[English]

Her engines started, his drive is dick

Inside his pocket, he's got a brick

But he can push it fast like a whip

We're bargaling now, this man is it

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

And now, go down

Stay there, don't move

And now, swerve

Drive my body like them curves

...

(Thi-thick is good)

And thicky, thicky, give it good

Thicky, thicky, give it good

Thicky, thicky, give is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

And now, go down

Stay there, don't move

Dearly departed, got back for this

He's got a rocket, I'm feeling it

He likes the kitty, I dog with it

No time for drinks now, just gimme it

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Thicky, thicky, thick is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

And now, go down

Stay there, don't move

And now, swerve

Drive my body like them curves

...

(Thi-thick is good)

And thicky, thicky, give it good

Thicky, thicky, give it good

Thicky, thicky, give is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

And now, go down

Stay there, don't move

And now, go down

Stay there, don't move

And now, swerve

Drive my body like them curves

...

(Thi-thick is good)

And thicky, thicky, give it good

Thicky, thicky, give it good

Thicky, thicky, give is good

Shake it (Thi-thick is good)

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Her engines started

  ➔ Past Simple (intransitive verb) or Passive Voice (implied agent)

  ➔ The verb "started" is in the past simple tense. Here, it functions as an "intransitive verb", meaning the engines initiated the action themselves, or it could be interpreted as a passive voice construction where the agent (who started them) is not mentioned.

• he's got a brick

  ➔ "Have got" for possession

  ➔ "he's got" is a contraction of "he has got". In informal English, "have got" (or "has got" for third person singular) is commonly used instead of "have" to express possession.

• he can push it fast like a whip

  ➔ Modal verb "can" for ability

  ➔ The modal verb "can" is used here to express the subject's (he) "ability" or capability to perform an action. It indicates what someone is able to do.

• We're bargaling now

  ➔ Present Continuous tense

  ➔ "We're bargaling" is the "present continuous" tense (subject + "be" verb + -ing form of the main verb). It describes an action that is happening at the exact moment of speaking.

• Shake it

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ This is an "imperative" sentence, used to give a direct command or instruction. The subject "you" is implied.

• Stay there, don't move

  ➔ Negative Imperative

  ➔ "Don't move" is a "negative imperative". It is used to give a command not to do something. It's formed with "Don't" + base form of the verb.

• Drive my body like them curves

  ➔ Colloquial use of "them" as a demonstrative adjective

  ➔ In informal or colloquial English, "them" is sometimes used instead of "those" as a "demonstrative adjective", especially before a plural noun, to point out specific things.

• give it good

  ➔ Colloquial use of "good" as an adverb

  ➔ Grammatically, an adverb (like "well") should modify the verb "give." However, in informal English, "good" is often used "colloquially as an adverb" meaning "well" or "thoroughly."

• got back for this

  ➔ Phrasal verb

  ➔ "Got back" is a "phrasal verb", which is a verb combined with an adverb or a preposition (or both) to create a new meaning. "Get back" means to return to a place or state.

• just gimme it

  ➔ Informal contraction and Imperative

  ➔ "Gimme" is an "informal contraction" of "give me." This phrase is an imperative, giving a direct command, and highlights informal spoken English.
