Lyrics:
1. (Verse 1)
Two o'clock things at the office
And your boss man's on your case
You can feel your blood a-pressure starting to rise
Until this feeling takes a hold on you
(Chorus)
You just want to dance, the music's calling you now
You've suddenly forgot all about the work you've got to do
'Cause there's a groove inside your body that can't be denied, oh babe
It's the hustle! Get up, get down
Get up, get down dance with me
The hustle! You can do it, now just do it, babe
(Verse 2)
Well if you've tried all other dances, and you just don't know what to do
Just remember that this one is the easiest ever made for you
Now, all you've got to do is follow me
(Chorus)
You just want to dance, the music's calling you now
You've suddenly forgot all about the work you've got to do
'Cause there's a groove inside your body that can't be denied, oh babe
It's the hustle! Get up, get down
Get up, get down dance with me
The hustle! You can do it, now just do it, babe
(Bridge)
Don't be afraid to put your feet in motion
Put yourself in the midst of the emotion
Let the rhythm control your destiny, oh baby
(repeat)
(Chorus)
You just want to dance, the music's calling you now
You've suddenly forgot all about the work you've got to do
'Cause there's a groove inside your body that can't be denied, oh babe
It's the hustle! Get up, get down
Get up, get down dance with me
The hustle! You can do it, now just do it, babe
