Said, "I go by the name, Lois Lane" "And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman" I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose Flyin' through the air in pantyhose He may be very sexy, or even cute But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit" I said, "You need a man who has got finesse And his whole name across his chest He may be able to fly all through the night But can he rock a party 'til the early light? He can't satisfy you with his little worm But I can bust you out with my super sperm" I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it And I'm here and I'm there, I'm Big Bad Hank, I'm everywhere Just throw your hands up in the air And party harder like you just don't care Let's do it, don't stop, y'all, a-tick tock, y'all, you don't stop A-go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today?

I can't fit 'em all inside my OJ So I just take half, and bust 'em out I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house It was twelve o'clock one Friday night I was rocking to the beat, feeling all right Everybody was dancing on the floor Doing all the things they never did before And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean She came into the party, she came into the scene As she traveled deeper inside the room All the fellas checked out her white Sasson She came up to the table, looked into my eyes Then she turned around and shook her behind So I said to myself, its time for me to release My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece And now people in the house this is just for you A little rap to make you boogaloo Now the group ya hear is called Phase 2 And let me tell ya something we're a hell of a crew Once a week we're on the street Just a-cutting the jams and making it freak For you to party, got to have the move So we'll get right down and give you a groove For
