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

Everbody 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 onand sing along!
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (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
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

All night long! (all night)

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!
Oh, yes
We're going to have a party!

All night long! (all night)

They're jamming in the street
All night long!

They're jamming in the street
All night long!
