Lyrics

Come whether you whine or grind

I say whether you whine or grind

Can you shake it up right on time

I say shake it up right on time

Well, the first thing she ask is you havea ya brush

You havea ya brush, you can avoid the rush

Come whether you whine or grind

I say whether you whine or grind

Then you shake it up right on time

I say shake it up right on time

She want a ruff ruff rider

He want a cool cool stroker

Come whether you whine or grind

I say whether you whine or grind

Can ya shake it up right on time

I say shake it up right on time

Whoa, bwoy come watch i-man
