The Rhythm

And for all of the sweet loving that

I have received

In the sun in the rain

By the moon by the sea

There is one time that I'm thinking of

One time where one woman

Did knock me off my feet

And my knees were shaking

And my jaw was dropping

And my eyes were squinting

And my smile was growing

And my pants were bulging

And my hands were sweating

And my chest was beating

So I cry 'excuse me,

What is the secret to your song?'

Cause when you're walking along

When you're walking along:

Your legs are a melody my hands

Would like to play

And your hips are a note

That does take me away

And your face and your eyes and your hair

And your waist and your smile

Drive me to distraction

She turned and she gave the evil eye

'why thankyou' she said

Then she sigh 'ah there's one thing

I think you failed to mention:'

'What?' I said then she said

'It's the rhythm you forgot'

And right then I knew what was what

And she snuck to my lips

And she kissed them

Said 'young man

I'll show you some rhythm'

And she'll show you some rhythm

And since then ha

The rhythm's been running through my veins

In my thoughts in my eyes

In my head it's insane

It's the thing that does drive me

To scream

On the street when I think of some

Places it's taken me

I feel horny when I thinking of some of that rhythm in my mind

What she gave what she gives to me

All of the time

Say a little bit of sweet loving in your day

All my friends know it keeps the

Bad thoughts away

So sing with your hips my baby

When you're dancing to this tune

And when this tune is through

We'll sneak to some place

And continue to:

Say sing with your hips my baby

When you're dancing to this tune

And when this tune is through

We'll sneak to some place and

Continue to -

She said I'll show you some rhythm

And she'll show you some rhythm
