We gonna dance all our troubles far away x2
We will dance to escape our troubles, repeating twice.
We gonna dance all night till it turn to day
We will dance all night until it becomes day.

We ah shake two foot and we ah drink two beer
We shake our bodies and drink beer.
All de gyal dem dress up and dem ah comb up dem hair
