On the Floor Lyrics

[Intro: Pitbull & Jennifer Lopez]
JLo
Ya tú sabes, no es más nada
It's a new generation
Mr. Worldwide
Of party people
Yeah, get on the floor, dale
Get on the floor, RedOne
Let me introduce you to my party people in the club, ha

[Verse 1: Pitbull]
I'm loose (I'm loose)
And everybody knows I get off the chain
Babe, it's the truth (It's the truth)
I'm like Inception, I play with your brain
So I don't sleep or snooze (Snooze)
I don't play no games so d-d-don't-don't-don't get it confused, no
'Cause you will lose, yeah
Now, now pu-pu-pu-pu-pump it up
And back it up, like a Tonka truck, dale!

[Verse 2: Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull & Both]
If you go hard, you gotta get on the floor (Hey)
If you're a party freak, then step on the floor (Yeah)
If you're an animal, then tear up the floor
Break a sweat on the floor, yeah, we work on the floor (Ah)
Don't stop, keep it movin', put your drinks up (Woo!)
Pick your body up and drop it on the floor (Hey)
Let the rhythm change your world on the floor (Hahaha)
You know we're runnin' shit tonight on the floor
Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza
Straight to L.A., New York, Vegas to Africa (Ah)

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull]
Dance the night away
Live your life, and stay young on the floor (Hahaha)
Dance the night away
Grab somebody, drink a little more
Así mismo, así me gusta, así me gusta, así me gusta
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor (Woo!)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor (It's rocking)

[Verse 3: Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull & Both]
I know you got it, clap your hands on the floor (Hey)
And keep on rockin', rock it up on the floor (Yeah)
If you're a criminal, kill it on the floor
Steal it quick on the floor, on the floor (Yeah)
Don't stop, keep it movin', put your drinks up (Woo!)
It's gettin' ill, it's gettin' sick on the floor (Hey)
We never quit, we never rest on the floor (Yeah)
If I ain't wrong, we'll probably die on the floor
Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza
Straight to L.A., New York, Vegas to Africa (Dale)

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull]
Dance the night away
Live your life, and stay young on the floor (Ha, dale, así me gusta)
Dance the night away
Grab somebody, drink a little more
Dale, así me gusta, así me gusta, así me gusta
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor (Let's rock)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor (Let's rock)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor (Woo!)

[Verse 4: Pitbull]
That badonkadonk is like a trunk
Full of bass on an old-school Chevy
Seven-trey donkey donk (Yeah)
All I need is some vodka and some chonky Coke
And watch a chick gon' get Donkey-Konged (Hahaha)
Baby, if you're ready for things to get heavy
I get on the floor and act a fool if you let me, dale
Don't believe me, just bet me (Hahaha)
My name ain't Keith, but I see why you sweat me (Hahaha)
L.A., Miami, New York
Say no more, get on the floor (Woo)

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull]
Dance the night away
Live your life, and stay young on the floor
Dance the night away
Grab somebody, drink a little more
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Let's rock)
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Let's rock)
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Woo!)
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Let's rock)
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor (Woo!)
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor
Tonight, we gon' be it on the floor

Genius Answer

….let’s talk “On The Floor”…this was my first track after I had my babies and I hadn’t put out a record in a few years. They gave us no money to make this video. It ended up leaking a few days before my debut on “American Idol” and started climbing straight up the charts! It’s also my first video to reach 1 billion views on YouTube, and I was the first female artist to do that.
