Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you've tried it, do the conga beat
Everybody gather 'round now
Let your body feel the heat
Don't you worry if you can't dance
Let the music move your feet
It's the rhythm of the island
And like sugarcane, so sweet
If you want to do the conga
You've got to listen to the beat
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you've tried it, do the conga beat
Feel the fire of desire
As you dance the night away
'Cause tonight we're gonna party
'Til we see the break of day
Better get yourself together
And hold on to what you got
Once the music hit your system
There's no way you're gonna stop
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you've tried it, do the conga beat
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you've tried it, do the conga
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you've tried it, do the conga beat
Come on shake your body baby do the conga
