The song's lyrics:
This is international,The Wikipedia article about the song The Time (Dirty Bit) includes the following passages.
Big mega-radio smasher.
I had the time of my life,
And I've never felt this way before,
And I swear, this is true,
And I owe it all to you.
Dirty bit.
I came up in here to rock,
Light a fire, make it hot.
I don't want to take no pictures.
I just want to take some shots.
So, come on, let's go,
Let's lose control.
Let's do it all night --
'Til we can't do it no more.
People rocking to the sound.
Turn it up and watch it pound.
We're going to rock it to the top,
Until the roof come burning down.
Yeah, it's hot in here.
The temperature
Has got these ladies.
Getting freakier.
I got freaky, freaky, baby.
I was chilling with my ladies.
I didn't come to get bozy;
I came here to get crazy.
I was born to get wild.
That's my style.
If you didn't know that --
Well, Baby, now you know now --
Because I'm having a good time
With you --
I'm telling you,
I had the time of my life ...
All these girls, they like my swagger;
They're calling me Mick Jagger.
I be rolling like a Stone
Jet-setter, jet-lagger.
We ain't messing with no maggots
Messing with the baddest
Chicks in the club
Honey, what's up?
Mirror, mirror on the wall --
Who's the baddest of them all?
Yeah, it's got to be the Apple
I'm the Mac daddy, y'all.
Haters better step back.
Ladies, don't load your app.
I'm the party application --
Rocking just like that
