Lyrics

Hold on, hold on! why y'all beatin' on shit, what's that mean?
Hold up, do y'all wanna learn a new dance?
Are you qualified to learn one?
Uh huh, that's what I thought. who can dance out there?
Ok, we gonna try a new dance
And if I don't see everybody doin' it, I don't wanna see you no more
Jellybean, are we ready? y'all better do this one

What time is it?
Alright, y'all got 10 seconds to get to the dance floor and... whawk!

(Chorus)
America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance and it's called "the bird"
You don't need no finesse or no personality, you just need two arms and an attitude
And everybody sing with me, come on now!
Whawk! hallelujah! whoa!

Brothers, don't be cool. women like it sometimes when you act a fool
Sisters, don't be shy. let your body get loose, you ain't to fat to fly
Come on now! whawk! hallelujah! whoa!

Yes! hold on now, this dance ain't for everybody. just the sexy people
White folks, you're much too tight
You gotta shake your head like the black folks. you might get some tonight
Look out!

(Repeat chorus)

Alright! when the horns blow, I want everybody on the floor
You know this groove is sexy, you ain't got no excuse no more
Jerome, I wanna show 'em where we live
Siamese twins joined at the suit. fellas, give me something to fly with

Alright brothers, keep up with that
Jerome, bring me my hat. did I mess my hair up?
Fellas, y'all play something
I'm go over here and talk to this girl

I pledge allegiance to the time
Can y'all sing that? sing it!

Whawk! hallelujah! whoa!

Fellas? - yeah!
What's the word? - whawk!
When you wanna get some, what'd you do? - do "the bird!"

Take it home!
Chili sauce!

It's the last call for alcohol
If you ain't got what you want, you got to get the hell outta here!

Thank you ..
