The Lyrics:
(Sung)
I`m gonna wear you to the ball tonight,Put on your best dress tonight.
(Rapped)
Did you hear what the man said baby?Well,
Be your best `cause this gonna be a musical test,
So come to the school let me take up the musical rule,
Keep the soul,Brothers!Feel the soul,Sisters!
Come to i,And maybe you can make it if you try?
So,Be wise and be changing,Put on your best,Because i
got you a musical game.Rap it,Baby,I scrub it,Yeah!
`Cause i`m tough and on top,And that ain`t no bluff,
Maybe it`s because i got the musical stuff.
(sung)
I`m gonna make you the talk of the town,No use wearin` a frown.
Those other guys may put you down,I`m going to let you wear my crown,
Though those other guys may put you down,You wear my crown.
(Rapped)
Chick a bow,Chick a bow,Chick a bow,Chick a bow wow,Wow!Give
me soul brothers and give me soul sisters.Don`t beg for no mercy.
Move it up,Break it up,It`s in bottle,It`s
good.She`s got it. She`s got it,She`s got it,She`s got it.
(Sung)
Though those other guys may put you down,I`m going to let you wear my crown.
(Rapped)
Are we gonna have a musical ball!So get on the ball,
And don`t stall i`ll make you baby.It`s in the bottle it`s good!
(Sung)
I`m gonna wear you to the ball tonight,Put on your best dress tonight.
(Rapped)
Huh,That`s for sure!They bring you a musical disk
from the flick of my wrist,Baby.It`s in the bottle,She`s got it!
She`s got it,She`s got it,She`s got it,Wow!
Chick a bow,Chick a bow,Chick a bow wow wow,Come on!
(Sung)
I`m going to wear you to the ball tonight,,Put on your best dress tonight,
I`m going to make you the talk of the town,No use wearin` a frown.
