Verse 1: Girl:
     E
Hey! Listen now it's coming so close
                    A
I'll let the rhythm surround me
            G#m/D#              B
I'm getting itchy and I'm ready to move
                               E
I'm mighty glad that you found me
          E                                              A
There's a drummer going at it way down in the core of my soul
           G#m/D#                      B/D#
There's no escaping the music and I'm psyching up my feet
            A/C#             B/D#     E
And they're telling me we're ready to roll

          A                             B                             E
There are times when I can fight it but now's the time I want to give in
C#m/C#                              F#m/C#
Sooner or later we'll get around to love
    B
But now's the time to shake it
                      A
Oh Baby let the party begin
B                  E
Baby let the party begin

       A
When I woke up this morning and I looked out my window
        E
I could see the sky was cloudy and gray
            A
There was a chill in the air and a pain in my heart
        E
And the thunder it was coming my way
           A
Oh, it was looking pretty bad and I was so alone
          E                A
And there was any place to go
            E                            B
But now I'm out of the blue, I know what I got to do
    A                             E
And something in me's starting to grow
      A                         B
I can feel it in me starting to grow...grow...grow...grow...


Chorus: Girl:
E
I got dance in my pants
A                     B                E
Every time I feel the power in a radio wave
                     B
I turn it up all the way
E
I got dance in my pants
A                    B                       E
Every time I see the glory of a good-looking face
                   B              A                          E
Well I just got to say, "Hey now, don't you worry baby, everything'll be fine
       A                               E
We got nothing but the best and we got nothing but time
             A                                E
And there'll always be a time when they'll be waiting in line
      B        B
To be dancing, dancing..."
