[Intro]

Aaaaah!

Hoo! Chop! Chop! Chop!

Hoo!

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Hoh! Hoh!

[Verse 1]

She dances in his sheets at night

She dances to his needs

She dances 'til he feels just right

Until he falls asleep

She dances at the crack of dawn

And quickly cooks his food

She can't be late, can't take too long

The kids must get to school

[Chorus x2]

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

A rhythm of the love, a rhythm of the love

[Verse 2]

She dances for the man at work

Who works her overtime

She can't be rude as she says

Sir, "I must be home tonight"

She dances to the kitchen stove

Dinner is served by nine

He says his food's an hour late

She must be out her mind

[Chorus x2]

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

A rhythm of the love, a rhythm of the love

[Bridge]

She works so hard just to make her way

For the man who just don't appreciate

And though he takes her love in vain

Still, she could not stop, couldn't break his chains

[Verse 3]

She danced the night that they fell out

She swore she'd dance no more

But dance, she did, she dared not quit

As she ran out the door

She danced through the night, in fear of her life

She danced to a beat of her own

She let out a cry and swallowed her pride

She knew she was needed back home, home

[Chorus x3]

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm of

'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm

A slave to the rhythm of

A rhythm of the love, a rhythm of the love
