When there's some action
You can bet who'll be there starrin' in the show
Gets a reaction
The lady turns those heads 'round everywhere she goes
There ain't a man who wouldn't like to detonate her
You can't resist that burnin' fuse walkin' by
She'll get the party jumpin'
Sets every motor runnin' wild
A thousand megatons
She's the bomb!

Leads every fashion
With a deadly skill she dresses up to kill
Hot walkin' passion
Gonna make you, break you, the queen of every thrill
No time for talkin', she's a motion motivator
Filled up with feelin's that you wanna ignite
She'll get the party jumpin'
Sets every motor runnin' wild
A thousand megatons
She's the bomb!

Just watch her glidin' out on the floor
You can't be sure you'll survive
(You can't be sure you're alive)
She'd lead a nation right into war
Set all the world on fire

You can't disarm her
Girl's a super mover-blows up every beat
She's such a charmer
Always makes earthquakes that knock you off your feet
This little body is the cause of great eruptions
She's got the fallout that starts makin' you high
Girl get's a party jumpin'
Sets every motor runnin' wild
A thousand megatons
She's the bomb!

Watch out
You know this missile's loaded
Look out
Here she comes
Watch out
The lady is explodin'
Look out
A thousand megatons-
She's the Bomb!

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor from Chicago, Illinois.

In 1960 he began working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins. He recorded his first solo album “Takin' Off” for Blue Note Records in 1962. “Watermelon Man”. Thanks to the album he caught the attention of Miles Davis, who asks, in May 1963, Hancock to join his Second Great Quintet.

In the sixties he records two important albums in jazz “Empyrean Isles” (1964) and “Maiden Voyage” (1965), both for Blue Note. During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
