Lyrics
Listen, Learn, Then Delete
Intro by Clara Lofaro, Richard Sokolow, Peter Wostrel
Oh-oh Let's get started, Oh-oh Turn on the beat, Oh-oh Break every rule
Verse 1
Don't need anyone, to give me rules
Got no regard for midnight curfews
Wanna have some fun, leave the city undone
We are free, so let's go
And we'll put on a sho-ow
Chorus
Let's get started
Oh-oh Turn on the beat
Oh-oh Break every rule
Listen, Learn, Then Delete
Oh-oh Three steps to it
Oh-oh Feel your heartbeat
Oh-oh Then lose your mind
Listen, Learn, Then Delete
Verse 2
Tattooed and untied, wanna check out some other guys
Can't starve this fever, when trouble's on my mind
Just dance and get wild, show the whole world your style
We are free, find a door
And get your feet on the floo-or
Chorus
Bridge 1
Come down from your fire escape, take off your high heels and feel what you feel
Honk your horn, gather round let's go hook up the town
Drop your keys, call your boys, get down and make some noise
Breakdown (ad lib)
Bridge 2
Come on girls, come on boys, everybody dance (4 times)
Chorus (2 times)
