You need to stop playing ’round with all them clowns and the wanksters

Good girls gotta get down with the gangsters

Go ‘head girl, put some back and some neck up on it

While I stand up in the background and check up on it

Ooh, boy, you looking like you like what you see

Won’t you come over and check up on it

I’m ‘a let you work up on it

Ladies let ’em check up on it, watch it while he check up on it

Dip it, pop it, twerk it, stop it, check on me tonight

If you got it, flaunt it, boy, I know you want it

While I turn around, you watch me check up on it

Ooh, you watchin’ me shake it, I see it in ya face

Ya can’t take it, it’s blazin’, you watch me in amazement
