Lyrics:

Come on. Check it out, ya'll.

(Come on, come on!)

Check it out-- the tribal dance!

Feel the force. This is your chance,

to get control and do the tribal dance.

People started dancing a long time ago,

the bass was fast, but then again it was slow.

Soul, house, rythym and blues...

it doesn't matter what music you choose.

Strike up a dance, is your chance

to come with me and do the tribal dance!

You've got to move it with a temperature,

into the rythym that the fire burns!

So get into it-- get into the trance,

this is the rhythm of the tribal dance, the tribal dance!

It started with a tribe who discovered the vibe,

who moved to the rhythm just the way they liked.

You hear the treble, you hear the bass.

The are-a-why, yeah is on the case.

Feel the fire, feel the flame.

Do your thing now, don't be ashamed.

I have to go now, no offense,

I've hooked you up into the tribal dance!

Get into it!

Get into it!

Get into the trance!

You've got to do the tribal dance!

Check it out (come on!)

Take your chance!

Check it out (come on!)

Take your chance!

Check it out (come on!)

Take your chance!

Tribal dance! Tribal dance, tribal dance!

Yeah! Oh! Tribal dance! Tribal dance!

You've got to move it with a temperature,

into the rythym that the fire burns!

So get into it-- get into the trance,

this is the rhythm of the tribal dance, the tribal dance!
