Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la
Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la
Heyeyeyeyey, oooh, oho, everybody say op-ah-la
Heyey, somebody say op-ah-la
Here's what I want you to do
Just put your hands in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
Well, if you really like me to rock real free
Somebody say oh yeah, somebody say yeah
Somebody say yeah
Oh ah, say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Everybody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up), hey yeaheah
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up)
This is a song about those bad days
Start out happy and end up sad days
Talkin' about that Murphy's law
Chill if it can go wrong, yes, it will
Went to the store to cop some groceries
Friday night and I had the munchies
Filled the car 'till it couldn't take it
One more bag of chips would break it
Went to the checkout, stood in line
Behind me was a girl who was too fine
I got in the end while they rang the total
Reached for my wallet, uh-oh, a bolo
Not my day, I felt like a dummy
Went to the store and forgot the money (ah)
Oh ah, say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Everybody say op-ah-la, hey, yeaheah
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la
Everybody say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head say op-ah-la
Everybody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up)
Everybody say op-ah-la (say oops up, say oops up)
Me and Amy under the covers
Seeing high hot potential lovers
Demon in the sack is her reputation
If school is sex, she's the graduation
Touching, holding, heavy breathing
I knew I'd get her, she's mad about teasing
Left on the light so I could see reaction
Amy's a freak, guaranteed satisfaction
She's as soft as a bubble bath
I'm as hard as Chinese math
Ready for the ultimate affection
Took out the packet, got my protection
Rolled it up in one hard stroke
It was my last thing, yes, it broke (ah)
Everybody say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la, doo doo-doo doo-doo doo ooh
Say oops upside your head, oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider, sat down beside her
Said what's in the bowl, bitch
Hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?
Hey, I need a break
It's like a day
When nothing seems to go your way
But you stick it out anyway
'Cause you're a champ
I don't know what I'm gonna do, gonna do
I don't know-a, I don't know-a, I don't know-a
I don't know what I'm gonna do, do
Ahaha, ahaha, ah
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head, come on
Say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah
Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la
Say baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, b-b-baby, say op-ah-la
Say op-ah-la
Everybody say oops upside your head, say oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la, doo doo-doo doo-doo doo ooh
Say oops upside your head, oops upside your head
Somebody say op-ah-la (say oops up)
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider, sat down beside her
Said what's in the bowl, bitch
Hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, what's in the bowl, bitch?

The song starts with a call and response introduction and encourages the audience to put their hands in the air and wave them. The lyrics then go on to describe a trip to the grocery store where the singer forgot their money and had a broken condom during a sexual encounter.
The song's chorus has the phrase "oops upside your head," which is a reference to a dance move from the 1970s. The move involves slapping oneself on the head with the hand right after clapping. The chorus also features the phrase "op-ah-la," which is a word made up by the writers of the song.
The song's second verse talks about a sexual encounter with a woman named Amy. The lyrics describe her as a freak and guarantee satisfaction, but the singer has a broken condom during the encounter. The song then returns to the chorus with the dance move and the made-up word.
