My

Work, work,

Work, work, work, senora, work itall the

You can talk about cha cha
Tango, waltz, or de rumba

And fellas, you got to watch it
When she wind up she
bottom she go like a rocket

(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-OK,

And when she gets the sensation

Come down in slow motion
