Lyrics
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
(Play on, play on)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on
(Play on, play on)
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We're going to party
Liming, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
Yeah, once you get started
You can't sit down
Come join the fun
It's a merry-go-round
Everyone's dancing
Their troubles away
Come join our party
See how we play!

All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)
All night long! (all night, all night)

Everyone you meet
They're jamming in the street
All night long!

Everyone you meet
They're jamming in the street
All night long!
