Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rock, rock, holly rock
Everybody wanna holly rock
Rock, rock, holly rock
Everybody wanna holly rock, say it
(Rock, rock, holly rock)
(Everybody wanna holly rock)
(Rock, rock, holly rock)
(Everybody wanna holly rock) Somebody
[Verse 2]
There's a way to say it, good God
Uh, hit me again now
[Verse 3]
Come on over, baby, dig the pop
A funky little thing called holly rock
It might be a dance, might be a song
Might have you rockin', baby, all night long
Anybody want holly rock?
Take a little bit, you just can't stop
It's bad, good God
Guaranteed to turn you out
All little brothers, gather round
I'm gonna show you what holly rock's about
[Verse 4]
(Holly rock)
(Holly rock)
(Holly rock) God
(Holly rock) Uh huh
[Verse 5]
Sheila E's my name, holly rock's my game
Funky as I wanna be
Line up a hundred, swear to God
I'll rock 'em till they just can't see
Mass appeal, a little girl's smile
I'll make you happy, baby, all the while
'Cause I'm bad, good God
And if you got a big enough stick, uh
Come on over, baby, to the holly rock
Don't you wanna learn a new trick?
[Verse 6]
(Holly rock)
(Holly rock) Lord
(Holly rock) Good God
(Holly rock) Somebody
[Verse 7]
Rock, rock, holly rock
Everybody wanna holly rock, say it
(Rock, rock, holly rock)
(Everybody wanna holly rock)
Rock, rock, holly rock
Everybody wanna holly rock, you say it
(Rock, rock, holly rock)
(Everybody wanna holly rock) Looky here
[Verse 8]
Sheila E's my name, holly rock's my game
Funky as I wanna be
Line up a hundred, swear to God
I'll rock 'em till they just can't see
'Cause I'm bad, good God
Funkier than a wicked witch
I'll pet your kitten, your little dog too
Don't you wanna be my bitch?
[Verse 9]
(Holly rock)
(Holly rock) Uh huh, Lord
(Holly rock)
(Holly rock) Somebody sing
[Verse 10]
(Rock, rock, holly rock)

(Everybody wanna holly rock) I can't hear you, say it
(Rock, rock, holly rock)

(Everybody wanna holly rock) Good Lord, sing
Rock, rock, holly rock
[Verse 11]
