Lyrics:

[English]

I'm gonna have some fun

(What do you consider fun?)

Fun, natural fun

I'm in heaven

With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend

There's no beginning, and there is no end

Time isn't present in that dimension

He'll take my arm

When we're walking, rolling and rocking

It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man

Feels like I'm dreaming, but I'm not sleeping

I'm in heaven

With the maven of funk mutation

'S musicians such as

Raise expectations to a new intention

No one can sing

Quite like Smokey

Wailin' and skankin' to Bob Marley

Reggae's expanding with Sly and Robbie

Oopsy mama say the

Oopsy mama say the

Oopsy mama say the

Oopsy mama

All the weekend

Boyfriend was missing

I surely miss him

The way he'd hold me in his warm arms

We went insane when we took cocaine

Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon

Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon

Stepping in-a rhythm to-a

Who needs to think when your feet just go?

With a hiditihi, with a hipitiho

Who needs to think when your feet just go?

Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon

Who needs to think when your feet just go?

Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon

If you see him

Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend

Well, he's the genius of love

He's got a greater depth of feeling

Well, he's the genius of love

He's so deep
