Shaggy & Rayvon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shaggy ha
Ravyon
Sun and fun in the
Atmosphere, oh yes
In the summertime when
The weather is high
You can stretch right up
When the weather is fine
You've got women
You've got women
On your mind
I'm gonna drive and ride and
See now what I can find
Now if her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
And if her daddy's poor
Then do as you feel
Speedin' down the lane even
Thought the speed limit's 25
And when the sun goes down
I'll make it with my cutie pie
Weh me say
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as a honey
Sting like bumble bee
Shaggy say
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as honey
Sting like bumble bee
[Rap]
It's a summertime affair
In the atmosphere
I man love off her attire
And the clothes she wear
Some burn off them with tyre
And a draw down a gear
Some a shine up wax up
Not a sign of snare
Got to be rolling in my
Christmas so the girl them stare
This is Shaggy and Rayvon
As your ultimate pair
Taking care of our career
So tell the world beware
'Cause it's a brand new
Selection for your musical ear
We say what we want and
We say what we need
And we love everybody
And we do as we please
And when the weather is fine,
We go fishin' we
Go fishin' in the sea
We are happy to live life
That's our philosophy
Now if her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
And if her daddy's poor
Then do as you feel
Speedin down the lane even
Thought the speed limit's 25
And when the sun goes down
I'll make it with my cutie pie
Sweat a run off her body
With her caramel skin
I man smiled at her she
Looked at me and grinned
I offered her a drink she said
Juice and Gin
And I whispered in her ear
I asked how you doin'
Where was it that I reside
And I told her Brooklyn
Atmosphere filled with romance
Her eyes sparkling
Just her voice and what
She said let my poor head spin
Raggamuffin Shaggy
With a musical swing
I say
Pretty little woman
Sexy as can be
Sweet as a honey
Sting like bumble bee
In the summertime
When the weather is high
You can stretch right up
And touch the sky
When the weather is fine
You've got women
You've got women
On your mind
I'm gonna drive and ride
And see what I can find
Now if her daddy's rich
Take her out for a meal
And if her daddy's poor
Then do as you feel
Speedin' down the lane even
Thought the speed limit's 25
And when the sun goes down
I'll make it with my cutie pie
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as a honey
Sting like bumble bee
Pretty little women
Sexy as can be
Sweet as honey
Sting like bumble bee
[Repeat: x 2]

It's a summer time affair, Shaggy ha! Rayvon
Sun and fun in the Atmosphere, oh yes
In the summertime when the weather is high
And you could stretch right up and touch the sky
Now when the weather is fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
I'm gonna drive in light and see now what I can find
Now if her daddy is rich, take her out for a meal
And if her daddy is poor, just a do what you feel
Speeding down the lane even though the speed limit is twentyfive
And when the sun goes down, I'll make it with my cutie pie
Weh me say! Pretty little woman sexy as can be
Sweet as honey, sting like bumblebee
Shaggy say! Pretty little woman sexy as can be
Sweet as honey, sting like bumblebee
It's a summer time affair in the Atmosphere
I'm a lover I tie around the clothes she wear
Some o' them a burn off them tire, some o' them drive down gear
Well, some o' them shine up an' a wax up, not a sign off smear
Got to be rolling in my chrisas that the girl them stare
This is Shaggy and Rayvon as your ultimate pair
Taking care of our careers so tell the world beware
'Cause it's a brand new selection for your musical ear
We say, we say what we want and we say what we need
And we love everybody but we do as we please
And when the weather is fine
We go fishing, we go fishing in the sea
We're always happy to live life, that's our philosophy
Now if her daddy is rich, take her out for a meal
And if her daddy is poor, just a do as you feel
Speeding down the lane even though the speed limit is twentyfive
And when the sun goes down, I'll make it with my cutie pie
Sweat a run off her body with her caramel skin
I man smiled at her, she looked at me and gave me a grin
I man offered her a drink and she said 'juice and gin'
And as I whispered in her ear I asked her, 'How you doing?'
Where was it that I reside? and I told her Brooklyn
Atmosphere filled with romance eyes her sparkling
Just her voice and what she said, I let my poor head spin
Ragamuffin Shaggy now with a musical swing
I say, pretty little woman sexy as can be
Sweet as honey, sting like bumblebee
Shaggy say! Pretty little woman sexy as can be
Sweet as honey, sting like bumblebee
Well, in the summertime when the weather is high
And you could stretch right up and touch the sky
Now when the weather is fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
I'm gonna drive in light and see now what I can find
Now if her daddy is rich, take her out for a meal
And if her daddy is poor, just a do what you feel
Speeding down the lane even though the speed limit is twentyfive
And when the sun goes down, I'll make it with my cutie pie
Weh me say! Pretty little woman sexy as can be
Sweet as honey, sting like bumblebee
I say, pretty little woman sexy as can be
Sweet as honey, sting like bumblebee
