Lyrics
Do the D-A-N-C-E
Encouragement to perform the dance known as D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight
Counting beats, implying a sense of rhythm and readiness for action
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Emphasizing the importance of staying in sync with the beat
Get ready to ignite
Getting prepared for an energetic and exciting experience
You were such a P.Y.T.
P.Y.T. stands for "Pretty Young Thing," possibly referring to an attractive person
Catching all the lights
Being captivating and attracting attention
Just easy as A-B-C
Comparing the ease of the dance to the simplicity of the alphabet
That's how you make it right
Expressing that following the dance correctly is the right way to do it
Do the D-A-N-C-E
Repetition of the call to perform the D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight
Continuation of counting beats and readiness for action
Stick to the B-E-A-T

Get ready to ignite
Repeating the anticipation of an exciting ignition
You were such a P.Y.T.
Reiteration of addressing someone as a "Pretty Young Thing"
Catching all the lights

Just easy as A-B-C

Do the D-A-N-C-E
Repetition of the call to perform the D-A-N-C-E
