Mojito, oh my darling... my darling
Mojito, oh my darling... darling
Inside your heart, in your heartbeat
I'm the one striking a rhythm
Hey, get moving, get moving
In new places, on the dance floor
I'm the one rocking the show
Ah, step aside, step aside
A brand new, one-of-a-kind
Style I'll take on, all right
Hey, get moving, get moving
Just for me, all my own
I'll pave my own path, Starlight
Whoa...
Twinkle, twinkle, little star... little star
A single guy in the bar... check me out
Up above the world so high... world so high
Like a starlight in the sky
Mojito, oh my darling... my darling
Mojito, oh my darling... darling
Look who's arrived, take it a step at a time
But ain't nothing a step that he couldn't define
He's a walking attraction, got the camera flashin'
'Cause the starlight's bright when it's built off the, uh
Passion inspired by the age of Jackson
Golden era, and I'm scoring the chance
To go capture the light, this is a mukabla (face-off)
And I'll bring on the fight
