[Verse 1: Michael + Jermaine]
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 time
She's two girls in one
And she sure twice the fun

[Chorus: Jackson 5 + (Michael)]
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

[Verse 2: Michael + Jermaine]
Play some funky music
Then 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

[Chorus: Jackson 5 + (Michael)]
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

[Outro: Jackson 5 + (Michael) + Jermaine]
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, yeah)
She's a dancer, romancer
She'll drive you wild
As she'll do, do, do, do, do her thing (she'll drive you wild)
She's rhythm, rhythm
Sweet rhythm (sweet rhythm)
She's a dancer, romancer
She'll drive you wild
As she'll do, do, do, do, do her thing
She's rhythm, rhythm
Sweet rhythm

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
