Hello, hello, come on, come on, dance with me!
Here I am, your only partner, to dance with you!
Sweet sixteen, come along with me!
Don't miss me this evening!
Hey you, touch me, the thrill rises, come, come!
Hello, hello, come on, come on, dance with me!
Here I am, your only partner, to dance with you!
Thattha thattha thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thaarath thaarath thaa
With the playful charm of a jasmine flower,
Dance away to the jazz music, hoy!
Thattha thattha thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thaarath thaarath thaa
Putting on your baggy pants,
Go searching and do your part, hoy!
If desire runs wild,
The clothes will slip away!
If the clothes slip away,
Desire will fade away!
Sweet sixteen, come along with me!
Don't miss me this evening!
Hey you, touch me, the thrill rises, come, come!
Hello, hello, come on, come on, dance with me!
Here I am, your only partner, to dance with you!
Sweet sixteen, come along with me!
Don't miss me this evening!
Hey you, touch me, the thrill rises, come, come!
Thattha thattha thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thaarath thaarath thaa
Hello, hello, come on, come on, dance with me!
Here I am, your only partner, to dance with you!
Touch it and it sings a melody,
This body of love is like a keyboard!
Thattha thattha thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thattha thattha
Thadatha thaarath thaarath thaa
Tap on it and see, it keeps the beat,
Hey, what are you, a conga drum?
All the melodies never sung before,
As I sing them, you sing along!
All the rhythms never played before,
As I set the beat, dance along!
Sweet sixteen, come along with me!
Don't miss me this evening!
Hey you, touch me, the thrill rises, come, come!
Hello, hello, come on, come on, dance with me!
Here I am, your only partner, to dance with you!
Sweet sixteen, come along with me!
Don't miss me this evening!
Hey you, touch me, the thrill rises, come, come!
Hello, hello, come on, come on, dance with me!
Here I am, your only partner, to dance with you!
