Grace Jones
Slave to the Rhythm (Blooded) 12" picture disc single
This is what Edith Piaf used to say
"Use your faults, use your defects
Then you're gonna be a star"
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Grace Jones
Jones: slave to the rhythm
She’s born in Jamaica, raised in America
And she was really an American girl
I mean, with Jamaican parents
Keep it up
Keep it up
Keep it up
Keep it up
Keep it up
I'm just playing around, baby
Work all day as men who know
Wheels must turn to keep the flow
Build on up, don't break the chain
Sparks will fly when the whistle blows
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Never stop the action
Keep it up
Work to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm
Axe to wood In ancient times
Man machine, power drive
Fire burns, hearts beat strong
Sing out loud, the chain gang song
Never stop the action
Oh, keep it up, keep it up
Never stop the action
Come on, keep it up
Breathe to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Learn to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
You slave to the rhythm
Oh, baby
Don’t cry, it's only the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
And be wed to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm!
And now, ladies and gentlemen
Here's Grace!
Slave to the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm, to the rhythm, to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm, to the rhythm
Oh!
