Lyrics

I want you to be my te-ni-nee-ni-nu
I want you to be my te-ni-nee-ni-nu
Tell me the truth
Ain't you my te-ni-nee-ni-nu?
Now, will you love me?
Will you hug me?
Will you squeeze me?
Come on, don't tease me
Tell me the truth
Ain't you my te-ni-nee-ni-nu?
Come on, baby, work yo' shoulder
Philly dog, boog-a-loo, you got the flow
Yeah, everybody's watchin' you
You lookin' good, baby, ain't that's the truth?
Now when you through
Come be my te-ni-nee-ni-nu
