Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your Mother was born.
Though she was born a long long time ago,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know.

 Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born.
Though she was born a long long time ago,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know.

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born.
Though she was born a long long time ago,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know.

Though she was born a long long time ago,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know,
Your mother should know.
