Sister , Sparkle , Delores : [singing] And now you jump, We're gonna shake a little funk, You're doing fine, And now you're right on time, Have a ball, I hope my mama don't call, Know the rules, We're gonna keep it in the groove, Baby, you're all for me, Cause your moving just sets me free, I love the way you party hard, Don't want nothing to tear us apart, Tell you now, I ain't too proud too beg, Hope my partner loves to shake a leg...
