Code Red
DJ JAZZY JEFF & THE FRESH PRINCE Lyrics

Here's a little story 'bout a Friday night,
Let me tell you a tale of what happened one Friday night.

Buckwild, 'cause yo, that's kind of my style,
I like to go all out and have a wild time.

Check it,
Listen carefully.

On the town with a girl named Kay-Bee,
I was out on the town with a girl named Kay-Bee.

And a bow-wow-wow yippie-yo yippie any way,
Just enjoying myself and having fun, no matter what anyone says.

I was straight out illin',
I was feeling great and having a good time.

Why do I say so? 'cause yo, my girl was home chillin',
I can tell you I was really having fun because my girlfriend was at home instead of out with me.

Fancy restaurant me and Kay frontin',
Kay-Bee and I were in a fancy restaurant, acting like we were somebody.

It was called Lay... um, Jay... um, somethin',
I can't remember the name of the restaurant.

I was ready to attack her, uh,
I was ready to make a move on her, if you know what I mean.

Giving the sex look like Dracula,
I was looking at her with a seductive gaze.

A little bit of soft music playin',
There was some gentle music playing in the background.

And Don Perrier, it was on, know what I'm sayin',
We were drinking some fancy champagne and ready for some action.

Every thing was lovely, but then,
Everything was going great, until...

What the damn, my girlfriend walked in,
My girlfriend suddenly appeared and ruined everything.

Oh my goodness, danger, trouble, dread,
I knew I was in for trouble and had to act fast.

Oh I'm dead, mayday code red
I'm in big trouble and need a way out.

My oh my, what am I to do?
I need to figure out a plan.

Gotta get away, cause my girlfriend's coming through,
I need to escape, because my girlfriend is about to catch me.

Um Jay, I gotta, um, well, see, there's well, this, um, excuse me,
Kay-Bee, I have to go now, something just came up.

To the back with the mucho-quickness,
I quickly made my way to the back of the restaurant.

My girl's gonna kill me and leave no witnesses,
My girlfriend is going to be very angry with me and won't let me get away with it.

I'm in the bathroom hiding like a punk,
I'm hiding in the bathroom, feeling like a coward.

But there's bars on the windows, I can't jump,
I can't escape through the window, because there are bars on it.

Exit stage left, quickly plan be,
I need to come up with another plan and fast.

Gotta find a way that my girl won't see me,
I need to find a way to avoid being caught by my girlfriend.

Crawling on the floor, I'm feeling sick,
I'm crawling on the floor and feeling very nervous.

Like this some old Charlie Chaplin flick,
I feel like I'm in a silent movie, trying not to be seen.

[unknown] pound and a round a mile-a-minute,
My heart is beating very fast and I'm feeling very anxious.

This time I really done did it,
I've really messed up this time.

Down on my hands and knees on the floor,
I'm on the floor, feeling very defeated.

I'm looking at the front door,
I'm staring at the door, hoping to find a way out.

Ready, set, make the dash,
I'm ready to make a run for it.

Her back is turned, maybe I can get past,
My girlfriend's not looking, maybe I can sneak away.

I almost made it, but then, damn, she turned her head,
I almost escaped, but then my girlfriend caught me in the act.

Code red
I'm in trouble, and I know it.

All was perfect, the ship was sailing,
Everything was going well and I was having a great time.

But now it's sinking, so yo, I'm bailin',
Now everything has gone wrong, and I need to get out of there.

I kept on runnin' even though she saw me,
I'm still running, even though my girlfriend knows what I've done.

And I sat and waited at home for baby to call me,
I went home and waited for my girlfriend to call me.

I watched a little TV,
I tried to distract myself by watching TV.

Phone started ringing 'bout 12:23,
Suddenly, the phone started ringing at 12:23 AM.

I picked it up real slow, and said,
I picked up the phone, feeling nervous.

"Mmm... hello?",
I answered the phone in a hesitant voice.

She wasn't having it, she snapped, went berserk,
My girlfriend was very angry and started yelling.

Girl made my head hurt,
I had a headache from all the arguing.

I tried to be as cool as I could be,
I tried to stay calm and collected.

I said hey, wasn't me,
I tried to deny what I had done.

She wasn't having that melody,
She didn't believe me and continued to yell.

Needless to say, she left me,
She broke up with me.

Another brother just couldn't control his head, (the other one)
I messed up and couldn't keep my actions under control.

Code red
I was in big trouble, and I knew it.
