Check out my Knife girl,

Was the name of the jam,

Don't you know Pump it up,
You've got to Pump it up 'n'

So I can feel it,
You know you can,
I've got my groove on,
And I'm ready to go,
Check out my Knife Girl,
But don't touch my Radio,

[Chorus: x3]

And makes me feel good,
Feel so good
And make me feel good,
Feels so good,
Feels so good,
