[English]

Yeah

Backin' that ass

Your mom says "Hi" — Jinx!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah no no

A-yeah-yeah-yeah

A-yeah-yeah-yeah

A-yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah - Jam!

Summertime in the city

And everybody's having sex

You know I just got a page from a girl

That I met last week at the Pay-less

Shoe Source

I also have a cutie to call

who loves the way I knock on her boots

Well it's time to mac

Let's handle that

In two-to-six hours,

We'll meet back and regroup

Now let's shoop

Roll up to her crib with some Bartles & James

Hop off the bus with the Alizé

Now hold up player, whatchu diggity-doing here?

I should diggity-ask you the same

Then she sang

Hey, boys I want you both

I hope that you think that's cool

(The same girl?)

I know most guys won't freak together

But she forgot about the golden rule — a huh huh

It's OK when it's in a three-way

It's not gay when it's in a three-way

With a honey in the middle there's some leeway

The area's grey in a one, two, three-way

Normally, I don't get down with dudes

But tonight is a special exception (Great)

See you're my best friend

Through thick and thin

Now it's time to make a triple connection

Lights off

Here in the dark (Here in the dark)

It's hard to tell (So hard to tell)

Where her body ends (La la)

And my homie's begins (Ew wee)

This rule dates back (The Golden Rule)

To ancient Greece (Talkin' about Caesar)

We're two Jack Trippers and a Chrissy

The new Three's Company

It's OK when it's in a three-way

It's not gay when it's in a three-way

With a honey in the middle there's some leeway

The area's grey in a one, two, three-way

Fellas. Get ready.

To impress a chick,

Helicopter dick, go!

Helicopter dick

Helicopter dick

To impress a chick

Do the helicopter dick

Wow

And all of that was OK

Cause it was in a three-way

It's quite clear when you see the instant replay (boom)

Maybe two is enough

That's what they'll say

But we'll say, "Hell no!"

One, two, three-way

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The golden rule
