Story Behind the Song
This is the first song written by Matt from back in the day.
A simple song with a catchy melody in the tradition of classic SKA.
It was written for a girlfriend he was living with at the time who had as the song says,
"..hair so red,
and skin so fine..".
It turns out she didn't have red hair after all,
just a good dye job!
Oh well...
The most popular song at Mento shows and the most requested by the ladies.
MUEVETE CHICA!!!
Lyrics
Rockin' steady to this tropical beat,
I see this girl that me really like to meet,
with hair so red,
and skin so fine,
and with eyes so pure,
I knew one day she would be mine,
(chorus)
Move it girl,
move it girl,
all night long,
your beauty hypnotizes oh so strong
shake it girl,
shake it girl
tease me and then,
kiss me sweetly as you move it again
We're dancing slowly now,
much to my delight
You best believe I am a'holding her so tight
Her sweet perfume,
so tempting to taste
and with lips so soft,
she's got it all in the right place
(chorus)
The night goes on now,
where can she be,
my movin' girl has gone away from me
not wit' no rudie,
she's too cool,
no chance,
but in a state o' shock I was as I began to sing and dance
(chorus)
fin..
