Rap-O Clap-O

(Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, come on, clap your hands
You can ring my bell, everybody
Everybody, come on, ring my bell)

We got a new thing out, gonna make you shout
Got rhythm, got heat, gonna move your feet
Got class, finesse, a whole lotta style
Gonna be around for a long, long while

Got something for the young, something for the old
Something that's missing from the rock and roll
Just clap your hands, everybody, everybody clap your hands
Just clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands

It'll make you move, it'll make you go
Puts a capital "D" on the word "Disco"
Started in the States, jumped to Japan
Now it's known from the land to land

It's known in Egypt, it's known in Rome
Known in Puerto Rico, from home to home
Just clap your hands, everybody, everybody clap your hands
Just clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands

You heard it in England, you heard it in France
The music bound to make you dance
the music good and sounds terrific
Written in Chinese and hieroglyphics

It's got a new beat and I want you to know
It's a new thing out called mestizo
Just clap your hands, everybody, everybody clap your hands
Just clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands

(Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, come on, clap your hands
You can ring my bell, everybody
Everybody, come on, ring my bell)

(You can ring my bell, everybody
Everybody, come on, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, everybody
Everybody, come on, ring my bell)

Rock, swing, shake, sing
Dance, everybody, to a brand new thing
Get up, everybody, and boogie to the beat
Fly, girls, cool guys, stamp your feet

Just ring my bell, ding-a-ling-a-ling
Come on, everybody, come on and shake your thing
Just rock, everybody, everybody shake your thing
Just shake, everybody, everybody rock and sing

I'm a wizard in biology, don't you know
I can disect a frog from head to toe
I can play basketball and jump so high
I can leap tall buildings, I can even fly

I'm known in the east and I'm known in the west
My blood is mestizo, known as the best
Just rock everybody, everybody shake your thing
Just shake everybody, everybody rock and sing

They're dancing in the streets and cling 'round town
Rap-o-clap-o, that's the sound
Smack 'em in the head and kick 'em in the knee
Wake 'em from the dead to dance with me

Just kick off your shoes and count to five
Rock to the rhythm and come, come alive
One, two, three, four, five
Rock, everybody, everybody come alive

One, two, three, four, five
Rock, everybody, everybody come alive

(Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, come on, clap your hands
Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, come on, clap your hands)

(You can ring my bell, everybody
Everybody, come on, ring my bell
You can ring my bell, everybody
Everybody, come on, ring my bell)
