I understood the plan
I’m gonna be the man
(To change my destiny
No doubt it’s plain to see)
One Life is all we've got
Don’t let them make you stop.
(Let´s fight for what is right
We’ll make it through the night)

BRIDGE:
Girls are you ready for me?

Don’t let the Rhythm die
Work your body to it
Don´t let the music die
Put your soul into it

Shakin´it to the right-Oho
Then move it to it
Shakin´ it to the left-Oho
Just dancin´to it
Shakin´it to the right-Oho

That makes the Rhythm of life

Last night I had a dream
It was a crazy scene
(Music was everywhere
The rhythm took us there)
People from all around
Made up a brand new sound
(They live in harmony-
until eternity)

Don’t let the Rhythm die
Work your body to it
Don´t let the music die
Put your soul into it

Shakin´ it to the left-Oho
Just dancin´to it
Shakin´it to the right-Oho

Jay:
I never saw a crowd
So into it
All the girls in the club get into it
You're not into it? Get into it
Cause I never heard
A crowd so into it
All the boys from around we down with it
Grab a girl on a floor - get down with it
You not down with it- Get down with it
Everybody everywhere no time to quit

Jay:
Now it's up to you
To make a change in life
So let it through
Just look inside your soul
And take control
No more denyin´
The rhythm of life

CHORUS 1 (2x):
Don’t let the Rhythm die
Work your body to it
Don´t let the music die
Put your soul into it

Chorus 2:

Shakin´ it to the left-Oho
Just dancin´to it
Shakin´it to the right-Oho
