My bestie and your bestie
Sit down by the fire
Your bestie says she want party
So can we make these flames go higher
Talkin' 'bout hey now (Hey now)
Hey now (Hey now)

Start my truck, let's all jump in

Nice cool breeze and big palm trees

Talkin' 'bout hey now (Hey now)
Hey now (Hey now)

Step on the dancing floor
Hips be winding, DJ rewinding
Take it to the island way
Keio, baby mama

One drop it drop it low now, take it to the max now
Jammin' the Small Jam way
Ja-ja-ja-jammin' the Small Jam way

Turn it around and forward (Wind and go down again)
Wind up, go down, wind up, go down
Twist your body backwards (Twist it back)
We go left, left, we go right, right

My bestie and your bestie
Dancing by the fire
Your bestie says she want party
