Performed by Left Eye
From Left Eye's 2001 solo album, Supernova.
Shake it down now
One time now
Two times
Shake it down now
Remember way back in the day
Hey hey
When the kids from around the way
Used to come out and play
And the double dutch bus
That you're bumpin' on down the street
Tryna move your feet
While you shake your little booty to the groovy beat
Uh to the beat, to the beat, beat
You hit the corner and you stopped
"Hey y'all there's a party on the other block -
We hit the jackpot, jackpot what what!"
And it's only 12 o'clock
And the sun is hot
Free soda pop
We 'bout to rock, rock, rock, rock...
What's your name?
Lisa
And where you from?
Ninth Street
Where you goin'?
To the party
Can I come?
Uh-huh
Oooh, they playin' hopskotch
Come on, come, hop, hop with me, come on
Oooh, them boys is pot-lockin'
Come on, come, come, dance with me
Chorus:
We were dancin' all night long
We were dancin' all night long
Music bumpin' and we're jumpin'
And they played our favorite song
I'm a big-city girl, from all over the world
And I do what I wanna do
Right foot, left shoe
And you take it on down and you shake it around
Bring it up, clap your hands
And you turn it all around
Chorus
Remember when we did the wop (ha ha)
And you used to make that head bob
Like it would never stop
And them other grown folks
Gettin' busy with the jiggalo
Drinkin' Michelob
It was 6 AM better hit the road
Hit the road, hit the road, road
Them phat gold chains and high-top fades
Hey
Run-DMC was all you ever played
Shell-toe Adidas
No strings
Mmm-mm
Somethin' cookin' in the pot
'Bout to hit the spot
Boombox
Play me some of that hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop...
What's your name?
Lisa
And where you from?
Ninth Street
Where you goin'?
To the party
Can I come?
Uh-huh
Oooh, they 'bout to get it on
Come on, come, come, dance with me, come on
Oooh, they on the dance floor
Come on, come, come, rock with me
Chorus
Come on, come, come dance with me, come on
Come, come, groove with me, come on
Come, come, rock with me, come on
Come, come, hop with me
Chorus
I'm a big-city girl, from all over the world
And I do what I wanna do
Right foot, left shoe
And you take it on down and you shake it around
Bring it up, clap your hands
And you turn it all around
Chorus
