So, look here mama, umm

I'm feelin' like I, umm

I, umm, kinda want them numbers

So, umm, I don't know

Could I ... could I call U sometime?

Ooh, ooh!

Data bank

I'm feelin' like I wanna put U in my data bank

If U got the love, I got the time (Data bank)

Just give me your phone number, I'll drop a dime on ya (Data bank)

Think I won't?

Hurt me!

On the phone, I may be shy (Data bank)

I don't know, U wanna ... U wanna go on a picnic or somethin'?

But in living color, I'm a real neat guy (Data bank)

Oh!

When the other brothers tell U they are better

U better look real close, they might be a bedwetter

Hey!

Dig this...

6 feet tall, skinny legs and all

All they really know is basketball

Then I say, give me that phone number

Mama, we can pop all night (doo waa)

I might be small, but so is dynamite

Hey!

Ouch! (doo waa, doo waa)

And then I say...

Hey U, am I gettin' through?

Ha, ha, oww!

Data bank

I'm feelin' like I wanna put U in my data bank

Data bank {x2}

Ooh! (doo waa, doo waa)

School's in

The teacher got a guitar

If U didn't come 2 turn it out

Might as well get yo ass in your car

And get on down the road

Get on down the road, yeah

{"Data bank" repeats in BG 'til end}

Keep goin', right there, don't...

See if ... see if the trumpet work

Does it work?

Well, come on

Play!

Yeeaahh!

I'm feelin' like I wanna put U in my data bank

Brass!

Oww!

Yeah!

Can... can U play it again?

Oww!

Ow Ow Oww!

Listen...

School's in

The teacher got a saxophone

If U didn't come 2 turn it out

U might as well leave it alone

Eric.. Leeds, that is

Kid, Movie Star

Funky, nasty

Drives an ugly car

Hold up, hold up

Mark, come on

U're in the wrong key cousin

No, no, wait

Oww!

I'm feelin' like I wanna put U in my data bank

What happened 2 that melody we had?

What if...

We just gonna groove?

Fine

We just gonna groove or what?

Well, somebody got 2 solo or somethin'

Hmm, I don't know

12 inch

Think it ain't?

Mark

School's in

The teacher got a funky bass

If U didn't come 2 turn it out

Get your frail ass out my face

I'm feelin' like I wanna put U in my data bank {x2}

I didn't ... I didn't call the horns

I didn't call the horns

Why y'all got 2 play 'em?

It's cool, OK, alright, Lisa

I don't wanna hear no horns, I just wanna hear Lisa

Oh, oh, that's dog, that's dog

I didn't call that either

OK, I quit

No, I'm quittin'

Lisa, stop!

OK, wait a minute

Susan, fade ... fade the shit out

See, I know, yeah OK (doo waa, doo waa)

Fade it out

(Data bank)
