Nelly Furtado

[Sports personalities]


Welcome ladies and gentlemen


This is Mark... oh-Who-gives-a-fuck from '93 TV


This is my co-host, Bob Buttafuoco


(Hey hey guys) Yeah yeah yeah


We got a crowd that's in a frenzy Bob


Let's go down to the announcers for the start of the game





[Stadium announcer]


And now.. please rise for the singing of our national anthem





[Hook: (paraphrasing "The Jeffersons")]





I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen


Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)


It took a whole lot of tah-ryin


Just to get up that hill


I said but now we're up in the BIG LEAGUES


My dirty it's our turn at bat


And just as long as we livin, it's Lunatics playa


It ain't nuttin wrong with that, huh - batter up





[St. Lunatics]


I'm the first to swing


I'ma run with that give-me-what-you-got thing, hot wings


Fuck a dub, smoke an ounce, show me love


Hit the club, me and T-Luv holla what


I put my mack down, she throw a curve ball


She owed Milli smoked that herb and some Llly-bone


She tip-top 'em, Optimo


First base, god livin like a worst race


First chase, throw yo' people and yo' kind


Second lesson, smoke that herb and clear yo' mind


It's about time, second base wisdom rhyme


Sittin strong, skipped third base and headed home


Third baseman just don't understand baby what the bong


What the fuck wrong, with this world today


With these girls today, diamonds and pearls the way


You wasn't fuckin with me, leave, for the wrap that's in my seed


Now you stays on yo knees cause we's be in the big league


Cause we's be in the big leauge





[Hook]





[Nelly]


Well you should see me now, I'm eatin Wheaties now


I'm stealin second and third and lookin home peepin greedy now


See me now, people call me speedy now


Known for runnin the quickest miles


hit and run in any town, any ground


Rules 'fore I hit it, split it, lick it and quit it


And hit it, lick it, did I say lick it, (yeah) fuck it, lic
