Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Back off boogaloo
What you think I'm gonna do?
I got a flash right from the start
[Verse 2]
Wake up, meathead
Don't pretend that you were dead
Get yourself up off the cart
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty
Everything you try to do
You know, it sure sounds wasted
[Verse 3]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
[Verse 4]
You think you're a groove
Standing there in your wallpaper shoes
And those socks that match your eyes
[Verse 5]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
[Verse 6]
Get yourself together now
And give me something tasty
Everything you try to do
You know, it sure sounds wasted
[Verse 7]
Back off boogaloo
What you think I'm gonna do?
I got a flash right from the start
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
[Verse 8]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
[Verse 9]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
[Verse 10]
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
Back off boogaloo
I said, back off boogaloo
Come on, back off boogaloo
