Can I drop the bomb Oh, yes, I can Move with the groove Smooth like Geechie Dan
Who is the man That kid there Who is the chick With the pick in her hair
Angela, uhh, Davis And we roll like Avis Rent-a-Car kid, there you are
You know where to find me Whenever you need me If you know the Ave, follow the path To the land of the aftermath
