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 you qualified to 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 you no more.
|
Jellybean, are we ready? Y'all better do this one.
|
|
What time is it?
|
Alright, y'all got 10 seconds to get to the dance floor and... whawk!
|
|
(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)
|
|
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.
|
|
I pledge allegiance to THE TIME.
|
Can y'all sing that? Sing it!
|
|
Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!
|
|
Fellas? - Yeah!
|
What's the word? - Whawk!
|
When you wanna get some, what'd you do? - Do "The Bird!".
|
|
Take it home!
|
Chili sauce!
|
|
It's the last call for alcohol.
|
If you ain't got what you want, you got to get the hell outta here!
|
|
Thank you ...
