Lyrics

[Intro]
You remind me of the babe (What babe?)
Babe with the power (What power?)
Power of voodoo (Who do?)
You do (Do what?)
Remind me of the babe
[Verse 1]
I saw my baby cryin' hard as babe could cry
What could I do?
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue, nobody knew
[PreChorus]
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 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
[PreChorus]
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 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
[Chorus]
Dance, magic dance
Dance, magic dance
Dance, magic dance
Dance, magic dance
Put that baby spell on me
[Refrain]
You remind me of the babe (What babe?)
Babe with the power (What power?)
Power of voodoo (Who do?)
You do (Do what?)
Remind me of the babe
[Bridge]
Dance, magic dance, ooh, ooh, ooh
Dance magic
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 spell on me
Jump, magic jump
Jump, magic jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
[Chorus]
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
