The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie
Lyrics:
[English]
Lipstick junkie, debunk the all in one
She came back wearing a smile
Lookin' like someone drugged me that wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial, it's just a turn-around and we go, oh
Well, then we go uh, uh-uh, oh
Tick-tock I want to rock you like the '80s
Cock-blocking isn't allowed
Tugboat Shiela is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd? We better get it on the go
Hey, now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
I said, "Hey, now"
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud
...
Rain Dance Maggie advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods?
Little did I know her body was warm, delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods, I want to lick a little bit
Hey, now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
You got the wrong girl
But not for long, girl
It's in the song, girl
'Cause I'll be gone, girl
Hey, now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to and showed me what to do
Our Maggie makes it in a cloud
I said, "Hey, now"
I want to rock this rowdy crowd
She told me to and showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud
...
But not for long, girl
It's in the song, girl
'Cause I'll be gone
Bye bye-bye, yeah
Bye bye-bye, girl
...
