[Intro]
One, two, one, go
[Verse 1]
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
We see people, brand new people
They're something to see
[Chorus]
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
Oh, isn't it wild?
[Verse 2]
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We're walking through town
Nightclubbing, we're nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances, brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
[Chorus]
When we're Nightclubbing
Bright-white clubbing
Oh, isn't it wild?
