The line is "Oh she move like *the* Diva do".  Actually when you listen
it sounds like there is an extra "th" at the end:

Oh she move like the Diva do...th
I said "I'd love to dance like you...th."

Hard to describe; best just to listen to it for yourself. Anyway,
I just found that interesting and it's not my point.

I don't have a dictionary here (especially regional ones!) but if a
plural is diva (I've heard divas) then "like the Diva do" fits.

Jeff, I can see how this song would be cool for a kite competition. :)
