Heey!

When the job is over and the work is done

And the kids are all out of school

Let's cut the crowd, don't hold it back

We gotta party like a bunch of fools

I knew a queen who was really mean

She was goin' by the name of Jones

Was the meanest queen that I'd ever seen

On the dancefloor shakin' her bones

She'd say "Don't be foolish"

"Miss thing you'd better let me alone

'Cause if you can't compete with the way I move

Then you'd better takе your black butt home"

Straight, gay, or in between

Miss Jones couldn't wait to rеad

She'd be the first and the last one to let you know

That you're messing with [?] honey

Now let me see you do my ditty

Get out on the floor (and get on down, y'all)

Hully gully and the new nitty-gritty

Work those muscles and your body 'til you can't no more!

In America, home of the brave

Where the flag's red, white and blue

They party damn near everyday

And the children make sure they do

Going upstairs, downstairs

Climbing all over the walls

They party through the whole stankin' house

Winter, spring, summer and fall

Europeans ain't far behind

They just have a little different style

Like punk, funk, a little new wave

If you like it then it's all worth while

In Chinatown, they're all gettin' down

Bruce Lee could have told you so

He was whammin', bammin', crammin'

And he ordered fried rice to go

Now let me see you do my ditty

Get out on the floor (and get on down, y'all)

Hully gully and the new nitty-gritty

Work those muscles and your body 'til you can't no more!

Yeah!

Now let me see you do my ditty

Get out on the floor (and get on down, y'all)

Hully gully and the new nitty-gritty

Work those muscles and your body 'til you can't no more!

Well tough titty said the kitty, let me do my ditty

I'm givin' you a brand new nitty gritty

I'm a girl from the city and I sure am pretty

Now let me see you do-do-do my ditty

Do-do-do my ditty

Now let me see you do my ditty

Get out on the floor

Hully gully and the new nitty-gritty

Work those muscles and your body 'til you can't no more!

Work!

Now let me see you do my ditty

Get out on the floor

Hully gully and the new nitty-gritty

Work those muscles and your body 'til you can't no more!

Heey!

Let me see you do my ditty

Get down on your knees

Hey ya'll?

(What!)

What's the name of this song?

(Said "Do My Ditty" boy and don't play dumb

You've been doing it all night long!)

Hey girls?

(What!)

What's the name of this song?

(Said "Do My Ditty" boy and don't play dumb

You've been doing it all night long!)

Hey ya'll?

(What!)

What's the name of this song now?

("Do My Ditty" boy, and don't play dumb

You've been doing it all night long!)

Hey ya'll?

(What!)
