Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake your body line

My girl's name is Senora
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh brother
She's a hurry-cane in all kinds of weather

(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-OK, I believe you
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-OK, I believe you
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-OK, I believe you
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-Whoa

Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake your body line-Whoa
Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake itall the time
Work, work, work, senora, work your body line
Work, work, work, senora, work itall the time

You can talk about cha cha
Tango, waltz, or de rumba
Senora's dance has more title
You jump in the saddle
Hold on to de bridle

(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-OK, I believe you
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-Rock your body, child!
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-Somebody, help me!

Shake, shake, shake, senora, shake itall the time-Whoa
Work, work, work, senora, work your body line-Yep

Senora, she's a sensation
The reason for av-iation
And fellas, you got to watch it
When she wind up she bottom she go like a rocket

Come down in slow motion
