Remarks:
This came out in 1975, reaching #48 on the US pop chart and #90 on the R&B chart. Despite that, I remember this song! As it turns out, that is because it was huge in New York.
I did not see the video till the YouTube Era, but the second I did I knew that Peggy McLean, despite her Anglo name and Anglo accent, was not Anglo, but probably a continental European. It is something about her hair and clothes.
Her real name is Gertrude Wirschinger, born in Austria. She has appeared in this space before as one-third of Silver Convention singing “Fly Robin Fly” (1975).

Lyrics:
Hey
I’m so glad you come in here tonight. I’m so itchin’ to
Dance I can’t stand it and I was countin’ on dancin’ with you
It’s a Saturday night and I feel all right
So come on
Let’s dance – look at me
All I wanna do is to bump with you
So come on
Let’s dance – look at me tonight
When we hear the music play you might
Learn from me in every way
They call me Lady Bump
Lady Bump it’s no lie – ah
Lady Bump
Lady Bump – just the music takes me high
They call me Lady Bump
Lady Bump uh uh uh ah
Lady Bump
Lady Bump look at me and you’ll know why
No
I don’t need a break ’cause my hips got to shake –
Ooh come on
Let’s dance – look at me
When I feel your touch – baby
It’s too much
Ooh come on
Let’s dance – look at me tonight…
They call me Lady Bump
Lady Bump it’s no lie – ah…
They call me Lady Bump
Lady Bump uh uh uh ah…
They call me Lady Bump
Lady Bump uh uh uh ah…
