It's Chico Time
Chico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey! What time is it?
Chi-Chico
What time is it?

Sometimes it feels so good
I can't feel its so bad
My inner clock is tickin'
And the black beat drives me mad

It's erotic, exotic, hypnotic that's for sure
Put a smile on your face
To take you to a place you've never been before

(Get up)
Let it all hang out
(Jump back)
You wanna scream and shout!

Don't you wanna get out of line
Ev'rybody say what time is it
(What time is it)
It's Chico Time

Well, You can get delirious
If you take life too serious
It's Chico Time

Now, get up in this song
You can't do nothin' wrong
In front of the mirror like there's a party going on
If you want it, you got it, go get it
Baby, can't you see
Don't fantasize, just realize
Be happy to be free

(Get up)
Let it all hang out
(Jump back)
You wanna scream and shout

Don't you wanna get out of line
Ev'rybody say what time is it
(What time is it)
It's Chico Time

Well, You can get delirious
If you take life too serious

Shake it, lawdy
Come on baby, funk my body
Do it good and do it naughty
If you don't dig reality then
Baby just lay it on me
It's Chico Time

Go Chico, Go Chico, Go
(Go Chico, Go Chico, Go)
(Repeat)
Hand in the air, let me see you clap you're hands
Let me hear you all you Chicettes
All you Chicos

You can get delirious
If you take life too serious
You can get delirious
If you take life too serious

Bianca Mckay I have met Chico too, best day of my life.

It all went downhill afterwards -- how could any other experience ever live up to that day?  At first I hung out at red carpets trying to try and meet other celebrities but they all lacked charisma.  I even disguised myself as a vending machine and sneaked into MC Hammer's dressing room.  What an idiot I was; the contrast of Hammer Time only made things worse.

That's when I started using crack.  The euphoria was the closest I ever got to reliving my very own Chico Time.  They say the rock takes your money before it takes your soul and sadly that was true of me.  Before long I was living off foraged food scraps, moving from squat-to-squat and sleeping with only a ragged blanket and the thoughts of Chico Time to keep me warm.

The worst part is how everything came to get better for me -- but that's a story for another place.

Chico Time, not even once.

@wendigo53

You should get that looked at.

@jaspertickler1831
