About She Can Rock It

"She Can Rock It" is a song by the Power Station. Released as their only single from their 1996 album Living in Fear, it was the band's fourth and final single. It featured "Power Trippin'" as its b-side, a rock-funk song written by the band for the US version of the album, and also "Charanga" written by Palmer. "Charanga" was released in 1998 on the Robert Palmer compilation album, Woke Up Laughing. While promoting the single, the band was asked to change a tongue-in-cheek rude line in the song on an American talk show. They refused and the song was never played on the show. The band also recorded a live performance for Top of the Pops. Despite this the single spent one week at number 63 on the UK Singles Chart.

She got goose-egg power-chords
And a nasty 2 & 4, she can rock it
She can tap in 32
She can show you her tattoo - she can rock it

What good's a rock without a roll?
It's a sorry lookin' donut if it doesn't have a hole
She gets so hot, she's infra-red
She can show you a position that's prohibited

She's got kisses like cocaine
She's got access to a plane - she can rock it
Check out her anatomy
In her trashy lingerie - she can rock it

She's got an axe, she's got a rig
You know she'll never miss a beat-
And she ain't never missed a gig
She'll pin you down, she'll knock you out
She can wrestle with your ego
'Til your pride goes out

She can rock it
She's a shake that comes with fries
Never listens to your lies - she can rock it
She can set your pants on fire
She can strip you to the wire - she can rock it

She can nail you to a frame
Say that you're the one to blame - she can rock it
She can tell you what to wear
She can strip your conscience bare
She can rock it
