Lyrics:

(Oh yeah) Come on, children
(Oh yeah) Hey!
Can you do the jerk?
Come on, let's work
Move your shoulders up and down
Your feet don't leave the ground
Anyone can do it
Friends, there's nothing to it
If you're young or old
All it takes is soul
But I just wanna know can you jerk like me
Come on, children (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, come on children now (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby
I just wanna know (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby
Now you're right back in the groove
Like I said if you're feet don't move
Ah, get hump up in your back
Ah, take care of all the slack
Ah, come on, let's work
Snap your fingers, make your backbone work
Now you've got that feeling
'Cause the music's got you reeling

And I just wanna know (Can you jerk like me?)
Come on, children (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, come on, children now
I just wanna know (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby, ow, it's alright
I just wanna know (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby
Now you're right in the groove
Like I said, if your feet don't move
Come on, baby, let's work
Just snap your fingers, make your backbone jerk
Now, you've got that feeling
When the music's got you reeling
Now you know how it goes
I just wanna know (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby (Can you jerk like me?)
Come on, children (Can you jerk like me?)
Hey, baby (Can you jerk like me?)
Come on now, children, now (Can you jerk like me?)
Oh, baby (Can you jerk like me?)
