JUMP IN THE LINE (BEETLEJUICE, 1988)

Director Tim Burton's earlier effort is an entertaining and at most times a surreal journey into the world of one naughty ghost named Beetlejuice (just don't call his name thrice in a row!). Michael Keaton, more popular as Burton's version of Batman plays the titular character, he gets to act crazy in a phantasmic way. Cool songs were also heard throughout the film, the end scene when Lydia (Winona Ryder) floats and dances into Harry Belafonte's Jump In The Line song is pure Burton fun.


JUMP IN THE LINE

(SHAKE, SHAKE SENORA)

sung by: Harry Belafonte


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!


(INSTRUMENTAL)


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!!
