When you hear sweet syncopation And the music softly moans It ain't no sin to take off your skin And dance around in your bones When it gets too hot for comfort And you can't get ice cream cones It ain't no sin to take off your skin And dance around in your bones Just like those bamboo babies Down in the south sea tropic zone It ain't no sin to take off your skin And dance around in your bones When you hear sweet syncopation And the music softly moans It ain't no sin to take off your skin And dance around in your bones When it gets too hot for comfort And you can't get ice cream cones It ain't no sin to take off your skin And dance around in your bones Just like those bamboo babies Down in the south sea tropic zone It ain't no sin to take off your skin And dance around in your bones
