(Oh, yeah) come on, children
(Oh, yeah) hey


Can you do the Jerk
Come on, let's work
Move your shoulders up and down

Your feet don't leave the ground

Anyone can do it

Friends, there's nothing to it
If you're young or old
All it takes is soul


And I just wanna know
Can you Jerk like me

Come on, children, hey
(Can you Jerk like me)
Come on, children now

(Can you Jerk like me)
Hey, baby, I just wanna know
Can you Jerk like me, hey, baby


Get right back in the groove
Like I said, your feet don't move

Get a hump down in your back
Take off all the slack


Come on, let's work
Snap your fingers
Make your backbone jerk

Now you got that feeling
Cause the music got you reeling


And I just wanna know
Can you Jerk like me
Come on, children

(Can you Jerk like me)
Hey, baby (can you Jerk like me)
I just wanna know

Can you Jerk like me, hey, baby
Ow, it's all right


I just wanna know
(Can you Jerk like me)
Hey, baby


Now you roll back in the groove
Like I said, your feet don't move

Come on (oh, yeah) let's work
Snap those fingers
Make your backbone jerk


Now you got that feeling
Cause the music's got you reeling


I just wanna know
(Can you Jerk like me)

Hey, baby
(Can you Jerk like me)
Come on, children

(Can you Jerk like me)
Hey, baby
(Can you Jerk like me)

Come on, children now...
