== Lyrics ==
<blockquote>Feel that sound coming up through the ground.

It's in your fingers and toes.

A buzzing beat in the Hi-5 street.

Come on, let's put on a show!

Start the trumpets,

Bang the drums.

Hi-5 is coming to town.

We want some fun,

Wanna dance in the sun.

Everyone, come gather 'round!

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, celebrate.

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, hey!

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, celebrate.

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate today!

Got a new groove,

Brought a new move.

So many things to celebrate.

Like learning to skip,

Got your fingers to click.

Let's have a dance off!

I can't wait!

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, celebrate.

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, hey!

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, celebrate.

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate today!

Go, [[Bailey Spalding|Bailey]]!

[[Body Move Segment|Body move]]'s all my favourite groove!

Go, [[Joe Kalou|Joe]]!

[[Making Music Segment|Making music]] makes you move!

Go, [[Shay Clifford|Shay]]!

[[Puzzles And Patterns Segment|Puzzles and patterns]] is my thing!

Go, [[Courtney Clarke|Courtney]]!

[[Word Play Segment|Word play]] really makes me sing!

Go, [[Lachie Dearing|Lachie]]!

[[Shapes In Space Segment|Shapes in space]] is my vibe!

And together, we're [[Hi-5 (Australia)|Hi-5]]!

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, celebrate.

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, hey!

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate, celebrate.

It's a Hi-5 dance off.

Celebrate today!</blockquote>

<blockquote>Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.

One plus one is two, And that is me and you. One plus two is three, 'Cause we create a family. One plus three is four, Together we are so much more. Put us all together, And we're a family.

Put us together and what do you see? We're a family. Put us together and what do you see? We're a family, we're a family.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.

We play together, We talk on the phone, We're always connected, Even if we're on our own. My sister, my father, My brother, my gran, My mum and my aunties, My uncles and my friends.

Put us together and what do you see? We're a family. Put us together and what do you see? We're a family, we're a family.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.

My heart's talking to your heart, Hear the sound it makes. Listen closely to your heart. Hey, what does it say? It goes:

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. Everybody! Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.

Put us together and what do you see? We're a family. Put us together and what do you see? We're a family, we're a family.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom. Boom-boom.</blockquote>
