Lyrics
"Say kids, what time is it?"

It's time for...

The Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

It's time for...

Buttocks, navel, and breasts on show

Arms, legs, even elbows, you know

Come on, kids, it's time to play

Let's explore our bodies in a fun way

He's boppin' his head to the funky beat

Shaking his hips, while movin' his feet

His eyes and ears, he moves them both all around

As he grooves to the rhythm, gettin' down

The kids stop their dance while feeling the heat

Wigglin' and jigglin' on every street

Buttocks bounce, navel sways the groove

And breasts, they bounce, in their own smooth move

Come on, kids, it's time to explore

Let's celebrate our bodies and adore

Embrace your uniqueness, take a chance

Let's have some fun with the Body Dance

Butt, belly, and breasts on show

Arms, legs, even elbows, you know

Come on, kids, it's time to play

Our bodies are amazing, that's what we say

Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

It's time for...

The Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

It's time for...

The Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

Let's celebrate our bodies, it's a blast

Respect and love, make it last

Each part unique, no need to hide

In our playful dance, let's take pride

Buttocks, navel, and breasts, we embrace

In a lighthearted manner, no disgrace

With joy and laughter, we advance

Expressing ourselves through the Body Dance

Buttocks, navel, and breasts on show

Arms, legs, even elbows, you know

Come on, kids, it's time to play

Celebrate your bodies, every single day

Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

It's time for...

The Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

It's time for...

The Body Dance! Body Dance! Body Dance!

Let's explore our bodies in a fun way

Breasts

Feet and toes

Even elbows

Navel

Knees

Buttocks
