[Intro]
You remind me of the babe (What babe?)
The babe with the power (What power?)
The power of voodoo (Who do?)
You do (Do what?)
Remind me of the babe
[Verse 1]
I saw my baby
Crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do?
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew
[Pre-Chorus]
What kind of magic spell to use?
(Slime and snails?)
Or puppy dog tails?
(Thunder or lightning?)
Then baby said
[Chorus]
(Dance, magic dance) Dance, magic dance
(Dance, magic dance) Dance, magic dance
Put that baby's spell on me
(Jump, magic jump) Jump, magic jump
(Jump, magic jump) Jump, magic jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free!
[Verse 2]
I saw my baby
Trying hard as babe could try
What could I do?
My baby's fun had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew
[Pre-Chorus]
What kind of magic spell to use?
(Slime and snails?)
Puppy dogs' tails?
(Thunder or lightning?)
Then baby said
[Chorus]
(Dance, magic dance) Dance, magic dance
(Dance, magic dance) Dance, magic dance
Put that baby's spell on me
(Jump, magic jump) Jump, magic jump
(Jump, magic jump) Jump, magic jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free!
(Dance, magic dance) Dance, magic dance
(Dance, magic dance) Dance, magic dance
Put that baby's spell on me
[Bridge 1]
You remind me of the babe (What babe?)
The babe with the power (What power?)
The power of voodoo (Who do?)
You do (Do what?)
Remind me of the babe
Dance, magic dance, ooh-ooh-ooh
Dance, magic
[Bridge 2]
What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails?
Or puppy dog tails?
Thunder or lightning?
Something frightening?
[Chorus]
Dance, magic dance
Dance, magic dance
Put that baby's spell on me
Jump, magic jump
Jump, magic jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
[Alt. Chorus]
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Jump, magic jump (Jump, magic jump)
Jump, magic jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, slap that
Slap that baby, make him free
[Outro]
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)
Dance, magic dance (Dance, magic dance)...
