[English]

[Music]

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

[Music]

I got to pick the right one tonight.

Not going to make this too easy.

I got them alligators left and right

tight and teeny. Let's go. You want to

get me up my polo shirt?

You want to get me up my polo shirt?

You want to get me up my polo shirt?

Following my mini ski

[Music]

right now.

You want to pull it down. You want to

pull it with your teeth. Chow chow. Put

my collar at the pool loud. Your grandma

rolling in her grave right now. I got to

pick the right one tonight.

Want to play on the motor.

When I'm tripping on my upper thigh,

you want to hit it with that polar

stick.

Me up my polo shirt.

You want to get me up my polo shirt.

You want to get me off my polo shirt.

Polo in my mini skirt.

[Music]

You want to go to the right now.

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh,

[Music]

you want it so bad.

[Music]

Meo.

[Music]
