Little darlin', stir it up! O-oh!

Then I'll satisfy your heart's desire. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

every minute:
All you got to do, baby, (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Is keep it in, eh!

Stir it up; ..., baby!
Come on and stir it up, oh-oh-oh!
Little darlin', stir it up! Wo-oh! Mm, now, now.

Quench me when I'm thirsty;
Come on and cool me down, baby, when I'm hot. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Your recipe is, - darlin' - is so tasty,
When you show and stir your pot. (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

So: stir it up, oh!
Little darlin', stir it up; wo, now!
Come on and stir it up, oh-ah!
Little darlin', stir it up!
