This is my video montage tribute to one of my all-time favorite songs: Harry Belafonte's "Jump in the Line" from his 1961 album "Jump Up Calypso". This song will never get old and Harry Belafonte is a LIVING ICON. Harry is the man and you can tell just by the way he presents and carries himself that he's genuine all around. Seriously, who could not enjoy Harry's music? His music is universal and he has touched many people all over the world. Thank you so much Harry. You're truly an inspiration.
Even though some newer so called "original" artists have sampled this brilliant track in the recent years there's a reason why this version, and only this version, is called the "original." You can't beat an original! So keep rockin' on Harry!
Lyrics:
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line
Work, work, work, Senora, work it all the time
My girl's name is Senora
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh brother!
She's a hurricane in all kinds of weather
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Whoa!
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line
Work, work, work, Senora, work it all the time
You can talk about Cha Cha
Tango, Waltz, or de Rumba
Senora's dance has no title
You jump in the saddle
Hold on to de bridle!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Rock your body, child!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Somebody, help me!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Whoa!
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time (Whoa)
Work, work, work, Senora, work your body line (Yep)
Work, work, work, Senora, work it all the time
Senora, she's a sensation
The reason for aviation
And fellas, you got to watch it
When she wind up, she bottom, she go like a rocket!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Hoist those skirts a little higher!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Up the chim-en-y!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Whoa oh oh oh!
[break]
Shake, shake, shake, Senora
Shake your body line
Work, work, work, Senora
Work it all the time
Dance, dance, dance, Senora
Dance it all the time
Work, work, work, Senora
Work it all the time
Senora dances Calypso
Left to right is de tempo
And when she gets the sensation
She go up in the air, come down in slow motion
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Somebody, help me!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
OK, I believe you!
Jump in de line, rock your body in time
Whooooa!
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, Senora!!
