Hot toddy her body like cognac
Her momma like earth tea
We birthed a couple of sacks
And as the tea steeped I creeped all in her teepee
We did it Indian style had the girls speaking in tongues
She like young, you hung

Stop it before you wake up my mom, I might (ah)
And now that I've arrived it's time that I go
I'm so cold, I'm so cold

I'm like "Woah Kemosabe"
Your body is my hobby
We freaking this ain't cheating as long as we don't tell nobody
Tell your girls you leaving, I'll meet you in the lobby




I'm so cold yeah I need that hot toddy
Hot toddy, hot toddy
