Rock steady baby!
Thats what I feel now
Lets call this song exactly what it is

Step n move your hips
With a feelin from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride

And while youre movin
Rock steady
Rock steady baby
Lets call this song exactly what it is
(What it is -what it is - what it is)

Its a funky and low down feelin
(What it is)
In my hips from left to right
(What it is)
What it is
Is I might be doin
(What it is)
This funky dance all night
Oh!
(Let me hear ya gotta feelin in the air)
Oh!
(Gotta a feelin an aint got a care)
Oh!
(What fun to take this ride
Rock steady will only slide)

Rock steady........ rock steady baby
Rock steady........ rock steady baby

(Instrumental)

Step and move your hips
With a feelin from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride
While youre movin rock steady
Rock steady

Lets call this song exactly what it is
(What it is -what it is - what it is)
Its a funky and low down feelin
(What it is)
In my hips from left to right
(What it is)
What it is - is I might be doin
(What it is)
This funky dance all night
Oooooooooooooh

Got the feelin an aint got a care)
Oooooooooooooh

Is I might be doin
This funky dance all night

Oooooooooooooh

Oooooooooooooh
