[English]

Me no bubbletious

Me smoke heavy tar

Me be grooving slowly where you are

Notify your next of kin

'Cause you're never coming back

I've been dropping beats since back in black

And we'll paint by numbers

'Til something sticks

I don't mind doin' it for the kids

So come on

Jump on board, take a ride, yeah

You'll be doing it all right

Jump on board, feel the high

'Cause the kids are alright

You've got a reputation

Well, I guess that can be explored

You're dancing with the chairman of the board

Take a ride on my twelve cylinder symphony

But if you got other plans

The purpose of a woman is to love her man

And we'll paint by numbers

'Til something sticks

I don't mind doing it for the kids

So come on

Jump on board, take a ride, yeah

Doing it all right

Jump on board, feel the high

'Cause the kids are alright

I'm gonna give it all of my lovin'

It's gonna take up all of my love

I'm gonna give it all of my lovin'

It's gonna take up all of my love

I'm gonna give it all of my lovin'

It's gonna take up all of my love

I'm gonna give it all of my lovin'

It's gonna take up all of my love

Come down from the ceilin'

I didn't mean to get so high

I couldn't do what I wanted to do

When my lips were dry

You can't just step up and leave me

I'm a singer in a band

Well, I like drummers baby

You're not my bag

Jump on board, take a ride, yeah

You'll be doing it all right

Jump on board feel the high, yeah

Jump on board, take a ride, yeah

You'll be doing it all night

Jump on board, feel the high, yeah

'Cause he gets it alright

I'm an honorary Sean Connery, born seventy four

There's only one of me

Single handedly raising the economy

Ain't no chance, the record company dropping me

Press be asking do I care for sodomy

I don't know, yeah, probably

I've been looking for serial monogamy

Not some bird that looks like Billy Connelly

But for now I'm down for ornithology

Grab your binoculars, come follow me

I like to drink it out but never like to sip it uhh uhh

I like to drink it out but never like to sip it uhh uhh

I like to drink it out but never like to sip it uhh uhh

I like to drink it out but never like to sip it uhh uhh

I like to drink it out but never like to sip it uhh uhh

I like to drink it out, drink it out, drink it out

Like a beat ya

To the floor, to the beat I got

To the floor, to the beat I got

To the floor, to the beat I got

Starting out

To the beat, to the beat I got

To the beat, to the beat I got

To the beat, to the beat I got
