The Boy Does Nothing - Simple Present

The Boy Does Nothing
Alesha Dixon

Listen to the song and fill in the gaps with the verbs in the simple present.

I got a man with two left feet
And when he ___________ (dance) down to the beat
I really _____________(think) that he should know
That his rhythms go go go (x2)

CHORUS x2:
________ he ________ (wash) up?
Never __________ (wash) up
________ he ___________ (clean) up?
No, he never ___________ (clean) up
______ he ____________(brush) up?
Never brushed up
He _________ (do) nothing
The boy __________ (do) nothing

Hey boy how you been?
I got a thousand lines
Where _______ I ________(begin)?
And I been here, been there traveling
I saw you at the corner
My vibe kicked in

And two fields I clock you
Wearing tight jeans, a real nice suit
He was smiling like you
Was just seventeen
I asked him for a dance
He said 'yes please'

Take a sip of dancing juice
Everybody's onto you
Through the left and to the right
Everybody hit the rhythm
It's on tonight
I'm gonna feel the heat within my soul
I need a man to take control
Let the melody blow you all away

CHORUS x2

Work it out now
Work it, Work it out now

Do the mambo
Shake it all around now

Everybody on the floor
Let me see you clap your hands

I wanna see you work
I wanna see you move your body in turn
I wanna see you shake your hips and learn

I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now

I wanna see you work
I wanna see you move your body in turn
I wanna see you shake your hips and learn

I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now

CHORUS x2

And if the man can't dance, he gets no second chance x5
