See her twist and turnin’
Now her fuse is burnin’
Dynamite in action
So much satisfaction

So exciting, she never does unwind
Keeps rockin’ all the tme
She’s two girls in one
And she sure twice the fun

She’s a rhythm child (she’ll drive you wild)
She’s a rhythm child (set your soul on fire)
She’s a rhythm child, rhythm child (sexy)
Rhythm child, rhythm child
Just watch her dance, she’ll turn you on, make you wanna do it

Place of funky music
They just watch her do it
Dancin’ up a storm
Burnin’ up the floor

Ooh sexy baby, I keep you on my mind
You stay there all the time
You’re two girls in one
And you’re sure twice the fun

She’s a rhythm child (ooh,ooh sexy baby)
She’s a rhythm child (sexy)
She’s a dancer, romancer
She ‘ll drive you wild (she’ll drive you wild)
As she’ll do, do, do, do, do her thing

She’s rhythm, rhythm
Sweet rhythm (she’s sweet rhythm)
