Lyrics
[Intro]
And it's a murder weapon
Coming at you right now ladies and gentleman
The Tom Tom Club, so check it out
Check it out
[Verse 1]
What you gonna do when you get out of jail?
I'm gonna have some fun
What do you consider fun?
Fun, nasty fun
The girls can do it too, y'all
[Chorus]
I'm in heaven
With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend
There's no beginning and there is no end
Time isn't present in that dimension (Sure ain't)
He'll take my arm
When we're walking, rolling and rocking
It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man
Feels like I'm dreaming when I'm not sleeping
[Verse 2]
Check it out
All the weekend
Boyfriend was missing, I sure am missing
Having him hold me in his warm arms
We went insane when we took cocaine
Psychedelic and funkedelic, uh-huh
And everything is just jumping outta sight, all night
[Verse 3]
Check it out
Stepping in a rhythm to a Kurtis Blow
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
With a hippity-hop, and a hippity-low
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
Bohannon, Bohannon (Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon)
Who needs to think when your feet just go?
Bohannon (Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon)
James Brown, James Brown, yo!
James Brown, James Brown, yo!
He still is the godfather of soul y'all, so check it out
Feels good to me
[Chorus]
If you see him
Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend
Well, he's the genius of love
He's got a greater depth of feeling
Well, he's the genius of love
He's so deep
Freeze
Looks frozen to me
[Verse 4]
Who that, who that, now who that trying to be bad? You mother?
Who that, who that, now who that trying to be bad? Your mama?
Who that, who that, now who that trying to be bad? You mother?
Who that, who that, everybody, rock the house
[Outro]
Ok, that's it for the Tom Tom Club
Nice to be here, we gotta change back into the Talking Heads
So when I say bye, we gotta go
Ok? Ok, bye
