Lyrics

Oh, You Little Thing
By Bruce Bergh

Oh, you little thing
The way you dance & swing
Makes me jump, makes me sing,
The way you move your thing!
Hoppin’ and a boppin’ with your pony tail
You’re my true-life fairytale!
Oh, you little thing
The way you dance, the way you swing
Makes me jump and sing
The way you move, move your thing!
Fleetin’ and a flyin’ like a honey bee
You’re the one for me, the one for me

My band was playing at the dance,
Then, all at once I caught your glance
You smiled at me and winked your eye
Baby, this is my reply...

Oh, you little thing,
The way you dance the way you swing
Makes me jump, makes me sing,
The way you move, move your thing!
Hoppin’ and a boppin’ with your pony tail
You’re my true-life fairytale!
Oh, you little thing,
The way you dance, the way you swing
Makes me jump and makes me sing,
The way you move your thing!
Fleetin’ and a flyin’ like a honey bee
You’re the one for me

Instumental

Shake it baby, shake shake shake
Let the music overtake
All your senses as you swing
Let me see you move your thing!

Oh, you little thing,
The way you jive, the way you swing
Makes me happy, makes me sing,
The way you move, move your thing!
Hoppin’ and a boppin’ all night long
Dancin’ to my song

Oh, you little little thing,
Move your thing for me
Let me see you shake shake shake
Let me see your body quake
You can bop like nobody
You’re the one for me

Oh, you little thing,
The way you dance, the way you swing
Makes me jump, makes me sing,
The way you move, move your thing!
Hoppin’ and a boppin’ with your pony tail
You’re my true-life fairytale!
You can dance like nobody
You’re the one for me
