Lyrics:

Shake, shake, shake, seņora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, seņora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, seņora, work your body line
Work, work, work, seņora, work it all the time

My girl's name is Seņora
I tell you friends, I adore her
And when she dances, oh brother
She's a hurry-cane 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, seņora, shake your body line-Whoa
Shake, shake, shake, seņora, shake it all the time
Work, work, work, seņora, work your body line
Work, work, work, seņora, work it all the time

You can talk about cha cha
Tango, waltz, or de rumba
Seņora 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, seņora, shake your body line
Shake, shake, shake, seņora, shake it all the time-Whoa
Work, work, work, seņora, work your body line-Yep
Work, work, work, seņora, work it all the time

Seņora, 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 guns a little higher!
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-Humpin' jiminy
(Jump in de line, rock your body in time)-Whoa oh oh oh

Shake, shake, shake, seņora
Shake your body line
Work, work, work, seņora
Work it all the time

Dance, dance, dance, seņora
Dance it all the time
Work, work, work, seņora
Work it all the time

Seņora 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!
