Mega Mix Lyrics

Mega Mix

Doctor I've got this feelin' deep
Inside of me, deep inside of me
I just can't control my feet when
I hear the beat, when I hear the beat
I just don't know, don't know
How I'm gonna deal with you
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc, Doctor Beat
I just don't know, don't know
Won't you help me Doctor Beat
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc, Doctor Beat
won't you help me Doctor Beat
Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc, Doctor Beat
Shake Shake Shake your body
Baby Shake Shake Shake Shake your body baby
Shake Shake Shake your body
Baby shake your body baby,
Do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it till you've tried it
Do the conga beat
Everybody gather 'round now
Let your body feel the heat.
Don't you worry if you can't dance
Let the music move your feet.
At night when you turn off all the lights
There's no place that you can hide
Oh no, the rhythm is gonna get'cha
The rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight
7,6,5,4,3,2,1
1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
Get on your feet
Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Get on your feet
You say I know it's a waste of time
There's no use trying
So scared that life's gonna pass you by
Your spirit dying
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through
Get on your feet
Get on your feet
