I'm a background singer in a real cool band
I move and I groove right behind the man
I'm a background singer, I love what I sing
Listen to me, baby, I'm doing my thing

Hey, hey, whoa, whoa
Oh yeah, sha-la-la-la-la
Hey, hey, whoa, whoa
Oh yeah, sha-la-la-la-la

I'm a background singer, I won't tell you lies
I love to have the spotlight shining in my eyes
I'm a background singer, I love what I do
Night after night, I'm going to sing for you

Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Whoa, whoa (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Sha-la-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la-la)

Hey, hey (hey, Hey)
Whoa, whoa (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Sha-la-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la-la)

I'm a background singer in a real cool band

Listen to me baby, I'm doing my thing
