Mr. Worldwide,

Flo Rida

This right here is called global warming, aha!

Work hard for the money so the money work hard for me,

I see the future that you’re too... to see,

Like you mammy... on top of me, don’t believe me what you see.

Is he one of the best?

Already told you...

Drink all night, nothing less,

Woke up, hangover, all to the next!

But my women...

You need him... and you need him,

I need him...

I’m an animal monster, beast!

You… that means you got married,

I just hit! At least!

Oh-oh baby want some more baby?

I love the way you do it ‘cuz you do it so crazy

I’m countin’ down so turn around

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 gotta make that booty go

Mmm-da da

Mmm-da da

Mmm-da da

Oh oh

Now I don’t have the verse to say

When you shake it my way,

You got me this...

I cannot make you stay!

I don’t have the verse to say

When you shake it my way,

You got me this...

Oh-oh baby want some more baby?

I love the way you do it ‘cuz you do it so crazy

I’m countin’ down so turn around

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 gotta make that booty go

Mmm-da da

Mmm-da da

Mmm-da da

Oh oh

Baby girl I want ya look keep on puttin’ on a show

Mmm-da da

Oh oh

Mmm-da da

Let’s go
