[Verse 1]
All along the Western front
People line up to receive
She got the power in her hand
To shock you like you won't believe

Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel"
I said, "Ooh, girl!
Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel"
[Verse 2]

Baby girl

Shock me like an electric eel
Baby girl
Turn me on with your electric feel"
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]

Do what you feel now!
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now!
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now!
Electric feel now
Do what you feel now!
