I`m gonna wear you to the ball tonight 
 Put on your best dress tonight 

 Did you hear what the man said baby 
 Well be your best `cause this 
 gonna be a musical test 
 [bad word] to school, and I take up the [bad word] 
 Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters  [bad word] To I and maybe you can make it if you try 
 So be wise and be changing, put on your best 
 Because I got your musical key  [bad word] it baby, I said [bad word] it, yeah. 
 Cause I`m tougher than tough 
 And that ain`t no bluff 
 Maybe it`s because I`ve got the musical stuff 

 I`m gonna make you the talk of the town 
 No use wearing a frown 
 Though those other guys may put you down 
 I`m gonna let you wear my crown 
 Though those other guys may put you down 
 You`ll wear my crown 

 Wow ! Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow,
