[Verse 1]
Hey, is that your old lady over there, Satch?
No, man, that ain't none of my old lady
I used to talk to her, but there the cat she go with now
And he just busted her, now listen to this (What?)
[Verse 2]
I used to think that you
Were really cool
I used to think that you
Never would be nobody's fool
[Verse 3]
Lemme tell you, baby, you're a (Jive turkey)
Gimme the strength (Jive turkey)
Now, baby, you're a (Jive turkey)
Oh, yeah (Jive turkey)

Just to be with you
I put my trust in you
'Cause you could do the do

Ooh, got nothin' to lose

Early in the mornin'

Go out and find me somebody new

Yeah, my name is Satch, but, uh, what you say (Jive turkey)
