Ugh! (ha ha ha ha)
Ugh! (ha ha ha ha)
Ugh! (ha ha ha ha)
Ugh! (ha ha ha ha)
Baby you're laughin'
But I'll be around for a while yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't you dig it, honey
While watching my style now, alright
Oh yeah
So many ways that one can play
Do the string-a-ling or the funky ?????
Too too sad, and it ain't no joke
Different strokes for different folks, now
Mama stroke, papa too
A stroke for me and a stroke for you
Ahh yeah
Stroke for a woman, stroke for a man
????????????? Ah yeah
Stroke for the game, now
Too too sad, and it ain't no joke
Different strokes for different folks, now
Awww yeah
Watch me do the stroke one time, baby
Watch me do the stroke two times now lady
I wanna do my stroke three times now
Let me do my stroke four times mama
Alright now, watch me
Let me do my stroke baby
Come on mama
