Belly Dancin' Dina
Jungle Brothers Lyrics

Ahhh! Pleasant day in Egypt, I say
The singer is having a good time in Egypt.

Say, what is this?
The singer is curious about something they've seen.

[Afrika] A tisket, a tasket I wonder what's in that basket Sweet Daddy strolled by and said haven't you seen here? That right there is Belly Dancin Dina
The singer wonders what is in the basket and another person tells them it's Belly Dancin Dina.

Now I'm all junglistcally horny Desperate to see this fine young lady Toot, toot, toot, pulled out my flute Yeah, she was so cute I said I like the way you move around Do you want to get down? I wanted to take her home with me Behind the bush and up my tree So I blowed and blowed and I kept on blowing Hey, wait a minute, baby! Where you going?
The artist is turned on by Belly Dancin Dina and wants to get intimate with her, but she ends up leaving.

[Mike G] Dina! Never should have seen her Hooked by her look now I feel like I need her Body so pure, she's shaped like an hourglass As I turned around I peeped out her megablast I needed acquaintance cause I had no patience Drugged (by her bellybutton?) no, by her radiance The hips did dips so I did flips The pucker of her lips could sink battleships The basket's glowing from the diamonds' glitter If I only had it in me to go get with her The moment I got it I needed a casket Cause she blew me a kiss and jumped back in the basket
Another person is also captivated by Belly Dancin Dina, citing her beauty and figure. They fantasize about being with her, but she ends up leaving abruptly.

[Hook] Belly Dancin Dina! Boy, you should have seen her The way she moved her body All across the dance floor Tore me all apart, straight to my heart And it was nothing but a freaky art
The chorus describes Belly Dancin Dina's mesmerizing movements on the dance floor and the impact it had on the singers.

[Kool DJ Red Alert] Live from 113th Street and Seventh Avenue Straight out the pyramid, we gon bring to you The live one they call Belly Dancin Dina!
Belly Dancin Dina is announced by a DJ's introduction.

[Afrika] Well, today's the day, hooray hooray Yippee yie yo, yippee yie yie yay Everybody's waiting for her to arrive Oooh, she makes my nature rise All dressed up in her sparkling clothing I might pass out when that basket opens Ordinarily I'm not the kind who fiends Could it be her cute little finger tambourines? I don't know but it's making me hard (How hard?) Harder by the yard Thousands of brothers had congregated Stone boom, waited and waited They came in peace, they paid their funds
The artist anticipates Belly Dancin Dina's arrival with excitement and arousal, noticing the outfits and adornments she wears. They imply that others also feel the same way, as a crowd has assembled to see her.

[Kool DJ Red Alert] OK, Y'ALL HERE SHE COMES!
The DJ announces Belly Dancin Dina's arrival.

[Mike G] I've got to go get her (Word?) And if you got bananas I'll be glad to betcha Push back my chair to walk across the floor As I got closer her body shook more My eyes were set on her jelly-like belly And if I'm dreaming don't nobody tell me People started standing, I started losing sight And I was really feeling like this was my night I dipped to one side and then to another Ahh, I see Dina! Oooh, my brother I made a quick to dash to put my hands on ­ Poof! Dina was gone...
One of the artists tries to approach Belly Dancin Dina but she disappears quickly before they can do so.

[Afrika] Where she disappeared to no one knows All she left behind were her silky clothes Smelled the smell of her sweet perfume Heard a voice say: "I'll be back real soon" Say, say, where you going?
Another speaker wonders where Belly Dancin Dina went, and notes that she left behind her clothes and a lingering scent. They hear a voice say that she will return soon.
