Am                     Em
A little story about a boy I used to know 
Am                          Em
Always fascinated by the sounds on the radio
 Am                           Em
Late at night with the moon up high
       Am                         Em
He listened to the bass bump and stared up at the sky singing


[Pre-Chorus]
  Am                           Em
'Hold up! I like the way it sounds
       Am                       Em
Please Mr. DJ keep the record spinning round
     Am                       Em
Hold up! I like I like the way it moves
       Am                        Em
Spin it like ya got something to prove

[Chorus]
       Am            Em              
Mr. Operator don't stop
                 Am                    Em
The night is young and the dancehall's hot
     Am               Em     
Mr. Operator don't quit
              Am              
Cause that could be a crime that you
                Em
don't wanna commit   (yea..)

[Verse 2]
Am                     Em                            
A little story 'bout a girl around the way
 Am                     Em                           
Had that music blasting in her room every day
        Am                     Em                    
Late at night when she supposedly slept
            Am                     Em                
Little white lies out the window she crept singing
                            
[Pre-Chorus]
  Am                           Em
'Hold up! I like the way it sounds
       Am                       Em
Please Mr. DJ keep the record spinning round
     Am                       Em
Hold up! I like I like the way it moves
       Am                        Em
Spin it like ya got something to prove

[Chorus]
       Am            Em              
Mr. Operator don't stop
                 Am                    Em
The night is young and the dancehall's hot
     Am               Em     
Mr. Operator don't quit
              Am              
Cause that could be a crime that you
                Em
don't wanna commit   (no..)
