Richie: 
I understood the plan 
Im gonna be the man 
(You've changed my destiny, no doubt it's plain to see) 
One life is all we've got 
Don't let them make u stop 
(Lets fight for what is right, we'll make it trough the night) 

Bridge: 
Girls are you ready for me 
Girls are you ready for me 
Girls are you ready for love 
(Now everybody dance) 

Chorus: 
Don't let the rhythm die 
Move your body to it 
Don't let the music die 
Put your soul into it 
Don't let the rhythm die 
Move your body to it 
Don't let the music die 
Put your soul into it 

Shakin it to the right (ooohhh) 
We're movin to it 
Shakin it to the left (ooohhh) 
Just dancin to it 
Shakin it to the right (ooohhh) 
We're movin to it 
That makes the rhythm of life 

Richie: 
Last night i had a dream 
It was a crazy scene 
(*The scene* was everywhere, the rhythm took us there) 
People from all around, made up a brand new sound 
(They live in harmony, until eternity) 

Bridge: 
Girls are you ready for me 
Girls are you ready for me 
Girls are you ready for love 
(Now everybody dance) 

Chorus: 
Don't let the rhythm die 
Move your body to it 
Don't let the music die 
Put your soul into it 
Don't let the rhythm die 
Move your body to it 
Don't let the music die 
Put your soul into it 

Shakin it to the right (ooohhh) 
We're movin to it 
Shakin it to the left (ooohhh) 
Just dancin to it 
Shakin it to the right (ooohhh) 
We're movin to it 
That makes the rhythm of life 

Jay / Chris (rap):
I've never felt a guy so into it 
All the girls on the club, get into it 
You're not into it, get into it 
Cuz i've never heard a guy so into it 
All the boys from around be down with it 
Weather girl on the floor get down with it 
You're not down with it, get down with it 
Everybody everywhere no time to quit 

Jay: 
Now it's up to you 
*To make a* change *in* your life 
So let it through 
*Just* look inside your soul, and take control 
No more deny 
*The* rhythm of life 

(Now everybody dance) 

Chorus: 
Don't let the rhythm die 
Move your body to it 
Don't let the music die 
Put your soul into it 
Don't let the rhythm die 
Move your body to it 
Don't let the music die 
Put your soul into it 

Shakin it to the right (ooohhh) 
We're movin to it 
Shakin it to the left (ooohhh) 
Just dancin to it 
Shakin it to the right (ooohhh) 
We're movin to it 
That makes the rhythm of life
