Aretha Franklin — What Y’All Came To Do

[Intro] I want everybody to get up off your seat And get your arms together and your hands together And give me some of that old soul [Verse 1: Aretha Franklin] I been workin' graveyard shifts eight days and no breaks This ain't livin', somethin's missing Friday night the weekend's here, it's right on time I'm on a mission for somethin' different (Come on, come on) Ain't no time to waste, girl, it's gettin' late Let's show them what we can do My work is done, the weekend's just for fun Get out of your seat and let's move [Chorus: John Legend & (Aretha Franklin)] What y'all came to do? (What y'all came to do?) Put on your dancin' shoes (Oh) Yeah, we about to burn it up (We 'bout to burn it up) Come on everybody burn it up (Everybody burn it up) I ain't got nothin' to prove (Yeah) Ain't got nothin' to lose (Nothin' to lose) Yeah, we about to turn it up (We 'bout to turn it up) Come on everybody turn it up (We gon' turn it up) [Verse 2: Aretha Franklin] I've been down and back and forth and side to side Now you're groovin', let's keep it movin' All around the world, let's get down tonight You gotta use it before you lose it, hey hey Don't forget to treat each day as if it were the last Life's too short for the blues Get your light to the fire Get this party started right It's time to break all of the rules [Chorus: John Legend & (Aretha Franklin)] What y'all came to do? Put on your dancin' shoes (Hey) Yeah, we about to burn it up Come on everybody burn it up I ain't got nothin' to prove (Yeah yeah) Ain't got nothin' to lose Yeah, we about to turn it up (Turn it up) Come on everybody turn it up [Bridge: Aretha Franklin & (John Legend)] John, you've got a chance, get up and dance now All you got to do is get up and move [Chorus: John Legend & (Aretha Franklin)] What y'all came to do? (What y'all came to do?) Put on your dancin' shoes Yeah, we about to burn it up (We 'bout to burn it up) Come on everybody burn it up (Everybody burn it up) I ain't got nothin' to prove Ain't got nothin' to lose (Nothin' to lose) Yeah, we about to turn it up (We 'bout to turn it up) Come on everybody turn it up (We gon' turn it up) What y'all came to do? (What y'all came to do?) Put on your dancin' shoes (Yes, sir) Yeah, we about to burn it up (We 'bout to burn it up) Come on everybody burn it up (Everybody burn it up) I ain't got nothin' to prove Ain't got nothin' to lose (I ain't got nothin' to lose) Yeah, we about to turn it up (We gon' turn it up) Come on everybody turn it up (Turn it up, John, turn it up) [Outro: Aretha Franklin & John Legend] I'm feeling good, yeah Oh yeah, it ain't all bad hanging out with you Gotta hook up one more time
