Lyrics:

Ladies and Gentlemen
Miss Grace Jones
Slave to the rhythm!
Work all day as men who know
Wheels must turn to keep the flow
Build on up, don't break the chain,
Sparks will fly when the whistle blows
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up

Work to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm

Axe to wood in ancient times
Man machine, power lines
Fires burn, hearts beat strong
Sing out loud, the chain gang song
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up

Breathe to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Work to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
You slave to the rhythm
Oh, baby
How!

Don't cry
It's only the rhythm

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

(Alive to the rhythm)
We live to the rhythm
And we work to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm
And now, ladies and gentlemen
Here's Grace!

Slave
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Slave
To the rhythm
Slave
To the rhythm
To the rhythm
Oh!
