[Intro]
Girls
All I really want is (Girls)
And in the morning it's (Girls)
'Cause in the evening it's (Girls)
[Verse 1]
I like the way that they walk
And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can always make 'em smile
From White Castle to the Nile
[Verse 2]
Back in the day
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
There was this girl around the way
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
She liked my home-piece MCA
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
He said he would not give her play
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I asked him, "Please?" He said, "You may"
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
Her pants were tight, and that's okay
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
If she would dance, I would DJ
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
We took a walk down to the bay
[Verse 3]
I hope she'll say
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
"Hey, me and you should hit the hay"
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I asked her out, she said, "No way"
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I should've probably guessed her gay
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
So I broke north with no delay
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I heard she moved real far away
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
That was two years ago this May
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I seen her just the other day
Jockin' Mike D to my dismay
[Outro]
(Girls) To do the dishes, (Girls) to clean up my room
(Girls) To do the laundry, (Girls) and in the bathroom
(Girls) That's all I really want is girls
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
Two at a time, I want girls
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
With new-wave hairdos, I want girls
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
I ought to whip out my– girls, girls, girls, girls, girls
(Bom, bom, bom-bom, bom-bom, bom, bom, bom-bom)
Yeah
