Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance.
(Rap:) Just get on the floor and do the New Kids' dance.
Don't worry 'bout nothing 'cause it won't take long.
(Rap:) We're gonna put you in a trance with a funky song,
'cause you gotta be
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
(Rap:) We're rough.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Everybody's always talkin' 'bout who's on top.
(Rap:) Don't cross our path 'cause you're gonna get stomped.
We ain't gonna give anybody any slack.
(Rap:) And if you try to keep us down we're gonna come right back,
and you know we're
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
(Rap:) Are you tough enough?
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
(Rap:) We're rough.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Get loose everybody 'cause we're gonna do our thing.
(Rap:) 'Cause you know it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
(Rap:) Are you tough enough?
Hangin' tough, hangin' tough, hangin' tough.
(Rap:) We're rough.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, just hangin' tough, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hangin' tough.
(repeat & fade)

    General Comment:Last night I think aliens abducted my body and took over my brain for a while. Today, I'm feeling much better. Glad to get out of that horrible funk. Got better news that changed everything. Just heard this on the radio, made me feel like a kid again!! Don't ask my why I'm looking up the lyrics, curious really. These guys have actually reunited and are touring again. Good for them but it's kind of scary for obvious resons..

    General Comment:tedthehead, that takes balls since YOU are on here reading this page too. I'd call you a fag but that would be degrading gay people by lumping you in with them. Moron.

    ANYWAY...

    Yeah this is not really my favorite song, actually, out of the entire album this has got to be the poorest song they've done in terms of lyrical composition and overall quality. I mean come on, the Coca-Cola ad they did at the beginning of the video for the step by step tour was better than this.
