Turn around, kick, then slide
And twirl that ass to the right, now
Ooh, bunny hop, bunny hop, drop, pop
Cross your legs, turn around and clap
Shuffle to the left, let's glide now
Ooh, drop it down, drop it down low, low
Low, low, low to the floor, floor
Bring it up, clap, then roll, roll 
(Step) step on 'em, step on 'em, step on 'em, step
Step on 'em, kick on 'em, stomp then you step
Swag the right, surf the left
Work the middle 'til it hurt a little

Before I let, before I let, b-b-before I let go
Before I let, before I let, b-b-before I let go
