[Verse 1: Girl]
E
Hey! Listen now it's coming so close
A
I'll let the rhythm surround me
G#m/D# B
I'm getting itchy and I'm ready to move
E
I'm mighty glad that you found me
E A
There's a drummer going at it way down in the core of my soul
G#m/D# B/D#
There's no escaping the music and I'm psyching up my feet
A/C# B/D# E
And they're telling me we're ready to roll
A B E
There are times when I can fight it but now's the time I want to give in
C#m/C# F#m/C#
Sooner or later we'll get around to love
B
But now's the time to shake it
A
Oh Baby let the party begin
B E
Baby let the party begin
A
When I woke up this morning and I looked out my window
E
I could see the sky was cloudy and gray
A
There was a chill in the air and a pain in my heart
E
And the thunder it was coming my way
A
Oh, it was looking pretty bad and I was so alone
E A
And there was any place to go
E B
But now I'm out of the blue, I know what I got to do
A E
And something in me's starting to grow
A B
I can feel it in me starting to grow...grow...grow...grow...
[Chorus: Girl]
E
I got dance in my pants
A B E
Every time I feel the power in a radio wave
B
I turn it up all the way
E
I got dance in my pants
A B E
Every time I see the glory of a good-looking face
B A E
Well I just got to say, "Hey now, don't you worry baby, everything'll be fine
A E
We got nothing but the best and we got nothing but time
A E
And there'll always be a time when they'll be waiting in line
B B
To be dancing, dancing..."
A E
You don't say nothing all week, you're getting ready for
B B
Dancing, dancing
A E
And now your body really knows how to speak, you're getting ready for
B B
Dancing, dancing
A E
You don't say nothing all week, you're getting ready for
B B
Dancing, dancing
A E
Now your body really knows how to speak, you're getting ready
A E
Come on, take a chance
A E
You got a whole lotta style and a load of romance
B B/D# B/F# B E
And me, me, me, me... I got dance in my pants...
F#

Em A
I got dance in my pants...

G
We can rock it really hard or we can roll it really slow
D/F#
We can lift it really high or we can dip it really low
G
We can hold it in tight or we can let it all out
A
Or we can work up a sweat and really stomp it and shout
G
Let me pull you so close and then we'll break away fast
C
We'll be the best on the floor we got the cool and the flash

We'll make a dangerous turn but we'll come out of it fine
