lyrics
Let the lights go off, and turn the night on Pedro,
hit me with this bass drum
Here goes another one
Let the light go off and turn the night full on and now
Hi, Hit me with this bass drum
Let the lightsgo out, just keep the night all night, all wild, all on,
(and) just (just) keep the night on
Let the lights go off, and turn the night on Pedro,
hit me with this bass drum
Let the lights go out, just keep the night all night, all wild, all on,
(and) just keep the night on
