("This woman's gotta have it")
It's Bootsy, baby

Funky, funky Bootzilla
Watch the boy play the bass like Godzilla
Watch me pimp the mic like a gorilla
In a Snoop DeVille when I go get her
Now I'm dressed to kill when
You see me with her
How I make you feel, just a little bitter
You can take a pill to try to feel better
Or you can ask Bootsy to help you get her

Yeah, play on, playa
Cincinnati, Ohio, yay yay
Don't you wanna get down with Funk G?
(That's me)

We have a Snoop Dogg protégé in the house
But hey baby

(Well, you don't look so bad yourself)
Oh, and he's fresh, too, I like that
So, um, what do you wanna
Be when you grow up, sweetie?

Star just like Snoop Dogg)
Ah yeah, come on, you got to do it

Hello, it's Snoopy Collins

Get up off the wall
You can smell it, Snoopadelic, run go tell it
(That's funky)
They gon' yell it, we gon' sell it
Y'all gon' buy it 'cause y'all feel it
The groove just set
One more rhyme, one more crime, one more time
It's all the same, for real'a, my nilla
It's Snoop and Bootzilla, my nilla
You've been losin', I got the groovin'
That's guaranteed to keep your
Party people movin' come on

Pay attention in the music 'cause this is it
Salute to get with it so
