Lyrics
Why are you quiet, why are you in your seat?
That's not why God gave you a voice and two feet
It's time to stand and deliver and let yourself be heard
There's a riot to be started and "pump" it is the word
Whether you're young, you're old, you're black or you're white
Stick your fists in the air and pump 'em all night
Whether you're young, you're old, you're black or you're white
Stick your fists in the air and pump 'em all night, yeah
CHORUS
Pump
I said pump
Can we pump, pump?
Pump
That's a little better but Philly's got you beat
And the people up in Cleveland know how to bring the heat
So you say that you're wilder, you're crazy and you're proud
So come on and prove it to us and give it to me loud
Whether you're young, you're old, you're black or you're white
Stick your fists in the air and pump 'em all night
Whether you're young, you're old, you're black or you're white
Stick your fists in the air and pump 'em all night, yeah
CHORUS
Whether you're young, you're old, you're black or you're white
Stick your fists in the air and pump 'em all night
Whether you're young, you're old, you're black or you're white
Stick your fists in the air and pump 'em all night, yeah
CHORUS 2X
