Lyrics / Paroles

Michael
Oh babe
Do it baby

Jackson 5
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
She's a dancin' machine

Michael
Oh babe
Move it baby

Automatic, systematic
Full of color selfcontained
Tuned and channeled to your vibes
Captivating, stimulating
She's such a sexy lady
Built with space-age design

Jermaine
She's movin', she's groovin'
Dancin' until the music stops now, yeah

Michael
Rhythmatic, acrobatic
She's a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive, yeah
She knows what she's doin'
She's super bad now
She's geared to really blow your mind

Jackson 5
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
She's a dancin' machine

Michael
Oh baby, do it baby

Jackson 5
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
She's a dancin' machine

Michael
Oh baby, move it baby

Jackson 5
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancin' machine
Watch her get down
Watch her get down, as she'll do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancin' machine
Watch her get down
Watch her get down, as she'll do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
