Lyrics:

The message is in the music
Now if you're ready, the band's got the notion
Do what your rhythm sets into motion
Shimmy, shimmy, coco bop
You're rocking with the Doc

Come on and do it, come on and do it
Come on and do it, do it, do it, come on and do it
Come on and do it, come on and do it
Come on and do it, do it, do it, come on, do it

Well now, it looks like the big fun has just begun
Well, I've been watching you all night
Don't you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance

Tang, tang, and a boogie bang
Let's rock the house, let's shock the house
Boom, boom, shaking room
Let's rock the house, let's shock the house
All night, alright
Don't stop, don't stop, don't block the Doc
Shake a boom-boom, shake a tang-tang
Shake a boom-boom, tang-tang, rubbitum-tum
Go bang that thang to the beat of the drum

Everybody, get on up and dance
Get on up, yeah, yeah
Ain't you tired of sitting down
Get on up and dance, yeah, well

Now if the rhythms make you wanna dance and sing
And otherwise do your thing
Come swing to the music
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
This ain't your funky show

Hey now, we like to say that it's not a question of getting down
But actually how low you can go
So here's to your health, now express yourself
Bohannon, make it funky

Come on and do it, come on and do it
Come on and do it, do it, do it, come on and do it
Come on and do it, come on and do it
Come on and

Come on and do it, come on and do it
Come on and do it, do it, do it, come on and do it

The whole house starts rocking
When the drummer starts socking
That anti-wallflower sound at you
Get up off the wall, y'all
Kick those feet up and set them down
Don't be ashamed, don't be shy
Come on, girl, come on, guy

Everybody, well, stand up and shout
Oh, oh-oh, oh, well
That's what you got to do, yeah
Get your body going
Inside and out, yeah
Just dance
Shout with the music, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

She'll be coming round the mountain
When she comes long stroking
Set this smoking flame high
Dark to the light, big moon
Said a yum, yum, gimme some
A tang, tang, a boogie bang
Let's rock the house, let's shock the house
You got to get down

Music (yeah)
For the soul of man
And the heart of woman
Yeah
Yeah
