Ooh there's something about just something about the way she's move
And I can't figure it out

Said ooh it's something about kinda woman that want you but don't need you
And I can't figure it out
it's something about her
Cause she walk like a boss talk like a boss
Manicured nailed to set the pedicure off
She's fly effortlessly
Cause she move like a boss do what a boss
Do she got me thinkin' about gettin' involved
That's the kinda girl I need
- Mrs. Astrakhan: *impress*

- Mrs. Astrakhan: Oh my, you must stop sinking.
- Terry: *cough* Sorry my bad. Hey, are you sinking me?
- Mrs. Astrakhan: No. I wasn't sinking you. Good job with your singing. Think you can show this to Miss Viola on how proud your classmates are?
- Terry: Yes. I can make her proud.
- Mrs. Astrakhan: Then go ahead. Be the very best you can.
- Terry: Alright. I'm ready.
