Hello
The Cat Empire
Struggling with Hello? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Walking down the street With some evil in my eye And some thoughts in my head That were making me feel high On my head was a hoodi In my ears was some bass Was walking by my dog When I saw that sexy face Come towards me With a little cheeky smile If she was a phone I'd pick her up and dial The fire brigade Or zero zero zero She stopped me in my tracks And I said 'mmm hchello hchello' I was sleeping in the sand With some dreams in my head That were causing an extension To the towel and my bed And the waves were rolling Like the curves on those legs Of a sweet beach bella With that centrefold spread In the midst of the slumber I heard some footsteps creeping And I woke to discover The woman I'd been dreaming She knelt down beside Said 'can I share your pillow?' I rolled over and I said 'well hchello hchello' Some like money making Some like cars And some like the houses With the rooftop spas And some like to gossip About some rich sugar daddies But me and my friends We like the golden brown honeys And some like watching people Living on TV That's a little strange If you're asking me 'Cause I like to eat and laugh And **** and play down low These are the things I know Well hchello hchello. Welcome to this night Welcome to this song Welcome to these rhymes That be going on and on Welcome to the empire And the funky empire tunes But most of all welcome To the bellas in this room Well hchello hchello
