[Intro]
Oh, baby
Do it, baby
Dancin', dancin', dancin'
She's a dancin' machine
Ah, babe
Move it, baby (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
[Verse 1]
Automatic, systematic (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
Full of color, self-contained (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
Tuned and channeled to your vibes (Ooh bop tiddley bop) (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
Captivating, stimulating (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
She's such a sexy lady (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
Filled with space-age design (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
[Interlude]
She's movin', she's groovin'
Dancin' until the music stops now
Yeah-yeah (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
[Verse 2]
Rhythamatic, acrobatic (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
She's a dynamite attraction (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
At the drop of a coin, she comes alive (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
Ye-eah (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
She knows what she's doin' (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
She's super bad now (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
She's geared to really blow your mind (Ooh bop tiddley bop)
[Instrumental Break]
