Tra la la la la la  
Show me your motion

(Whenever you’re watching a hula girl dance,  
You gotta be careful, you’re temptin’ romance!  
Don’t keep your eyes on her hips,  
Her naughty hula hips,  
Just keep your eyes on the hands!)

I’m on tonight  
You know my hips don’t lie  
And I’m starting to feel you, boy  
Come on, let’s go, real slow  
Don’t you see, baby? Así es perfecto  
They know I’m on tonight  
My hips don’t lie  
And I’m starting to feel it’s right  
All the attraction, the tension  
Don’t you see baby? This is perfection

Out on the floor  
There ain’t nobody there but us  
Girl when you dance  
There’s a magic that must be love  
Just take it slow  
'Cause we got so far to go

We know we will.

Don’t know what’s coming tomorrow  
Maybe it’s trouble and sorrow  
But we’ll travel the road sharin’ our load  
Side by side

Heaven only knows, I’m really on the level  
Heaven only knows, I’m trying to find a way  
Heaven only knows, I’m walking down  
A straight and lonely road today

Here I go again on my own  
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known  
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone  
'Cause I know what it means  
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And it’s a hitchhike a hundred miles  
I’m a ragamuffin child  
Pointed finger, painted smile  
I left my shadow waitin’ down the road for me a while

</div>

Gonna hitch a ride  
Head for the other side  
Leave it all behind  
Never change my mind  
Gonna sail away  
Sun lights another day  
Freedom of my mind  
Carry me away for the last time

I’m sailing away,  
Set an open course for the virgin sea  
Cause’ I’ve got to be free,  
Free to face the life that’s ahead of me  
On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard  
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore  
And I’ll try  
Oh Lord, I’ll try  
Oh Lord, I’ll try  
To carry on

Old man rhythm is in my shoes  
It’s no use t’sittin’ and a-singin’ the blues  
So be my guest, you got nothin’ to lose  
Won’t ya let me take you on a sea cruise?

I wanna jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall  
I wanna holler but the joint’s too small  
Young man rhythm’s got a hold of me too  
I got the rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I heat up, I cool down  
I’ve got words in my head so I’ll say them  
Won’t let life get me down  
Catch a hold of my blues and just play them

I’ve got the music in me, I’ve got the music in me, I’ve got the music in me.  
I’ve got the music in me, I’ve got the music in me, I’ve got the music in me.

And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,  
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,  
Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street,  
Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.
