Lyrics

[Intro: Jazze Pha]
Ladies and Gentlemen (Ladies and Gentlemen)
This is a Jazze Phizzle (Phizzle, phizzle)
Productshizzle, uh, oh
Missy! (Missy)
The princess is here, she’s Ciara!

[Verse 1: Ciara w/ Missy Elliot, Missy Elliot]
This beat is
Automatic, supersonic, hypnotic, funky fresh (Ha!)
Work my body, so melodic, this beat rolls right through my chest (Yup)
Everybody, ma and papi, came to party, grab somebody
Work ya body, work ya body
Let me see you 1, 2 step (Here we go!)

[Chorus: Ciara]
Rock it, don’t stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you 1, 2 step
I love it when you 1, 2 step
Everybody 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

[Verse 2: Ciara, w/ Missy Elliot, Missy Elliot]
This beat is
Outrageous, so contagious, make you crave it
Jazze made it (Ha!)
So retarded, top charted, ever since the day I started
Strut my stuff, and yes, I flaunt it
Goodies make the boys jump on it (Ha!)
No, I can’t control myself
Now let me do my 1, 2 step (Come on!)

[Chorus: Ciara]
Rock it, don’t stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you 1, 2 step
I love it when you 1, 2 step
Everybody 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

[Interlude: Missy Elliot]
We gon’ flip it like this, ooh, wee!

[Bridge: Ciara, Jazze, Missy]
It don’t matter to me, we can dance slow (Ladies and gentlemen)
Whichever way the beat drops, our bodies will flow (I like this)
So swing it over here Mr. DJ (Hey, hey)
And we will, we will rock you, oh
It don’t matter to me, we can dance slow (Yeah, dance slow)
Whichever way the beat drops, our bodies will flow
So swing it over here Mr. DJ (Ladies and gentlemen)
And we will, we will rock you

[Verse 3: Missy Elliott]
(Let’s shake!)
I shake it like Jello, make the boys say hello
‘Cause they know I’m rockin the beat (Uh-huh)
I know you heard about a lot of great MC’s
But they ain’t got nothing on me
Because I’m 5 foot 2, I wanna dance with you
And I’m sophisticated fun
I eat filet mignon, I’m nice and young
Best believe I’m number one

[Chorus: Ciara]
Rock it, don’t stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you 1, 2 step
I love it when you 1, 2 step
Everybody 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

Rock it, don’t stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Crank the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you 1, 2 step
I love it when you 1, 2 step
Everybody 1, 2 step
We about to get it on
