Lyrics

I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight Put on your best dress tonight Did you hear what the man said, baby Well be your best 'cause this gonna be a musical test So come to school, and I take up the musical rule Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters Come to I and maybe you can make it if you try So be wise and be changing, put on your best Because I got your musical key Rub it baby, I said scrub it, yeah 'Cause I'm tougher than tough And I ain't no bluff Maybe it's because I've got the musical stuff I'm gonna make you the talk of the town No use wearing a frown Though those other guys may put you down I'm gonna let you wear my crown Though those other guys may put you down You'll wear my crown Wow! Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow-wow-wow Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters Don't beg for no mercy Move it up, break it up Tell you 'bout it, it's good Wow! She's got it, she's got it She's got it, she's got it Though those other guys may put you down I'm gonna let you wear my crown And we gonna have a musical ball So get on the ball and don't stall I beg you baby Wow! Tell you about it, it's good I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight Put on your best dress tonight That's for sure Play brand-new musical discs From the flick of my wrist, baby Wow! Tell you about it, she's got it She's got it, she's got it, she's got it, wow Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow-wow-wow I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight Put on your best dress tonight I'm gonna make you the talk of the town No use wearing a frown
