Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...
Back in the day I used to rock the MC Hammer pants
jump in the middle of the party bust the running man
doing the Roger Rabbit at the middle school dance
got my man next to the bleachers now that's where we stand
walk up to the girl like “now will you dance with me?”
she's like “well listen you'll never ever have a chance with me
I got a boyfriend and he's at like six foot three
250 pounds and he could beat you up in his sleep
and I'm like “well really what's that got to do with me?”
I don't see him around here so why don't you just come with me
I'll get you some fruit punch maybe some cookies
I got the new Vanilla Ice tape how can you not love me?
she's like “well first off all your pants is straight ugly
you can't dance and your personality just bug's me
so back up off me cause I really got's to let you know
that my boyfriend's right over there ohh I got to go
Would you please,
would you dance with me,
my darling would you please take a chance with me,
I see you over there with the jocks,
I see you over there with the rich boys,
I see you over there with all the pretty girls,
and I'm asking one thing...
I grew up in Inglewood a little brown boy
had straight hair and I rocked corduroy
walked down Venice way in my own way
wasn't very popular with the girls in 5th grade
they used to call me nerd
that was even if they used to call me at all
across the school hall I put my head and thought
what could I do to pursue and fought
in my own mind was a struggle of sorts
school was a game and I was off court
on the bench and the coach wouldn't let me off once
I sat in the corner of the yard like a dunce
and all I ever wanted was the girl to have lun
