Ooh ooh ooh Nobody knew her name
But she turned up just the same

There was a knock on the door

A thump on the floor and the party turned insane

As she called out her name.
And she walked in looking like dynamite

She said now come along
boogaloo through the night
And by the way she's moving well

Dynamite might she not with all
she's got she's got the whole town lighting up dynamite
Nobody quite knowing what to do

Wrong or right

But they all know Dyna is Dynamite
And they're right.
She hadn't been there long
When she told us where she came from

There was a flash in the sky

A light in her eye and her dynamite light burned on

As the music went on and on and on and on . . .
And she walked in looking like dynamite
. . .

Mud

Mud is a mixture of water and some combination of soil, silt, and clay. Ancient mud deposits harden over geological time to form sedimentary rock such as shale or mudstone (generally called lutites). When geological deposits of mud are formed in estuaries the resultant layers are termed bay muds. Mud is closely related to slurry and sediment. more »
