Bust A Move
Young MC

This here's a jam for all the fellas,
try to do what those ladies tell us.
Get shot down 'cuz you're overzealous,
play hard to get and females get jealous.
Okay, smarty, go to a party,
girls are scantily clad and showin' body.
A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her,
but she's standing on the wall, like you 's Poindexter
Next day's function, high class luncheon,
food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
Music comes on, people start to dance,
but then you ate so much you nearly split your pants.
A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin'
sits down next to you and starts talkin'
Says she wants to dance, cuz she likes to groove,
So come on, fatso, and just bust a move.

[Chorus]

You're on a mission, and you're wishin'
someone could cure your lonely condition.
Looking for love in all the wrong places,
no fine girls just ugly faces.
From frustration, first inclination,
is to become a monk and leave the situation.
But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope,
so don't hang yourself with a celibate rope.
New movie's showin', so you're goin'
could care less about the five you're blowin'
Theater gets dark just to start the show,
then you spot a fine woman sitting in your row.
She's dressed in yellow, she says, "Hello,
come sit next to me, you fine fellow."
You run over there without a second to lose,
and what comes next, hey bust a move.

[Chorus]

In the city, ladies look pretty,
guys tell jokes so they can seem witty.
Tell a funny joke just to get some play,
then you try to make a move, and she says, "No way."
Girls are fakin', goodness sakin',
they want a man who brings home the bacon.
Got no money, and you got no car,
then you got no woman, and there you are.
Some girls are sadistic, materialistic,
Lookin' for a man makes them opportunistic,
They're lying on the beach, perpetrating a tan,
so that a brother with the money can be their man.
So on the beach you're strollin', real high rollin',
everything you have is yours and not stolen.
A girl runs up with something to prove,
so don't just stand there, bust a move.
Just bust a move.

[Chorus]

[bongo interlude]

Your best friend Harry, has a brother Larry,
in five days from now, he's gonna marry.
He's hopin' you can make it there, if you can,
cuz in the ceremony you'll be the best man.
You say neato, check your libido,
and roll to the church in your new tuxedo.
The bride walks down just to start the wedding,
and there's one more girl you won't be getting.
So you start thinking, then you start blinking.
A bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking.
She thinks you're kinda cute, so she winks back,
and now you're feeling really firm, cuz the girl is stacked.
Reception's jumpin', bass is pumpin',
look at the girl, and your heart starts thumpin'.
Says she wants to dance to a different groove,
Now you know what to do, G, bust a move.

[Chorus]
