Hey Baby - Bruce Channel
Dirty Dancing · Ultimate Dirty Dancing
hey, hey baby (uhh ahh)
I wanna know
if you'll be my girl
when I saw you walking
down the street
I said that's the kind of
gal I'd like to meet
she's so pretty
Lord, she's fine
I'm gonna make her mine, all mine
CHORUS
when you turned and
walked away
that's when I wanted to say
come on baby give me a whirl
I wanna know if you'll be my girl
CHORUS

It remains a staple for fans of the genre who appreciate the emotional depth and rhythmic complexity found in the work of these pioneering vocal groups.
