Dancing, dancing, dancing
She’s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Automatic Systematic
Full of color self contained
Tuned and gentle to your vibes

Captivating Stimulating
She said you sexy lady
Filled with space age design

She’s moving
She’s grooving dancing until the music stop now
yea

Rythmetic acrobatic
She’s a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive
Yeah
She knows what she’s doing
She super bad now
She’s geared to blow your mind

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She’s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Do it baby

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She’s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

She’s a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

She’s a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

Come on babe
Come on babe
babe
babe
Shake it baby
Shake it babe
babe
babe
babe

Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance

I like it
I like
I love you
She’s a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

She’s a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
