Extortion (live)

Intro]
(Ah yeah!)
Hey baby! (Hey what?)
You ready? (For what?)
Let’s go swingin’ till the morning light!
C’mon now!

[Verse 1]
Well the band’s on fire and the floor’s alive,
Got my shoes shined up, feelin’ that vibe!
You caught my eye from across the crowd,
Let’s twist it up, let’s make it loud!
Come on sugar, don’t stand still,
The rhythm’s jumpin’, you know the thrill!
Every move, every groove’s the thing—
So hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Verse 1 Partner B]
Mmm honey, you talk so sweet,
You got that style that moves your feet!
You spin me ‘round, I lose my mind,
Ain’t felt this good in such a long time!
You grab my waist, I grab your hand,
Let’s show ‘em how we twist and stand!
The night is young, let the jukebox ring—
Hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Chorus]
Hey baby, let’s go swing!
Twist that body, do your thing!
Round and round, don’t you stop,
Move those hips and let it drop!
Hey baby, the groove’s the king—
Clap your hands, let the rhythm sing!
Come on now, let your heart take wing—
Hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Verse 2 Partner A]
I see you movin’, you got that fire,
Your steps are smooth, you lift me higher!
You dip and slide, you twist so neat,
I can feel that heat from your dancing feet!
Let’s spin again, don’t lose the beat,
Our hearts are pounding, oh so sweet!
The crowd’s all clappin’, the trumpets sting—
Oh, hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Verse 2 Partner B]
Oh darling, you sure can move,
You’ve got that old-school Chubby groove!
The sax is blowin’, the bass is tight,
This dance could last all through the night!
We’re twistin’, turnin’, shoutin’ loud,
We’re the heartbeat of this crowd!
Let’s shake it, baby, do your thing—
Hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Bridge]
Partner A: Left foot, right foot, spin around!
Partner B: Twist that body, get down, get down!
Partner A: Shake those hips, now don’t be shy!
Partner B: Come on baby, let’s touch the sky!
Both: Everybody’s watchin’, the band’s on fire—
We’re swingin’ high, we’re climbin’ higher!

[Chorus]
Hey baby, let’s go swing! (Yeah!)
Twist that body, do your thing! (Woo!)
Round and round, don’t you stop!
Move those hips and let it drop!
Hey baby, the groove’s the king—
Clap your hands, let the rhythm sing!
Come on now, let your heart take wing—
Hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Break]
Partner A: Spin me, sugar!
Partner B: Don’t you let go!
Partner A: I’m flyin’!
Partner B: I told you so!

[Final Chorus]
Hey baby, let’s go swing!
Twist that body, do your thing!
Round and round, don’t you stop!
Move those hips and let it drop!
Hey baby, the groove’s the king—
Clap your hands, let the rhythm sing!
One more time, let the rafters ring—
Hey baby, let’s go swing!

[Outro]
Partner A: Oh yeah, baby, we’re swingin’ tonight!
Partner B: Don’t stop now, keep it tight!
Partner A: The moon’s up high, our hearts are too—
Both: Hey baby… I’m swingin’ with you!
