Power Of The Babe
David Bowie · Other Songs - David Bowie
(What babe?)
The babe with the power
(What power?)
The power of voodoo
(Who do?)
You do
(Do what?)
Remind me of the babe
I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do?
My baby’s love had gone
And left my baby blue, nobody knew
What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
(Put that baby’s spell on me)
(Jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump
(Jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump
(Put that magic jump on me, slap that baby make him free)
I saw my baby trying hard as babe could try
What could I do?
My baby’s fun had gone and left my baby blue
Nobody knew
What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
(Dance Magic, Dance) (x4)
(Jump Magic, Jump) (x2)
Put that baby’s spell on me
You remind me of the babe
(What babe?)
The babe with the power
(What power?)
The power of voodoo
(Who do?)
You do
(Do what?)
Remind me of the babe
(Dance magic, dance oh, oh, oh)
(Dance magic)
(Dance magic)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Dance magic)
What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dog tails
Thunder or lightening
Something frightening
(Dance magic, dance)
(Dance magic, dance)
(Put that baby’s spell on me)
(Jump magic, jump)
(Jump magic, jump)
(Put that magic jump on me, slap that baby make him free)
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
(Dance magic)
(slap that baby make him free)
(Dance magic, dance) 2x
Dance magic, dance
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
(Dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
