She's got legs
She knows how to use them
She never begs
She knows how to choose them

She's holdin' legs
Wonderin' how to feel them
Would you get behind them?
If you could only find them

She's my baby
She's my baby

Yeah, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Alright

She's got hair
Down to her fanny
She's kinda jet set
Try undo her panties

Every time she's dancin'
She knows what to do
Everybody wants to see
To see if she can use it

She's so fine
She's all mine

Girl, you got it right
So right
You got it right
Alright

[Incomprehensible]

She's got legs
She knows how to use them
She never begs
She knows how to choose them

She's got a dime
All of the time
Stays out at night movin'
Through time

Oh, I want her
So, I got to have her

That girl's alright
She's alright
She's alright
Right, right, right, girl
Baby, alright

[Inaudible]
