Lyrics
Intro
Ah-ah, eh-eh, yah-yeah
Chaka-chaka, ta-ta, sha-sha
Heyi ya, hey-ya, ayo
Verse
Sun on the rooftop, drums in the lane
You move like the market after the rain
Flip of your hair, laughter like sugar cane
I feel the rhythm pull me back again
Feet on the pavement, heat on our skin
Neighbors clap hands, let the night begin
Mango leaves shaking, moon taking a grin
You whisper my name, I can't help but spin (oh-oh)
Pre-chorus
All of the colors, all of the sound (ooh)
Hands in the air, we don't come down (ooh)
Turn it around, turn it around (turn it)
Feel the whole town in the palm of our hands (yah)
Chorus
Move your body, move your body, come close (come close), eh-eh
Move your body, move your body, don't stop (don't stop), ah-ah
Gbé body, gbe body, lift it up now (lift it), oh-oh
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Move your body, move your body, come close (come close), eh-eh
Move your body, move your body, don't stop (don't stop), ah-ah
Gbé body, gbe body, lift it up now (lift it), oh-oh
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Verse
You got the small talk, but your eyes say more
Weaving through people like waves on the shore
Bassline is heavy, drumstick like folklore
My feet forget rules, they search for your floor
Mama smile wide, papa clap along
The old men hum low, the young sing our song
Street vendors calling, the night growing strong
Every step closer is where I belong (yah-yah)
Pre-chorus
All of the colors, all of the sound (ooh)
Hands in the air, we don't come down (ooh)
Turn it around, turn it around (turn it)
Feel the whole town in the palm of our hands (yah)
Chorus
Move your body, move your body, come close (come close), eh-eh
Move your body, move your body, don't stop (don't stop), ah-ah
Gbé body, gbe body, lift it up now (lift it), oh-oh
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Move your body, move your body, come close (come close), eh-eh
Move your body, move your body, don't stop (don't stop), ah-ah
Gbé body, gbe body, lift it up now (lift it), oh-oh
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Bridge
Skrrt-skirrt, clap-clap, say yeah, say yeah (say it)
Na-na-na, ta-ta-touch, let the rhythm repair (repair)
One more step, one more beat, don't let go (don't let go)
Hear my voice, hear my call, follow the flow (follow)
Chorus
Move your body, move your body, come close (come close), eh-eh
Move your body, move your body, don't stop (don't stop), ah-ah
Gbé body, gbe body, lift it up now (lift it), oh-oh
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Move your body, move your body, come close (come close), eh-eh
Move your body, move your body, don't stop (don't stop), ah-ah
Gbé body, gbe body, lift it up now (lift it), oh-oh
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah, oh-oh
Outro
Ah-ah, eh-eh, yah-yeah (move it)
Chaka-chaka, ta-ta, sha-sha (lift it)
Gbé body, gbe body, yeah, yeah (come close)
Fade on the drums, fade on the drums, oh-
