Hold on, hold on, why y'all beatin' on shit, what's that mean?
Hold up, do y'all wanna learn a new dance?
Are U qualified 2 learn one?
Uh huh, that's what I thought, who can dance out there?
OK, we gonna try a new dance
And if I don't see everybody doin' it, I don't wanna see U no more
Jellybean, are we ready? (Yep, 1 2 3 4)
Y'all better do this one
What time is it?
Alright, y'all got 10 seconds 2 get 2 the dance floor
And...
Wawk!
America, have U heard?
I got a brand new dance and it's called "The Bird"
U don't need no finesse or no personality
U just need 2 arms and an attitude and everybody sing with me
Come on now!
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa! {x2}
Brothers, don't be cool
Women like it sometimes when U act a fool
Sisters, don't be shy
Let your body get loose, U ain't 2 fat 2 fly
Come on now!
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Y'all sing it with me, goes like this
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Yes!
Hold on now, this dance ain't 4 everybody, just the sexy people
White folks, U're much 2 tight
U gotta shake your head like the black folks
U might get some 2night
Look out!
America, have U heard?
I got a sexy new dance called "The Bird"
U don't need no finesse or no personality
U just need 2 arms and an attitude and everybody sing with me
Come on now!
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Well, come on!
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Everybody
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Come on, say
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Alright, when the horns blow, I want everybody on the floor
U know this groove is sexy, U ain't got no excuse no more
Jerome, I wanna show 'em where we live
Siamese twins joined at the suit, fellas, give me something 2 fly with
Wawk!
The Wright brothers can't fuck with that
Jerome, bring me my hat
Did I mess my hair up?
Fellas, y'all play something
I'ma go over here and talk 2 this girl
I pledge allegiance 2 The Time
Can y'all sing that? Sing it!
I said I pledge allegiance 2 The Time
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Wawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
Fellas? (Yeah!)
What's the word? (Wawk!)
When U wanna get some, what do U do? (Do "The Bird!")
Fellas? (Yeah!)
What's the word? (Wawk!)
When U wanna get some, what do U do? (Do "The Bird!")
America? (Yeah!)
What's the word? (Wawk!)
When U wanna get some, what do U do? (Do "The Bird")
Take it home!
Wawk! {x2}
Chili Sauce
It's the last call 4 alcohol
If U ain't got what U want, U got 2 get the hell out of here!
Thank U
