Johnnie Taylor Disco Lady Lyrics:
[Johnnie with Girls (a little out of synch):]
Shake it up, shake it down,
Move it in, move it around,
Disco lady.

Move it in, move it out,
Move in, 'round about,
Disco lady.

[Johnnie:]
Shake it up, shake it down,
Move it in, move it around,
Disco lady. Well...

Hey, sexy lady. Ooom!
Said, I like the way you move your thing.
Lord, have mercy, girl.
You dance so fine and you're right on time.
Girl you ought to be on T.V.,
On Soul Train [3] .
When you get th' groove,
There ain't no stompin'.
Just can't help it,
But, I'm finger popin'.

[Both together:]
Shake it up, shake it down,
Move it in, move it 'round,
Disco lady. Well...
