Shine on, shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on, shine on
My little star
The bird drank up the juice
But there's still the coconut meat
And a bit of molasses with rum and happiness
That dark skinned girl who is dancing samba
Won't let anyone else dance
My love is asking
If samba is only for the young ladies
If samba is only for the young ladies
If samba is for the young ladies
If samba is only for the young ladies
If samba is for the young ladies
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on, shine on
My little star
My love is asking
As if I knew the answer
And from over there I would come
If I was over there
My love is in the circle! So help me god
She's in a huddle, so help me god
Each bump of the belly, so help me god
It's breathtaking, so help me god
Hey there!
Hey there!
Housewife, I came from upstairs to dance samba!
And I'll only leave when my love tells me to
