Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're kickin tonight, and you're feelin' alright, somebody say ho
[Verse 2]
Ho, ho, and you don't stop
[Verse 3]
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
[Verse 4]
Work, work, work, that's all I ever hear you talkin' about
What happened to play sometimes, all work no play is good for now
You square I do declare, become aware, come over here
Share this hyper-funky party atmosphere, I think it's fair
To split your time more evenly than you do, get the clue
Get down to exactly what I'm about to do, is that hard for you?
I didn't think so, so let's go with the flow, and you know
You can work it out with Sista Mo'
[Verse 5]
Work it out
Work, work it out
[Verse 6]
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
[Verse 7]
Are you ready to get into this funky, funky, funky stuff
I hope that there will be enough, there is no need for me to buff
Cause what I'm about to do is set the mood just so you get the picture
Let the rhythm get fly, hit ya, I will lead the people with ya
Sway a little mo', I know the flow will get you so
Why don't you try and let go of your entire ratio
Let the music fill your shoes, take care of all your worldly blues
I'll try my best to do the rest, so what do you say? Is that good news?
[Verse 8]
I'll wait to slap you in the face with good intentions
I'm forgettin' to mention, Monie Mo' imaginative invention
Bein' able to party Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Even Sunday, catch my drift? Okay next section
Time to work it out, you got the clout
The ability to achieve your every need so let me see
You can do me, do it now
I'll show you how, let me see you shout
With Sister Monie we can work it out
[Verse 9]
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
[Verse 10]
Well, whaddya, whaddya, whaddya know?
Sweet little Mo' gettin hype, you better believe that I'm the type
'Cause no one else rock the mic as nice as me
Tell fresh MCs to let me be, I don't want no beef
How many, how many, how many times must you make yourself a slave
You're diggin' a, diggin' a grave, get out the corner that you made
Won't you live just a little, get out of the middle
Kill the doubt, with Sister Monie you can work it out
[Verse 11]
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
Clap you hands to the beat, just clap your hands to the beat
[Verse 12]
If you're kickin tonight, and you're feelin' alright, somebody say ho
Ho, ho, and you don't stop
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
Work, work, work, work, work, work it out
