Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Automatic Systematic
Full of color self contained
Tuned and channeled to your vibes

Captivating Stimulating
She such a sexy lady
Built with space age design
Shes moving grooving dancing to the music stop now
Yeah

Rhythmic acrobatic
She a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive now
She knows what shes doing
She super bad now
She's geared to really blow your mind

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Do it baby

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

Come on babe
Come on babe
Babe
Babe
Shake it baby
Shake it babe
Babe

Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine

As she do, do, do her thing Right on the scene




Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down

Jackie was proud

Jermaine was jealous

According to Eddie Murphy and Chris Tucker, tito is Michael's servant

Marlon, to some people is equally as talented to Michael, just very underrated

And randy, no one talks about randy

I was thinking that was great & as an adult, Jackson would get better! No one did it like the King of Pop (possible exception: the Godfather of Soul, the immortal James Brown)!!!!

We talk about Michael so much but checkout is brothers. All his brothers were talented singing, dancing, and playing instruments at the same time.

@Corvette-wc1ej

You said what I was thinking. Their moves were so precise! Michael would do his thing just enough to not overshadow his brothers imo. Family music dynasty. 🎶🎶🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
