When it comes twistin' I just got to keep insistin'
Oh baby .... you sure do swing


When it comes twistin' I just got to keep insistin'
Oh daddy hey, you are the king


Baby you got me beat up and down inside out and across
Oh yeh!


But in the middle of the night when the moon is shining bright
Ah! You're the boss


Hey talkin 'bout the days when we ended down the hall romancin'
Big daddy Hey! You make the scene


Hey talkin' 'bout dancin' and down on romancin'
Oh now baby, you are the queen


Oh when push comes to shove, when it comes down to love
You're a horse


Oh yeh! but in the middle of the night when the moon is shining bright
Baby, you're the boss


You're the best of everything
You're a peach, you're a plum
You're a diamond, you're a pearl
You're the best of everything
Ahh daddy you're my man


Baby you're my girl
Now when it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'
Now baby, you sure are wise


Yeh! When it comes to knowin' which way the wind is blowin'
Oh daddy, you take the prize


Baby you're a genius when it comes to cooking up some chilli sauce
Oh yeh!


Oh but in the middle of the night when the moon is shining bright
Ahh, you're the boss


You're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss


But in the middle of the night when the moon is shining bright
Ahh, you're the boss
You're the boss
You're the boss
Baby You're the boss
Tell me 'bout it baby
