Boom (ba dada dada) (x7)

I met a real cutie
He had a nice tight booty
He semed to be the frequent lover type

Let's cut right through the chase
Come on and get a taste
You've got to face it so that I can get high

Boom (ba dada dada) (x7)
Baby work it
My lips are sweet as candy (Alternate: Come on and show you're able)
I need a man that's handy (Alternate: And go below my navel)
Don't be a tease
Just give me what I like

I'm full of freakiness
So come and get with this (Alternate: So give my cat a kiss)
And make me purr (Alternate: And make it purr)
So we can do this right

Chorus (x2)
Boom (ba dada dada) (x7)

You know men are dogs
So go bark up someone else's tree

Here boy!
Come and get it

Baby work it
