Live performance[edit | edit source]

"Pumpin' on the Dance Floor" is only known to have been played live a single time during a January 1992 radio show for the radio station WTSR in Trenton, NJ with Ed Wilson on lead guitar alongside Dean. They only perform about a minute, with the backing track being cut off by Gene saying "nah man, it sucks, never wanna do that song".[1]

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Hey-yay-yay-yow
Hey-yay-yay

Here's a new sound pumpin' on the floor
Kickin' in the groove and dance
Pump it up to the bass and drum
Swingin' around to your new romance
At the party the jam gets hard
Hits to your mind like a cup of lard
DJ's spinning cuts so deep
Party's jumping to the right and left

Pump your body, pump, pump, pump, pump
Pump your body, get your body hot
Come on

Prepare for the new sound
Get on down as the music fills your mind
Feel my rhyme
Jump to your feet and holler for more
As my DJ's pumpin' on the dance floor

Pumpin' on the dance floor
Pumpin' on the dance floor
Pumpin' on the dance floor
Pumpin' on the dance floor

1991
Kickin' hard, you know
Ween in the house, it's in control
Chillin', groovin', movin',
Working, live, direct, straight
To your soul in the place to be
And jam hard, pump it up
And dance with a poopie in your mouth
You dick, eat shit
Goddamn punk
Fuck you motherfucking bastard

Yeah
In the house, Ween live and direct
1991, the place to be
Cold chillin'

Pumpin' on the dance floor (Pumpin' on the dance floor) Pumpin' on the dance floor (Pumpin' on the dance floor) Pumpin' on the dance floor (Pumpin' on the dance floor) Pumpin' on the dance floor Pumpin' on
