GET ETHNIC
(Summer/Diamond/Chiten/Smith/Henley, 1991)

Hit it
Say yeah
Say yeah, hey, yeah

Lying in the sun just trying to get a tan
(Chant)
Trying to find a look to go with the plan
(Chant)

Everybody's different
Everybody's got their thing
Spinman, give me a rhythm swing
Swing

You don't have to dance alone
You get on the floor and make yourself at home
Do anything you want to do
It's alright, it's all up to you

Chorus:
It doesn't matter what skin you're in
Come on, baby, let the groove begin
Get ethnic...all day
Get ethnic...all night
Gonna chill and ride the day out
People, let me tell you what it's all about
Get ethnic...all day
Get ethnic...all night long

Walk my way
(Chant)
Talk my way

This is a new direction
We're gonna take it to the street
Spinman, throw down a funky beat
Ooh, sweet

Don't really care where you come from
You may move to a different drum
Jump right in and take you place
We're all part of the human race

Chorus
Hey, yeah
All night

Get ethnic
Get ethnic
Get ethnic... all day
Get ethnic... 
Oh, let me tell you now, people
All night long

Get ethnic
Get ethnic
Let me tell you now, people
All day
Get ethnic
All night long

Like you mama do
And your daddy too
It's an attitude

Chorus

Taking it to the street

Chorus

Everybody's different
And we all have a song to sing
(Donna, hey, Donna)
Spinman, do your rhythm thing
Swing, swing
(Pass the beat
Pass the beat, come on)
Spinman, do your rhythm thing
Swing
(Pass the beat
Pass the beat, come on)
Babe, baby

Chorus

Come on, come on, baby
Smooth me out
Smooth me out
(Chant)

 

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


PONTE ÉTNICO
(Summer/Diamond/Chiten/Smith/Henley, 1991)

Dale caña
Decid sí
Decid sí, hey, sí

Tumbado al sol intentando broncearte
(Cántico)
Intentando encontrar una imagen que vaya con el plan
(Cántico)

Todo el mundo es diferente
Todo el mundo tiene su cosa
Hombre de la aguja, dame un ritmo con swing
Con swing

No tienes que bailar solo
Ve a la pista y siéntete como en casa
Haz lo que quieras hacer
Está muy bien, todo depende de ti

Estribillo:
No importa la piel en la que te encuentres
Vamos, cariño, deja que empiece la marcha
Ponte étnico... todo el día
Ponte étnico... toda la noche
Voy a refrescar y aguantar todo el día
Gente, dejadme deciros de qué va todo esto
Poneos étnicos... todo el día
Poneos étnicos... toda la noche

Camina a mi modo
(Cántico)
Habla a mi modo

Ésta es una nueva dirección
Vamos a llevarla a la calle
Hombre de la aguja, pon un ritmo funky
Ooh, dulce

En verdad no importa de dónde vengas
Puede que te muevas con un tambor distinto
Únete y toma tu lugar
Todos somos parte de la raza humana

Estribillo
Hey, sí
Toda la noche

Ponte étnico
Ponte étnico
Ponte étnico... todo el día
Ponte étnico
Oh, dejadme decíroslo ahora, gente
Toda la noche

Ponte étnico
Ponte étnico
Dejadme decíroslo ahora, gente
Todo el día
Ponte étnico
Toda la noche

Como hace tu mamá
Y tu papá también
Es una actitud

Estribillo

Llevándolo a la calle

Estribillo

Todo el mundo es diferente
Y todos tenemos una canción que cantar
(Donna, oye, Donna)
Hombre de la aguja, haz tu asunto del ritmo
Con swing, swing
(Pasa el ritmo
Pasa el ritmo, venga)
Hombre de la aguja, haz tu asunto del ritmo
Con swing
(Pasa el ritmo
Pasa el ritmo, venga)
Cariño, cariño

Estribillo

Venga, venga, cariño
Suavízame
Suavízame
(Cántico)
