    Listen up everybody if you want to take a chance
    Just get on the floor and do the New Kids' dance
    Don't worry about nothing 'cause it won't take long
    We're gonna put you in a trance with a funky song

    Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top
    Don't cross our path 'cause you're gonna get stomped
    We ain't gonna give anybody any slack
    And if you try to keep us down we're gonna come right back

    And you know we're

    Are you tough enough?

    Get loose everybody 'cause we're gonna do our thing
    'Cause you know it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings
