Lyrics
Start the party up
Hit the groove
Celebrate is what we're here to do
Crank the music
Now's the time
All of us are here tonight
something new
we're moving on
We've been thinking 'bout it all year long
Got the right moves, cheetah girls
Here we go gonna rock the world
Party 'cause you know the future's all yours
Dance till your feet don't touch the floor
Celebrate the day you've waited for
[x2]
Party like you're ready for so much more
Do it like you know it's never been done
Go a little crazy, have too much fun
Today's the day, come on everyone
The party's just begun
I know you feelin' this
Put your hands up if you feelin' this
I'm feelin it girl
I know you feelin' it
Everybody get up here we go
Everybody now make some noise
All the girls and all the boys
Don't you know we got it going on
All together we belong
Pump the beat y'all
That's the groove
Looking good with a new attitude
Start the party, uh
Time to shine
Cheetahs now we're doing it right
Party 'cause you know the future's all yours
Dance till your feet don't touch the floor
Celebrate the day you've waited for
Party like you're ready for so much more
Do it like you know it's never been done
Go a little crazy, have too much fun
Today's the day, come on everyone
The party's just begun
Come on
We can do anything everything we wanna
Finally we get the chance
Everybody wanna celebrate
Let the party never end
Ready for the summer holiday
anticipating what's ahead
Now we're better than we've ever been
You know we do it right
Acapella now bring it in
Come on girl, one more time
Chillin' out
Break it down
That's the way we do it now
Attitude in the groove
Getting into something new
Say goodbye to yesterday
Future looking good to me
All together raise your hands
Time to party, time to dance
Party 'cause you know the future's all yours
Dance till your feet don't touch the floor
Celebrate the day you've waited for
Party like you're ready for so much more
Do it like you know it's never been done
Go a little crazy, have too much fun
Today's the day, come on everyone
The party's just begun
