We got a little dance for ya'
Funky, funky dance for ya'
Name other dance as the Cooley
We got a little dance for ya′
Funky, funky dance for ya′
Name other dance as the Cooley (cool)
You want to do the dance, thought you, ain't nothin′ to it
Mama and papa, even granny can do it
Now everybody gather 'round, can′t you see what's goin′ down? (Yeah)
The Cooley, Cooley dance is the talk of the town

Ah, here we go on the Cooley vibe
Settin' it off like this, that's right
It′s kind of like the vogue but you do it with soul
Keep in mind that the beat′s in control
Peep the peep that you're gettin′ with
Flip ya' cap, put your hand on your hip
Like that, like this and it′s all a good help
You could Cooley by yourself
Do the Cooley

Do it, do it
Do the Cooley
Everybody
Do the Cooley
Got to get with the Cooley
Yeah, just hit me

Mornin', noon and after dark
On the bus, on the train or in the shower
Open the clubs way after hours
All across the universe
Blowin' up on planet Earth
Got ′em movin′ from start to finish
A new hip hop epidemic
