disco lady











"The Philosopher of Soul" hit the top of the charts and and had us hypnotized and soul mesmo-ized. Producer Don Davis wrote the song about a dancer he saw in Spain. 'Disco Lady' was Johnnie Taylor's first single with Columbia Records after Stax went bankrupt. The song features Parliament-Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins, keyboardist Bernie Worrell and guitarist Glen Goins, as well as Dawn's Telma Hopkins. It spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and six weeks on the Billboard R&B chart in the U.S. It was also the first single to be certified platinum by the RIAA and the first number one song with the word "disco" in the title.

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it round, disco lady
Move it in, move it out
Move it in and about disco lady

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it around, disco lady

Hey sexy lady
Said I like the way you move your thang, Lord, have mercy girl
you dance so fine, and you're right on time
Girl you ought to be on TV on soul train

When you get the groove, it ain't no stoppin'
Just can't help it, but I'm, I'm finger pop-pin

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it round, disco lady
Move it in, move it out
Move it in and about, disco lady

Shake it baby, shake it
Baby, shake your thang
Shake it baby, shake it
Baby, shake your thang

You got me groovin', I feel like movin'
You got me lovin' can't sit still I'm groovin'
I like that funky stuff

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it round, disco lady
Shove it in, move it out
Move it in and about, disco lady

Hey sexy lady!
Girl, you drive me crazy
You dance so fine and you're right on time
Girl, you're driving me out of my mind

If it wasn't for the girl sittin' next to me
I'd jump right up and out-ta my safety seat
You got me hypnotized, soul mesmo-ized
Girl, your movin' me girl your groovin' me

Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it

Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it round, disco lady
Move it in, move it out
Shove it in and about, disco lady

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it round, disco lady
Move it in, move it out
Shove it in and about, disco lady

Shake it up, shake it down
Move it in, move it round, disco lady
