Hey, pretty papa, why you standing so still
You're much too young to be over the hill
Didn't your mama ever teach you somethin'
About how to shake, cut the rug
It's time to light a fire under your feet
I'm gonna show you something super sweet
C'mon baby, time to loosen up
It's only as hard as a hop, skip 'n jump
CHORUS
Hop, skip 'n' jump, baby, it's a start
Dance your way right into my heart
C'mon, baby, let me see you move
And I just might fall in love with you
When the band kicks in you're gonna feel in itch
Then both feet will start to twitch
Take my hand, hop on forward
Skip around, jump back in that order
Put your arms around me baby
Two-step, ten-step, Cajun maybe
C'mon honey, let's cheek to cheek
I wanna feel your heart move to the beat
BRIDGE
Oh, the night is young, the band's just begun to play
Oh, and the road to love is only a hop, skip 'n' jump away
