All Night Long Lyrics

[Intro]
JC, bring the beat in

[Verse 1]
Well my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on, oh yeah yeah
Everybody sing and everybody dance
(Everybody) Lose yourself in wild romance

[Pre-Chorus]
We're going to party, karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We're gonna party, karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on, now, sing along, yeah

[Chorus]
All night long (All night)
All night (All night)
All night long (All night)
All night long (All night, all night)
All night long (All night)
Sing it

[Verse 2]
People dancing all in the street, yeah
You see the rhythm in their feet, yes
(Wiggle wiggle wiggle, woooo!)
Life is good, good, good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on and on and on and on, on
Feel it in your heart and feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
[Pre-Chorus]
We're going to party, karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on, let's sing, oh sing along, no, no
Party, karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on, it's time to sing along (Sing along)

[Chorus]
All night long, long (All night)

[Bridge]
Once you get started, you can't sit down
Come join the fun, it's a merry-go-round
(Djesse's got a sky like a merry-go-round)
Everyone's dancing their troubles away
Come join the party, see how we play

[Verse 3]
Well my friends, the time has come (All night long)
We're gonna raise the roof and have some fun (All night, all night long)
Life is good, life is sweet, so come on now, yeah
Let the music go on and on and on and on and
Feel it in your heart and feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
