DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

Dumb Dancin'

We gonna do a song

Me and my crew like to play around

We like to laugh and joke and have fun while we going down

Born and raised in Philly

We go jam and jam and jam actin' silly

We got a dance we do at a party

That we'd like to introduce to everybody

It ain't the Humpty nor the Lambada

More party pump than a damn piniata

You may have seen it on my TV show

Yeah I know I dance like a pro

Cause I get busy and I get loose G

On the dance floor can't another brother juice me

Cause I'm smooth and I move loosely

With a spin or a kick like Bruce Lee

Come on get on the floor and take the chance

Everybody it's time to dumb dance

Now what's a dumb dance you might ask

Well let me take you to my dumb dancin' class

Its called dumb dance 101

It's where we teach smart people how to be dumb

Here's the background and here's what's up

Back in Philly where we grew up

We used to party all the time

Just playing around and make a Soul Train line

This old train line the concept changed

To put it in joint got flipped and rearranged

The line turned into a contest yo

To see who could dance not the worst but the best though

So in Philly the dance caught on fast

People starting challenging me to dance

So I got busy quick as the music was played up

How you gonna beat me at a dance I made up

Now you know that I can throw that

Body of mine fine so I'm about to show that

Guy who thinks he can do it a bit better

I'm the creator, originator so go and get a seat to sit down

So I can demonstrate a dance that's easy to do

And you don't have to contemplate a move at all

Just take a bit of a chance

Its time to dumb dance

Everybody in the house just (Clap your hands)

Come on just (Clap your hands everybody)

Just (Clap your hands)

Come on just (Clap your hands everybody)

Say (Clap your hands) Say (Clap your hands)

Say (Now we come to the real thing) Ha

Well there it is y'all the dumb dance concept

But let me break it down for those of you who haven't got it yet

It's the new craze coming across America

And I really really really don't care if you do it with a partner

Or do it alone

If you do it at a club or you do it at home

If you really can't dance then here's ya chance

Go for your's on the dance floor everybody dumb dance

(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(What does it all mean) (I don't know) Ha what?

(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(What does it all mean) (I don't know)

(Now then let us have some fun)

(What's up doc)

(Cha cha cha forward back)

(Cha cha cha back forward) One, two, three now)

(Everybody reach reach over the top)

(Everybody reach up don't stop don't stop)

(Everybody reach reach over the top don't stop)

(Everybody reach reach over the top)

(Everybody reach up don't stop don't stop)

(Everybody reach reach over the top don't stop)

(Everybody reach reach over the top)

(Everybody reach up don't stop don't stop)

(Everybody reach reach over the top don't stop)
