[Intro] Bama-lama, hey now Kick that door My baby got the whole room asking for more Piano jumping like a cat on a rail Sax man holler and the floorboards wail [Verse 1] She came in laughing with a red bow tie One quick wink and the sparks flew high She tipped her hat, said, “Catch me if you can” Then spun me twice with the palm of her hand [Hook] Bama-lama baby, shake that sugar loose Bama-lama baby, work my dancin' shoes Hey-ba, hey-ba, stomp it to the wall When she starts moving, mercy on us all [Verse 2] She got a walk like a runaway train A laugh so sharp it can rattle your brain She taps one heel and the whole band jumps Bass starts walking and the drummer thumps [Hook] Bama-lama baby, shake that sugar loose Bama-lama baby, light the short fuse Hey-ba, hey-ba, toss that ribbon down She can turn a sleepy room upside down [Break] Go, piano, go Let that backbeat roll Saxophone, testify Take it up, take it high [Bridge] I brought two dollars and a polished shoe Left with neither when the night was through She stole my comb, then she stole my chair I’d lose them twice just to keep her there [Final Hook] Bama-lama baby, shake that sugar loose Bama-lama baby, light the short fuse Hey-ba, hey-ba, tear across the floor Kick once, spin twice, come back for more Bama-lama Ram-a-jam-a Hey now, don’t you stop Bama-lama Ram-a-jam-a Take it to the top [Outro] Shake that sugar loose!
