“Powder for the Floor” lyrics

Move your body, powder for the floor
(Powder for the floor)
Auntie dey dance pass the young girls
(Pass the young girls)
DJ rewind am one more time
(One more time)
Move your body, no dey shy

The hall get one small ceiling fan
E dey turn like say e dey tire
Chairman table get the big cake
Nobody don cut am since three
The MC dey call out the names
Spraying money like confetti rain
My shoe don white with the powder
The speaker dey push my chest

Hands up if your leg dey pain you
Hands up if your leg dey pain you
But you no go sit down
But you no go sit down

Move your body, powder for the floor
(Powder for the floor)
Auntie dey dance pass the young girls
(Pass the young girls)
DJ rewind am one more time
(One more time)
Move your body, no dey shy

Uncle loose him agbada small
Him dey do the old school step
The children copy am for the corner
Dem sef dey spray biscuit paper
The bride don change her second dress
Her shoe dey inside her hand
The photographer don give up posing us
Him just dey catch us as we be

Move am
(Hey!)
Move am
(Hey!)

Powder settle on the table
One left shoe lost under the chairs
Papa photo dey watch us dance
Na him say make nobody cry
Last song na him favourite own

Move your body, powder for the floor
(Powder for the floor)
Auntie dey dance pass the young girls
(Pass the young girls)
DJ rewind am one more time
(One more time)
Move your body, no dey shy
(No dey shy, no dey shy!)

One slipper for the floor
Move your body
