Kiryat Ata (Hebrew: קִרְיַת אָתָא; also Qiryat Ata, Arabic: كريات آتا, Kiryāt ʾĀtā) is a city in the Haifa District of Israel. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), at the end of 2009 the city had a total population of 50,700. It is also still known by its former name of Kfar Ata (Hebrew: כְּפַר עָטָּה).
Archeological surveys at Khirbet Sharta in the northeast part of the city revealed traces of habitation dating to the Bronze, Iron, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, and Mamluk eras.
In 1283 it was mentioned as part of the domain of the Crusaders, according to the hudna between the Crusaders and the Mamluk sultan Qalawun. At the time it was called Kafrata.
Incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, Kufrata appeared in the census of 1596, located in the Nahiya of Acca of the Liwa of Safad. The population was 15 households, all Muslim. They paid taxes on wheat, barley, fruit trees, cotton, occasional revenues, goats and beehives; a total of 1508 Akçe. The village appeared under the name of Koufour Tai on the map that Pierre Jacotin compiled during Napoleon's invasion of 1799.
Learnt me to rock and I learnt me to roll
You got to use it, baby, to keep your soul
Go down to town get some reaction
Got to go down 'cause I need a distraction
I've been trying it on with everyone in sight
Dhe's been waiting so long for me to come tonight
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying, she can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
There ain't no cure and there ain't no time
You got to have it and have it fine
Don't say a word about her affections
I'm going to come from another direction
She's been trying it on with everyone in sight
I've been waiting so long for me to come tonight
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying, I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and she's got the shakes
Can't get enough sweet sweet love
I'm coming around so get your tail up and ready for a heartbreaker
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and she's got the shakes
Baby, baby, baby's on fire
She can't get no higher
Baby, baby, baby's on fire
She's burning like fire
