Tied Up

Keep it cool, keep cool your mind
Shift the beat, you’re one of kind
Shake it up, beat on the beat
Shake it up, the bababumba beat
Stay out, stay out
Shift the beat
Sad in love
Shift the beat
Sad in love
Ring the bell, roll down the street
Tie me up into the city heat
Keep it cool, keep cool your mind
Shift the beat, you’re one of a kind
Stay out
Tied up
Shift the beat
Get together, beat after beat
Congas calling in the summer night heat
Just a laugh, a little smile
You’ll see me cruising up the Nile
Still in New York with the African queen
With the African queen into the city heat
It’s the African queen who got the summer night crown
It’s the African queen, the hottest lady in town
It’s the African queen who keeps me on my feet
It’s the African queen, the bababumba beat
Take the beat, take the fight
Take me beat into the ring tonight
Shake it up, beat on the beat
Shake it up, the bababumba beat
Take my heart and hold me tight
Forever, forever
