Lyrics:

[Cynthia Robinson]
Get up and dance to the music
Get on up and dance to the music

[All]
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music

[Freddie Stone]
Hey Greg

[Greg Errico]
What?

[Freddie]
All we need is a drummer
For people who only need a beat, yeah

[Drum added]

[Freddie]
I'm gonna add a little guitar
And make it easy to move your feet

[Guitar added]

[Larry Graham]
I'm gonna add some bottom
So that the dancers just won't hide

[Bass added]

[Sylvester 'Sly' Stone]
You might like to hear my organ
I said ‘Ride, Sally, ride now’

[Organ added]

[Freddie]
Cynthia, Jerry
If I could hear the horns blowin'
Cynthia on the throne, yeah

[Trumpet: Cynthia]

[Freddie]
Listen to me
Cynthia & Jerry got a message they're sayin':

[Cynthia]
All the squares, go home
Aaaaah, yeah

[Saxophone: Jerry Martini]

[Greg]
Listen to the basses

[All]
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music
Dance to the Music
