Ooh skat
Am I pleased to meet ya
Picture from the people
Something I got to teach ya

Ooh crack
You're quite the creature
Girl from the creature feature
Tasty like to eat ya
Thinking so nasty
Just got me feeling so nasty

Ooh pop
Take you from the 80's
Bimbos rock the latex
Dingos catch the babies

Ooh stop
Look we're ready to rumble
Girlfriend can you show me
The way that the cookie crumbles
Thinking so nasty
Just got me feeling so na

Keep it rocking baby, don't try to hide it, no
Give me something and I won't try to fight it, no
All the troubles in my mind they don't feel so bad
When you got me in your palm slide it in your hands

Ooh snap
Girls got to eat ya
Cookin' I got to T-bone
Hungry I need to feed her

Ooh chnn
Touched quite a female
Checked all the styles she show
Chick don't reply to email
Thinking so nasty
Just got me feeling so na

Keep it rocking baby, don't try to hide it, no
Give me something and I won't try to fight it, no
All the troubles in my mind they don't feel so bad
When you got me in your palm slide it in your hands

Keep it pumping baby, don't try to hide it, no
Give me something and I won't try to fight it girl
All the problem in the world I don't understand
When you got me in your arms slide it in your hands

Yippiyo-ay
When you wear a smile
Yippiyo-ay
When you rock a frown

Yippiyo-ay
When you throw one off
Yippiyo-ay
When you coming round

Yippiyo-ay
When I'm feeling bad
Yippiyo-ay
When I'm feeling sad

Yippiyo-ay
No, it ain't so bad
Yippiyo-ay
When I'm in your hands

Keep it rocking baby, don't try to hide it, no
Give me something and I won't try to fight it, no
All the troubles in my mind they don't feel so bad
When you got me in your palm slide it in your hands

Keep it pumping baby, don't try to hide it, no
Give me something and I won't try to fight it girl
All the problem in the world I don't understand
When you got me in your arms slide it in your hands

Keep it rocking baby, don't try to hide it, no
(Yippiyo-ay)
Give me something and I won't try to fight it, no
(Yippiyo-ay)
All the troubles in my mind they don't feel so bad
(Yippiyo-ay)
(Yippiyo-ay)
