Missy Talking:

I know there somebody out there who had a nasty

nasty friend who wanna go around humping everybody

Can I get a hoe? You know what I'm saying? So

I'ma talk about this one I had a fewa years ago

Verse One:

I had a friend named Cutie Tootie

Tootie turned tricks to get some Gucci

Known as loose bootie

Truly, she was a freak in the evenin

And if she wasn't teasin, then give me one reason

Why she do dat? Always knew dat

She was hot as da nectar

Hector said he pecked her, direspected her

Cause he bang bang swang in his dingalang

Broke his back long range

And make the ugly bitch sing

Chorus:

Oooh oooh

Why you hurtin me?

Tell me why more

Oooh oooh

Oooh oooh

Why you hurtin me?

Tell me why more

Oooh oooh

Verse Two:

Cutie Tootie with her sight

And if she humped Ralph

She humped Bobby, Ricky and Mike

Tight, is the way she wore her dresses

Has she learned her lesson

From all the dick testing

Now I'm guessing

She's laying in a casket

In a yellow basket

For a Gucci jacket

Daggit, I wish she didn't do those nasty things

Cause he made the ugly bitch sing

Chorus

Verse Three:

Tootie didn't know the facts of life

Staying up in clinics

Loosy bootie made trife

Feeling, she got the heeby geebies

Quick to give you freebies

Underneath the staircase in Brooklyn

Neighbors out the window sure was lookin

She greasy like chicken

I don't give a cotton pick and

She can do her thing

Cause me and her don't hang

The ugly bitch sang

Chorus

Missy Talking:

So you know what? This should be a lesson for anybody

who's hanging with someone who's dirty, nasty, stank

Once again going around humping everybody

Everybody and anybody and anything

That's why you make the ugly bitch sing
