Lyrics
I'm gonna wear you to the ball tonight
I plan to accompany you to the ball tonight.
Put on your best dress tonight
Wear your finest dress for the occasion.
Did you hear what the man said baby
Listen to what the man is saying, emphasizing the importance.
Said be your best 'cause this
Be at your best as this is a musical challenge.
Gonna be your musical test
This event will test your musical abilities.
So come to school,
Attend the 'musical school' being referred to.
And I take up the musical rule
Follow the musical rules I present.
Give me soul brothers, and give me soul sisters
Seeking support from both male and female soulful individuals.
Come to I and maybe you can make it if you try
Come to me, and you might succeed with effort.
So be wise and be deadly, put on your best
Be smart and skillful, wear your best.
Because I got your musical key
I hold the key to your musical success.
Rub it baby, I said scrub it, yeah
Rub and scrub the musical key to unlock its power.
Cause I'm tougher than tough
Expressing toughness and resilience.
And that ain't no bluff
No deception, I am genuinely tough.
Maybe it's because I've got the musical (best) stuff
Attributing toughness to possessing the best musical elements.
I'm gonna make you the talk of the town
I will make you the talk of the town.
No use wearing a frown
Don't be sad; there's no reason for a frown.
Though, those other guys may put you down
Despite others criticizing, I will make you stand out.
I'm gonna let you wear my crown
You will wear the metaphorical crown of success.
Though, those other guys may put you down
Reiterating that others may criticize, but you'll wear the crown.
You'll wear my crown
Emphasizing again that you will wear the symbolic crown.
Wow
An exclamation or expression of excitement.
Chick-a-bow, chick-a-bow, Chick-a-bow wow wow
Onomatopoeic sounds, possibly indicating rhythm or dance.
Give me soul brothers and give me soul sisters
Requesting support from soulful individuals again.
Don't beg for no mercy
Don't plead for mercy; face the challenge.
Move it up, and break it up
Move and dance energetically.
I tell you 'bout it, it's good
Describing the music positively.
Wow! She's got it,
Acknowledging someone possessing something special or desirable.
She's got it
-She's got it
-And we are going to have a musical ball
Announcing a musical event; encourage participation.
So get on the ball and don't stall
Get involved and don't delay.
I beg you baby
Asking someone to participate passionately.
Wow
An exclamation or expression of excitement.
Tell you about it, it's good
Reiterating the positive qualities of the music.
That's for sure
Emphasizing the certainty of the statement.

Playing new musical tracks effortlessly.
The flick of my wrist, baby
Describing a smooth and skillful motion.
Wow! Tell you about it, she's got it
