Steppin' off lookin' bootylicious and jingiling
When you walk, I see it baby girl
When you talk, I believe it baby girl

Little touch is a ditty
Love to work the kitty like purrrrrrr
She loves to stirr it up, purrrrrr

'Cause she's the type that'll get arousy u[p
Get you excited and call her boyfriend up (ohh)
