Lyrics

[Chorus]
Pump up the jam
Pump it up
While your feet are stomping
And the jam is pumping
Look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party goin' on the dance floor
See, cause that's where the party's at
And you'd find out if you do that

[Hook]
I don't want
A place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want
A place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day

[Post-Hook]
Make my day
Make my day
Make my day
Make my day

[Chorus]
Yo! Pump up the jam
Pump it up
While your feet are stomping
And the jam is pumping
Look ahead, the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party goin' on the dance floor
See, cause that's where the party's at
And you'd find out if you do that

[Hook]
I don't want
A place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day
I don't want
A place to stay
Get your booty on the floor tonight
Make my day

Look at here the crowd is jumpin'
Pump it up a little more
Get the party goin' on the dance floor
See, cause that's where the party's at
And you'll find out if you're too bad
