Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cheers to Paris, the vibes, the French Quarter
French kisses!
Cheers to the last night
French fries!
And partying and getting fucked up!
[Verse 2]
Cheers to us not motherfucking having a hangover
Cheers to us dancing our asses off
Having a good motherfucking time
To that food menu being good and we gonna order some food
Cheers to that Latin courtyard
That was the greatest
That was fun!
Cheers to barhopping today and enjoying the motherfucking city
Cheers to getting y'all beads
[Verse 3]
Yes!
I got one bead!
Me too!
I got three!
They liked yo' titties!
I like 'em, too
[Verse 4]
Janelle!
Original!
When you see me
Ribbit
[Verse 5]
Some come call me DNT, some call me Nancy
And I ah Sista Nancy with the lyrics my name
Me, I'm the only woman DJ with degree
Only woman DJ with degree
Straight from the priesthood, Jamaica
Island out to sea
Born and grow inna Kingston City
