"Let me touch your button"

If you got your tickets to the carnival,
please report to the dance floor right now!
She says when I am Wyclef you such a dodgy geezer.
I said,
let me touch your button,
let me touch your button,
let me touch your, let me touch your, let me touch your button (x2)

(Lyrics for 'Let me touch your button' are incomplete)

"Rouge et Bleu" (In French)

Rouge et Bleu 4x
toute kote nou pase yape di rouge et bleu
gen sa ki panike yape rele pompie
man pa gen pompie ki ka eten du feu sa
nan tanpete, eclair, l'orage
ti moun'yo nou pa bezoin fe sovage
negre ki te vole tenis pou mamwe yo se domage
yon lot negre vole'l nan pre'l
li tire'l ak gro sa'm

(wo'y) yon vendredi apres midi
nan yon tv on avion pase
li lage yon malet blan
manman panse se farine
lal lakay pou'l fe labouwi
ti moun yo mange'l yo mouri
rouge et bleu 4x

gende le mwen krie pou rouge et blue
gen sa ki pran bato bato'a maque rouge et blue
yo rive Miami yo voye yo tounin
rouge et bleu 4x

pou kisa yo pas voye Cubain tounin
se pase noumen nouse pitit Toussaint,
Jean Jacques Dessalines Boukman
(wo'y) gade li leve gram' matin
poukisa? poul lal kondi taxi
kikote? nan New York city
pou li fe on ti lajan poul voye ba noun Jeremie
pendan lap kondi li tande sti-kow
le'l rive li we se yon oldo-w
(woy) negre yo tire zam'm, chanse pouli la sante
bulletproof misie rele mesi Jesus
rouge et bleu 4x

zange ki te proteje'l la te abiye en rouge et bleu
s'il vous plait ti moun sispan'n tire
pou rouge et bleu trop sang koule
Haiti, Paris, Montreal, New york city
