[Intro]

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake

Woah, she's an angel from the Innerlake

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake

Oh, she's an angel from the Innerlake

(Oh, don't you dance with her Henry, don'you dance with her Jake)

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake

Oh, she's an angel from the Innerlake

(Gimme all the love any good man can take)

Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake

Woah, she's an angel from the Innerlake


[Verse 1]

Thundercrack, baby's back

This time she'll tell me how she really feels

Bring me down to her lightning shack

You can watch my partner reelin'


[Chorus]

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina


[Verse 2]

She's straight from the Bronx, hung off a line

She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds

Even them dance hall hacks from the west side of the tracks

Move in close to catch her timin'


[Chorus]

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina


[Post-Chorus]

Oh, she ain't no little girl, no, she ain't got no curls

Her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either

Round and round and round and round

And round and round and round and round

And round and round and round and round

And round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter

She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright

Dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner, 'til the dawn

Baby, all night long


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 1]

Thundercrack, baby's back

This time she'll tell me how she really feels

Bring me down to her lightning shack

You can watch my partner reelin'


[Chorus]

She moves up, she moves back

Out on the floor there just is no one cleaner

She does this thing she calls the "Jump Back Jack"

She's got the heart of a ballerina


[Post-Chorus]

Oh, she ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls

Her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either

Round and round and round and round

And round and round and round and round

And round and round and round and round

And round and round and round and round

My heart's wood, she's a carpenter

She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright

Dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner

Dance with me, partner, all night (All night)


[Outro]

All night (All night)

All night (All night)

All night (All night)

All night (All night, all night, all night)

All night (All night, all night, all night)

All night (All night, all night, all night)

All night (All night, all night, all night)

(All night, all night, all night, all night, all night)
