Lyrics:

[R:] Come on. Check it out, ya'll
[A:] Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!
[R:] Check it out! 'The tribal dance!'

(Say that again?)

[R:] 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, hip-hop and blues
It doesn't really matter which music you choose
Start up a dance this is your chance
To come with me and do the tribal dance!

[A:] You've got to move it feel the temperature
Into the rythym let the fire burn
So get into it-- get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
'The tribal dance!'

[R:] 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 R-A-Y, 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!

[A:] Get it into it!
Get into it!
Get into the trance!

[A:] You've got to move it feel the temperature
Into the rythym let the fire burn
So get into it-- get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
'The tribal dance!'

[A:] You've got to do the tribal dance!

[R:] Check it out! C'mon! Take your chance!
Check it out! C'mon! Take your chance!
Check it out! C'mon! Take your chance!
[A:] Tribal dance!
[R:] Tribal dance, tribal dance!
[A:] Yeah! Oh!
[R:] Tribal dance! Tribal dance!

[A:] You've got to move it feel the temperature
Into the rythym let the fire burn
So get into it-- get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
'The tribal dance!'

[A:] You've got to move it feel the temperature
Into the rythym let the fire burn
So get into it-- get into the trance
This is the rhythm of the tribal dance
'The tribal dance!'
