[Verse One]
Oh, whoa, no
Oh, whoa, yeah
Look at Killer Joe go (Ah-ah-ah)
Dancing with Marie (Oh no)
He don’t act like he knows (Oh yeah)
She belongs to me
[Verse Two]
Look at how they Wobble (Ah-ah-ah)
He’s the best in town (He’s the best in town)
I think I’m in trouble (Oh yeah)
She forgets that I’m around
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m so jealous
Hey, help me, fellas
Go on and tell her she should only dance with me-ee-ee
Uh!
[Verse Three]
Look at Killer Joe go (Ah-ah-ah)
Holding her so tight (Oh no)
Putting on the big show (Oh yeah)
With Marie tonight
Someone better tell him (Ah-ah-ah)
She is mine alone (She is mine alone)
Just because he dance good (Oh yeah)
That don’t mean he take her home
Yeah!
