Lyrics

One, two, three, four, five.

Ev ’ry bod y in the car.

So, come on, let’s ride to the li quor store a round the cor ner.

The boys say they want some gin and juice, but I real ly don’t wan na.

Beer bust like I had last week.

I (Eb)must stay deep ’cause talk is cheap.

I like (Bb7)An gel a, Pam el a, San dra and Rit a and (Eb)as I con tin ue you (Eb5)know they’re get tin’ sweet er.

So, what can I do?

I real ly beg you my Lord.

To me flirt in’ is just like a sport.

(Bb7)An y thing fly, it’s all good.

Let me (Eb)dump it, please set in the (CN.C.)trum pet.

A lit tle bit of (Bb7)Mon i ca in my life, a lit tle bit of (Eb)Er i ca by my side, a lit tle bit of (Bb7)Rit a’s all I need.

A lit tle bit of (Eb)Tin a’s what I see.

A lit tle bit of (Bb7)San dra in the sun, a lit tle bit of (Eb)Mar y all night long, a lit tle bit of (Bb7)Jes si ca, here I am, a lit tle bit of (Eb)you makes me your man.

Jump (Bb7)up and down and move it all a round.

Shake your (Eb)head to the sound, put your hands on the ground.

Take (Bb7)one step left and one step right, (Eb)one to the front and one to the side.

(Bb7)Clap your hands once and clap your hands twice and if it (Eb)looks like this then you do in’ it A right.

tle bit of

Trum pet,

the trum pet.

Trum pet,

the trum pet.

A lit tle bit of Mon i ca in my life, a lit tle bit of Er i ca by my side, a lit tle bit of Rit a’s all I need.

A lit tle bit of Tin a’s what I see.

A lit tle bit of (Bb7)San dra in the sun, a lit tle bit of (Eb)Mar y all night long, a lit tle bit of (Bb7)Jes si ca, here I am, a lit tle bit of (Eb)you makes me your man.

(Bb7)I do all to (Eb)fall in love with a girl like you ’cause (Bb7)you can’t run and you can’t hide.

(Eb)You and me gon na touch the sky.
