Oh, it's gonna be a big night

Been workin' overtime
I need a heartbeat to get this party right
I'm on another level
Turn up the bass and treble
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
'Cause I've been feelin' down, down, down
I need a pick me up, 'round, 'round, 'round
I wanna spin it up loud, loud, loud
DJ take me away
Oh, it's gonna be a big night
We're gonna have a good time
