We can't stop rockin', justa havin' a ball - one and all

Won't you come around to my place
Don't cha know it's overdue
You gotta bring your little lady wear your dancin' shoes

Get a yellow taxi - take a limousine
You gotta get there - it's gonna be a scene
It's too late can't wait - get out while you can
It was fun while it lasted let's do it all again

Havin' too much fun

I gotta plead guilty
Ehh yeah!
C'mon, c'mon! This is a house arrest
