Lyrics

Comin' at you right now, ladies and gentlemen, the Tom Tom Club, so check it out! Ha! Shock! Shock! Shock! Shock! Shock! Hoooo! Uh-Huh! Check it out! (Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?) I'm gonna have some fun! (What do you consider fun?) Fun, nasty fun! The girls can do it too, y'all! 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 (sure ain't!) 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 when I'm not sleeping Hahahaha! Oo-ha! Shock! Huagh! Shock! Huagh! Shock! Check it out! 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 Psychedelic and Funkadelic! Uh-huh! And everything is just jumping outta sight! All night! Check it out! Stepping in-a rhythm to-a Kurtis Blow Who needs to think when your feet just go? With a hippity-hop, with a hippity-ho Who needs to think when your feet just go? (Bohannon!) Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon Who needs to think when your feet just go? (Bohannon!) Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon Ha! James Brown, James Brown! yeow! James Brown, James Brown! yoooo! He still is the Godfather of Soul, y'all, so check it out! Feels good to me! Shock! Shock! Check it out! 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 Freeze! Looks frozen to me! Who dat? Who dat? Now who dat tryin' to be bad? You mother! Who dat? Who dat? Now who dat tryin' to be bad? You mother! Who dat? Who dat? Now who dat tryin' to be bad? You mother! Who dat? Who dat? Everybody! Rock the house! Yeah! Uh-huh! Oo-ha! Okay that's it for the Tom Tom Club, nice to be here! We gotta change back into the Talking Heads! So when I say "bye," we gotta go! Okay! Okay bye! (Thank you, good to be here!)
