Yes 
Tony Toni Tone 
And DJ Quick 
You didn't think we could flip it on yo ass, huh? 
Something for the dance floor 
In a real way 
It's going down like this forever 
And a day 

Now what you hear is not a drag 
'Cause Mr. DJ Quik got a brand new bag 
But first I gotta bang bang 
A boogie for the boogie 
To the rhythm of the ghettoey streets 
Check it out now 
You trying to give me some Eight Ball 
But no way 
I'd rather have a Mimosa With Crystal and O.J., yeah 
Just a little something bubbly and tingly 
To have me walking around naked but wait a second 

The function's on 
Around midnight 
What time is it 
Are you inside 
Available 
To come and play 
Give me a clue 
So I don't have to 
Look for you 

Come on, let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down 
In my black Chevrolet 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, let's get down 

Yeah, now we don't need a club 
We can do it at my house 
My front door's open so homey's can bust it out 
And ladies if you're coming leave your children at the nursery 
So you can get slow on the anniversary 
Kill me 
I dip dip da 
So don't be looking stupid when I unfasten your bra 
You know you want to mack this 
Because I come stronger than the IRS 
Whenever you done got delinquent on your taxes 

Now here I am 
Staring at you 
I need a drink 
You need one too 
Who is your friend 
She don't look nice 
But I know she will 
Later on tonight 
Come on let's get down 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Come on let's get down
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, let's get down

Now I'm at the club 
And I'm off that drug 
The one they call alcohol got me acting y'all 
I hump two first before I hump two more 
And now I'm throwing up my guts out the car door 
Over-consumption you know how it is y'all 
Got your homey beggin' for some Pepto Bismol 
But when my stomach's right I'll be back tonight 
To get that lady I was grinding on the wall 

Now that I feel a little better than I felt a while ago, yeah 
I'm going back to the same spot 
Where I met you on the floor 

Now table one, that's my folks 
And table two, that's my folks 
And everybody knows my name 
Now table three that's B. Grund 
And table four that's G-One 
You best be prepared 
'Cause it's all a game you know 

Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
(In my black Chevrolet) 

I gotta get my groove on (keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin') 
I gotta get my groove on (keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass) 
I gotta get my groove on (keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin') 
I gotta get get my groove on (keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass) 
I'm groovin' (say what?) 
Movin' (yeah) 
Yeah 

Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, down, down, down (in my black Chevrolet) 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, down, down, down (in my black Chevrolet) 

Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, down, down, down (in my black Chevrolet) 
Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down 
Come on let's get down, down, down, down (in my black Chevrolet)
