[Intro Chorus: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
Dancing, dancing, dancing
She's a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it, baby

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
Automatic systematic
Full of color self contained
Tuned and channeled to your vibes
Captivating stimulating
She's such a sexy lady
Filled with space age design
She's moving
She's grooving, dancing until the music stops now
Yeah
Rythmatic acrobatic
She's a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive, yeah
She knows what she's doing
She super bad now
She's geared to really blow your mind

[Chorus: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
Dancing, dancing, dancing
She's a dancing machine
Ah baby
Do it, baby
Dancing, dancing, dancing
She's a dancing machine
Ah baby
Move it, baby
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
Baby
Ooh baby
Shake it, baby
Shake it, baby
Baby
Ooh baby

[Outro: Jackson 5]
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
She's a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

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.
