[INTRO:]
Yo! If you can't dance
it's cool to get up now
Usually
ya'll stand off on the side
You know you're a little embarrassed or whatever
But this one of those joints for everybody
So get on up but keep it simple
[CHORUS]
If you can't dance then this is your jam
baby
left to right all night
Slide that's all you gotta do... You can't dance then this is your jam
baby
Left to right all night
slide
that's all you gotta do
Now we all know the boy at the club
all liquored up
Boy with the bub tryin' to pick 'em up
wack dancing
'Wooking pa nub'
shirt too bright
pants too tight
Boy settle down
Now I ain't just messing with you
I got better things to do
I'm trying to help
I got a lesson for you
I know you do the best you could do
Wanna get next to Boo
then the less you do the better
Cause women equate dance with ¤¤¤
They gon' see you & be like
'Next'!
But you gon' be like
'hold up Ma' ('Next!')
But she gon' be like
uh huh
('Next!')
Now looka-here
rule #1
know ya name
if it ain't Usher
Justin or Hammer
then we can touch ya
Rule #2
never do a dance you can't do
why stupid
Cause you can't do it
[CHORUS]
So I'm up in my spot in Miami the other night
right
& this Dude's out on the floor OD-ing
just way 'over-dancingSo his Mommy wanna holla at me
She thought my name was Billy
I told her it was Willie
She said she watch my TV show & I was very silly
Told her I was from Philly she looked at me said
'Really?& judging from her t-shirt
I could tell that she was chilly
So I gave her my sweater
she said her name was Etta
She said she come from Cuba and she just had bought a Jetta
She said she was glad I met her
let's go somewhere together
She said she'd ride in my car cause she knew my car was better
The conversation cookin'
attention getting' tookinMy Spidey senses tinglin'
I felt somebody lookinNow who this brotha lookin'
& now he runnin'
bookinI'm mad I'm like a fisherman
I almost had my hook in
I figured I should get up & quickly clear my head up
Cause Etta got a man & I'm feelin' kinda set-up
Now Dude was really fed up & yo
he wouldn't let up
Homey if I hit you
you might never ever get up
Now he was not a dancer
plus he wasn't handsome
Comin' like Mel Gibson
like I had his girl for ransom
Yo
Pedro wanna go out side
yo amigo
tranquillo... slide
[CHORUS]
Now rule #3 is easy
please remember that you ain't on "Beat Street"
Sweet feet
you ain't tryin' to win no TV
another dude did a move
No need to out do it
Rule #4
out on the floor
don't be doing moves that don't nobody do no more
Draw too much attention to be adventurous out on the floor
There's a reason that don't nobody do 'em no more
you feel me?
This may be hilarious
but Rule #5 is serious
it's a shame that we have
to discuss
That there's no lip biting or pelvic thrusts
I mean you think that move will put the sting on her
you too close
tryin' to put a ring on her?
You don't know that girl
don't cling on her & don't put your thing on
her...cool?!
[CHORUS]
