Ciara feat. Missy Elliott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Ciara:]
This train is coming back again
Extravaganza, you should run and tell a friend
Kings and queens are posted at the bar
Buckin' down, it's time to take it all

Walk that walk (walk)
Show me how you move it and you
Walk that talk (talk)
Let's just snap in to it
It's your chance now
Girl you better dance now
It's your time to show it all
The spotlight is on you, you better

Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work... bitch you better work!
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work, bitch you better work!

[Ciara:]
You gotta shake that thang like a donkey
And go hard for it, xxxxx you better work!

[Missy Elliott:]
You better swing from a paw like a monkey
And go hard for it, xxxxx you better work!

[Ciara:]
'Cause big girls get down on the flo'

[Ciara and Missy Elliott:]
And make it jiggle, jiggle, jiggle you ain't know
Ain't no shame, it's the name of game
Now everybody down to the flo', here we go!

[Ciara:]
We got the rhythm of the be-be-beat
We got the rhythm of the beat
We got the rhythm of the hands
Let's get the rhythm of the feet
Jump in, jump out
Jump in, jump out
Jump in, jump out
Jump in, jump out

Walk that walk (walk)
Show me how you move it and you
Walk that talk (talk)
Let's just snap in to it
It's your chance now
Girl you better dance now
It's your time to show it all
The spotlight is on you, you better

Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work, bitch you better work!
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work, bitch you better work!

You better eat that food like ya hungry
'Till there's nothing left, boy work

[Missy Elliott:]
'Cause I'm a cook that meal when you want it
It's the best, yes and have you for dessert

[Ciara:]
'Cause this girl get down on the flo'
And make it jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, ye ain't know

[Ciara and Missy Elliott:]
Ain't no shame, it's the name of game
Now everybody down to the flo', here we go!

[Ciara:]
We got the rhythm of the be-be-beat
We got the rhythm of the beat
We got the rhythm of the hands
Let's get the rhythm of the feet
Jump in, jump out
Jump in, jump out
Jump in, jump out
Jump in, jump out

Walk that walk (walk)
Show me how you move it and you
Walk that talk (talk)
Let's just snap in to it
It's your chance now
Girl you better dance now
It's your time to show it all
The spotlight is on you, you better

Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work, bitch you better work!
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work work work
Work work, bitch you better work!

It's out to be a fight in this club
A fight in this club, so get into my mug
Get into my mug,
Get buck, get buck
Get buck, get buck




Get buck, get buck
Get buck, get buck

Wong Samantha For the song title Work From Home? So I guess everyone owes this woman a check since she apparently is the first artist to record a song with "Work" in the title.
