Kick and Spin

Ohhh
Kick and spin.
Ain’t no sin
Yahh come on in
When I kick and spin.
 
Dance and prance
Watched by all
Queen of the ball
When I kick and spin.
 
 Twirl and whirl
Twirl and twist
I get kissed
When I kick and spin.
 
Saturday night.
All feels right.
The turntables spin.
Come on in.
 
You’ve had some food.
You’re in the mood
Bursting full of music
Kick your legs.
 
Raise your feet.
Absorb the beat.
The music throbs inside me.
The beat sets me free.
 
You can see my soul.
When I rock and roll.

Heart pumps a beat
Racing marching feet.
Pose in your clothes.
You are my rose.
 
Spin around and around. 
The DJ slows us down.
Idle and wait.
With my date.  
 
Such a thrill
Feet spin twist and drill
Through the floor.
Scream out for more.
 
Throw arms in the air.
Drift know not where.
