makers of the way we swing, and the underground talkhowyalike posse.

Now we're all gettin' stupid, and actin' a fool,
Anything that ya really want to do is cool,
So, Goldfingers, cutwutchyalike
[Now let me tell you who I am...Ah shit...]
Now if you're hungry, get yourself something to eat,
And if you're dirty, then go take a bath,
And doowutchyalike.
Stetsasonics, adjust for the hip-hop fans,
And since we're not your average everyday rap band,
Yo, Pianoman, playhowyalike
{piano solo}

Just act a fool, it's okay if you drool,
'Cause everybody's gonna strip, and jump in the pool,
[Wait a minute, wait a minute, don't take your clothes off yet, not yet,

Ah, everybody doowutchyalike,
Ooh, ooh, I see guys and girls dancin', ooh, ooh

Straight hair, curled, casual and glamor,
A shy girl, or loud like a bama.
From Connecticut, or from Louisiana,
Bad table ettiqutte, too much chatter,
Very well spoken, or real bad grammer,
I minority token, a brother in the slammer,
A free civilian with a house in Santa Ana,
If ya got a million, and live in Atlanta,
If you got a weak bladder, or can't climb a ladder,
What we're sayin' is, it really doesn't matter,
I need a word that sounds like "atta"
Slipped on a peel of banana,
Doowutchyalike.
[Yeah, cool, gettin' stupid, once again, you got the sound of the 
underground.  Baby dope is in the house.]
[Boyyy!!]
[Are we puttin' things in check, Baby D?]
[Too stupid check]
[I'm wit' it.  Yo Dave, let's show 'em some old school]
It makes no sense just standin' around,
Come on everybody, let's all...[Hang out]
Yeah, and doowutwelike,
From a lime to a lemon, a lemon to a lime,
Come on, young ladies, let's have...[Good times]
And doowutwelike.
Now, I can sing, I can dance, I'm the king of romance,
Are you sweet young ladies gonna give me a chance,
To doowutchyalike?
And get that thing packed tonight.
Vanessa Williams, ooh, you're so divine, 
Just wanted to put your name in my rhyme,
And doowutchyalike,
Yeah, everybody doowutchyalike.
[Hey, how 'bout you and me just go in the back room right now? Ok? just 
me and you]

Ooh, ooh
[Yo, don't take your clothes off, not yet]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
 [Gowhereyalike, and since you came here you gotta show and prove]
I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin' 
 [Sometimes I blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah]
I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
 [If you're fat, hungry, dirty, and need to take a bath: go wash your feet]
I see, I see, I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
I see, I see, I see, I see, I see guys and girls dancin'
[Just buggin' in the place to be, you got the sound of Shock G]
