(White light) White light goin', messin' up my mind
(White light) And don't you know it's gonna make me go blind
(White heat) Yeah, white heat, it tickles me on down to my toes
(White light) Lord have mercy, while I have it, goodness knows
(White light) Oh white light is lightin' up my eyes
(White light) Don't you know it fills me up with surprise
(White heat) Yeah, white heat, it tickles me on down to my toes
(White light) Lord have mercy, while I have it, goodness knows
Work it

[Chorus]
Oh, she sure is funky
Watch that speed freak, watch that speed freak
Gonna do it up every night of the week

(White light) Hey white light is lightin' up my brain
(White light) Don't you know it's gonna make me insane?
(White heat) Oh, white heat it tickles me on down to my toes

(White light) Yeah white light is lightin' up my eyes
(White light) Don't you know it fills me up with surprise
