E A/C# F#/Bb B
Girls are dancing all around and just for me
E A/C# F#/Bb B
And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
A Ebm Ab C#m E7
I've made your hearts jump, I've caused the heat
A E/G# F#m E
I'm in demand - I am the beat.
VERSE 2
I turned a girl into a heaving, senseless wreck
I made the captain of the ship dance off his deck
I've made the old man jump to his feet
I'm in demand - I am the beat.
