Chorus
It will be boobs and bums and boobs and bums and boobs and bums…Oh My!
Shake yuh tail feather mama, make the camera man sigh
Boobs and bums and boobs and bums and boobs and bums…Oh My!

Dem small man breds cyah test your plouging

The code of de Party Bredren is one minute, or less
Get out early if she wining crooked and hopeless
If she is a mampee you go need time to rest
And if she is a fox you better give she your best
