Well her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Oh she's an angel from the Inner Lake
Her brains they rattle and her bones they shake
Oh she's an angel from the Inner Lake
Don't dance with her Henry don't you dance with her Jake
Oh she's an angel from the Inner Lake
She gives me more loving than a poor man can take
Oh she's an angel from the Inner Lake
Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
And bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reeling
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor there ain't no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the Jump Back Jack
She's got the heart of a ballerina
Straight from the Bronx, hung off the line
She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds
Even the old dancehall hacks from the West side of the tracks
Move in close to catch her timing
She moves up and then she moves back
Out on the floor there ain't no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the Jump Back Jack
She's got the heart of a ballerina
She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
Her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round and round and round and round
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner, till the dawn (all night)
Thundercrack, baby's back
This time she'll tell me how she really feels
And bring me down to her lightning shack
You can watch my partner reeling
She moves up, she moves back
Out on the floor there ain't no one cleaner
She does this thing she calls the Jump Back Jack
She's got the heart of a ballerina
She has parents, she has religion, she has sisters
She ain't no little girl, she ain't got no curls
her hair ain't brown and her eyes ain't either
Round and round and round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round and round and round and round
And around she whirls
My heart's wood, she's a carpenter
She's an angel in the night, what she does is alright
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner
Dance with me partner, till the dawn (all night)
