Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Show me how to do like you)
(If you say please)
(Please)
[Verse 2]
Since age one, Keita knew he had the answer
And it was that someday he'd be a dancer
And with help from his sis
Surely, that boy would not miss
From being the baddest dancer in the whole neighborhood
[Verse 3]
Late at night when he was supposed to be sleeping
You could hear the pitter-patter of feet creeping
To where music would play
To his sister, he would say
Before his father said, hey boy, get right back in that bed
[Verse 4]
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it, oh whoa
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Whoa, whoa, yeah, show me how to do like you
Hey
[Verse 5]
Once at school, they put on a talent contest
To find out who could really boogie the best
But his mama said, no
Keita's much too young to go
But his sister said, please let him go so the world can see
[Verse 6]
When they saw him, they said he must be crazy
Look at him, he ain't nothin' but a baby
But soon as he began
You knew the contest he would win
Because everyone in the audience began to cheer, ow
[Verse 7]
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Mmm, mmm, ah
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it, oh, oh, ow, ow
[Verse 8]
(Can you rock, can you rock, can you rock around the clock?)
Show me how to do like you
(Can you rock?) Show me how to do it
(Can you rock, can you rock, can you rock around the clock?)
Show me how to do like you
(Can you rock?) Ow, ow
[Verse 9]
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it
Show me how to do like you
Show me how to do it, yeah
[Verse 10]
(Can you rock, can you rock, can you rock around the clock?)
Show me how to do like you
(Can you rock?) Show me how to do it
(Can you rock, can you rock, can you rock around the clock)
Show me how to do like you, ooh, yeah
[Verse 11]
(Ooh, you done broke Mama's lamp)
(Uh-uh) (Yes, you did) (No, I didn't)
