Lyrics:

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Grace Jones'
Slave to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm, oh baby
I'm just playin' around, baby

[Incomprehensible] 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
We'll sing, never stop the action
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 line
Fire burns, hearts beat strong
Sing out loud, the chain gang song

Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Never stop the action
Come on, 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

Don't cry, I'm [Incomprehensible]

Might live to the rhythm
And you 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
