washington, Tokyo, Paris and Rome
Are the best for crazy dance (crazy dance!)
And London, Miami, L.A., Monaco
Are the best for groove, sexy cool
[Chorus]
Wake you up, Jumping Up The Nations!
World all over dancing and grooving so
Wake you up, Jumping Up The Nations!
Dance and move I want to know everyone
Wake you up, Jumping Up The Nations!
Take me over, I'll be there moving so
Wake you up, Jumping Up The Nations!
Crazy and cool, I got to go have some fun!
[Verse 2]
I jump the nations as much as I can
On the dance floor
This crazy situation I depend
What I'm looking for?
