Lyrics of 'Powerline' by Prince

Alright, stop the music, stop the music!
Ladies and gentlemen, I regret 2 inform U
That U are all under arrest
Yeah, right
Now I want 2 see all the fly boys on one side of the room
And all the fly girls on the other
We gonna hip U 2 the Powerline
Yeah, right
Move, U mutha!

(Dance the...) {Sample repeats in BG throughout song]
(Get off on this...) {Sample repeats in BG throughout song]
(Come feel it...) {Sample repeats in BG throughout song]

Pop, yo, yo, turn this mike up!
That's right!
All the fly boys on one side of the room
All the fly girls on the other
U have the right 2 dance and that's your only right
Now move, U mutha!

(Power) {x4}
Woo, I'm talkin' 'bout the Powerline {x2}

Girlies swing the boys
Boys swing the girlies
Don't worry about the time
This party's goin' till early
Now everybody in pairs
Walk the Powerline
And while U walk
Dance and we'll decide if U need 2 do some time

CHORUS:
(Power) (Power) {x4}
Dance 2 the middle of the disco floor
Shake your body on the 2 and 4
All the way up from the bottom 2 the top
The Powerline, it never stops

Yeah, right
I want 2 see the fly boys on one side
The fly girls on the other
Move it, move it
We're gonna hip ya 2 the Powerline
Yeah right
Get ready, y'all

Everybody over there, against the wall
Get in this Powerline, let's have a ball
Look at Johnny, doin' the limbo crawl
With his girlie on top, now honey that's gall!
Everybody!

CHORUS

Woo!

Look at these 2, got the nerve 2 pose
I'm scared of U, honey, snap snap and go
Tsk... hated it! {"In Living Color" sample}

(Power) {x2}
I'm talkin' bout the Powerline
U have the right 2 dance
Now move, U mutha!

(Power) (Power) {x4}
I'm talkin' 'bout the Powerline
Move! (Funky)

Would U please look at girlfriend?
With these hot pants on (Get up)
So bowlegged, so bowlegged
It looks like the crack'o'dawn (Funky)
Yo, check out my brotha
Doin' the Ohio Chicken
Finger lickin' good
Yeah, this dance is still kickin' (Funky)

(Power) {x2}
Talkin' bout the Powerline (Funky)
Talkin' bout the Powerline
(Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow)
Sing!

CHORUS {x2}
