Big and Chunky

Big and Chunky

Moto Moto

Madagascar 2

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

I like them big, I like them chunky

I like them big, I like them plumpy

I like them round, with something, something

They like my sound, they think I'm funky

My name is Moto Moto, yeah, you say it double

Say my name girl

Say it again

I'm nice and smooth, so nice and sassy

None of the hippo's here, don't wanna get next to me

I like them chunky

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy

I like them hippos, that's in the wild

I like they attitude, I like they style

The way they walk, walk, the way they talk, talk

I like them with an appetite to eat a shark, shark

And when the dog barks

They eat them too

I love every inch, oh, yes I do

I like them chunky

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy

Ain't nothing wrong with loving chunky

I like them funny, I like them spunky

I like them witty, I like them smart

Girl, I like your big

Your big ol' heart, what?

Girl, you're crazy, she drive me crazy

I love my lady, she nice and shapely

She nice and spacey, take so much space up

Like a big ol' spaceship, yeah so gracious

It's all in the way she move

It's all in the way she move

It's all in the way, it's all in the way

It's all in the way she move

What she do? What she do?

What she do? What she do?

What she do? What she do?

What she do? What she do?

What she do? What she do?

What she do? What she do?

What she do? What she do?

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy

Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy

Ain't nothing wrong

Ain't nothing wrong with lovin' chunky

And plumpy

Plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy, plumpy
