Presentator:
Lady and Gentelman
Miss Grace Jones
Slave to the rhythm

Grace Jones:
Slave to the Rhythm
Oh!, Baby

(Long instrumental Intro)

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 time,
Man machine, Power line,

Fires burn, Heart beats 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
Slave to the rhythm.
