What time is it?
|
Alright, y'all got 10 seconds to get to the dance floor.
|
Whawk!
|
C'mon now...
|
|
(chorus)
|
America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance and it's called "The bird"
|
You don't need no finesse or no personality, you just need two arms and an attitude.
|
And everybody sing with me, come on now!
|
Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
|
|
Brothers, don't be cool. Women like it sometimes when you act a fool.
|
Sisters, don't be shy. Let your body get loose, you ain't to fat to fly.
|
Come on now! Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
|
|
Yes! Hold on now, this dance ain't for everybody. Just the sexy people.
|
White folks, you're much too tight.
|
You gotta shake your head like the black folks. You might get some tonight.
|
Look out!
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
Everybody! Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
|
|
Alright! When the horns blow, I want everybody on the floor.
|
You know this groove is sexy, you 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 to fly with.
|
|
Alright brothers, keep up with that.
|
Jerome, bring me my hat. Did I mess my hair up?
|
Fellas, y'all play something.
|
I'm go over here and talk to this girl.
|
|
... Hey Morris, tonight we had a good time to find a girlfriend.
|
|
I pledge allegiance to THE TIME.
|

|
What's the word? - Whawk!
