Pimp dolls, jam
Jigglettes, slam
Pimp dolls, jam
Jigglettes, slam

Just because I shake and party
And roll my sexy body
don't mean that I'm tryin to tease
Its called body talk
Its not like the walk
cause this time
you're wearin blue jeans

You rub your left leg slow
And let your body go
And do a little sexy scream
Jam, lets party out
Make your body sweat and shout
A visual sex machine

Body talk
Talk body to me, body talk

Body talk
Talk body to me, body talk

Jigglettes gonna slam
Pimp dolls gonna jam
Let your body talk to me
you're lookin real fine
you're workin overtime
you're footloose and fancy free

Now its all about the feel
cause now you know the deal
So pump your body cross the floor
And put it in the groove
Gonna make it real smooth
And then you'll want some more
