[Verse 36]
Uh-my name is Gwen, uh-but they call me Blondie
I'm better known as the one and only
I'm five foot two, built so fine
Thirty-six, twenty-six, thirty-six dime
[Verse 37]
I'm better known as freaky ten
A Sequence freak with all the fans
When I clap my hands and I stomp my feet
I jam to the sound of the Sequence beat
[Verse 38]
A-wave your hands in the air
A-wave 'em like you just don't care
Like a-Ginger Rogers and-a Fred Astaire
My main man a-Yogi Bear
[Verse 39]
I said a-hit-ma-jazz, and a-raz-ma-jazz
And I jam to the disco beat
And if you could move your body like you move your hands
Then I'm sure you can move your feet
[Verse 40]
'Cause I'm supersonic, I'm a 3X tonic
When I'm not down, I'm up
A-when I get real hungry, I run to the store
And get my Reese's cup
[Verse 41]
I watch TV on my own
You gotta Yabba-Dabba-Doo, a-Fred a-Flintstone
I'm sweeter than candy, I'm sweeter than honey
That's why they call my Blondie
[Verse 42]
I'm super cool and I'm super fine
And I'm one of a kind to shock your mind
And you can ring my bell all through the night
Uh, you could rock my body till the early light
[Verse 43]
Don't ring my bell, I'm sayin' please
If you cannot fulfill my needs
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
But they call my name from coast to coast
[Verse 44]
From the coast of California to the shore of Maine
Everybody loves the way I play my game
Say I got more rhymes in the back of my mind
Than Benny D got lovers
[Verse 45]
I say I got style and I got class
I don't talk my stuff to fast
See, I'm cold as ice, I'm twice as nice
I get more sex than a cat chase mice
[Verse 46]
Blondie, hey that's me
I'm rapping in the key of R-A-P
I said bye-bye, baby, boogie, a boogie, baby
Boogie baby, boogie baby, goodbye
[Verse 47]
I said a-bye-bye, baby, boogie, a
Boogie, baby, boogie baby, boogie baby, goodbye
And you heard the raps of Blondie
And it was all the way live
I said Blondie, hey, that's me
I'm rapping in the key of R-A-P
[Verse 48]
Said a-ring-ding-dong
Ring a ding-ding-ding-dong
Ring-ding-dong
Ring a ding-ding-ding-dong
[Verse 49]
A-they call me Cheryl and I'll tell you why
'Cause I got such sexy bedroom eyes
And I pop 'em out and you look surprised
I got you and you're hypnotized
[Verse 50]
My love is strong if you can stand
To be within my sexy trance
But don't let this tell you about me
I'm a jealous lady and that you'll see
[Verse 51]
If I don't get the things that I mention
That's when I start crying for attention (Attention)
That's what I say
And things just always go my way
[Verse 52]
Well I talk a lot but I'm really shy
My loving ways just get me by
I write the baddest sounds around
I'm guaranteed to throw down
[Verse 53]
The only difference between you and me
And that is that I'm sexy
I'm an angel possessed with some devilish eyes
With the curvy hips to make your nature rise
[Verse 54]
Ring-ding-dong
Ring a ding-ding-ding-dong
Ring-ding-dong
Ring a ding-ding-ding-dong
[Verse 55]
I said Angie B is a-what they say
I got chocolate hips and a Milky Way
And I feel like a millionaire in space
Flyin' on a go-cart with the silver lace
[Verse 56]
Everybody calls me never wrong
'Cause I'm a best style freak with a funky song
Do you hear me talkin'? Do you hear me singin'?
On the microphone, a-won't ya' sing along
(You go do it, you go do it, you go do it, do it, do it)
[Verse 57]
I got two great partners standin' by me
That's guaranteed to jam to the beat
One is Blondie and she's right on time
She calls herself Miss Super Fine
[Verse 58]
I said Cheryl the Pearl is the one with the eyes
She's guaranteed to hypnotize
Said Angie B, hey, that's me
I can rock you so dangerously
(You go do it, you go do it, you go do it, do it, do it)
[Verse 59]
At a quarter to six you got in a fix
And you called on Angie B
And you look surprised as I arrive
To see me dressed to a tee
(You go do it, you go do it, you go do it, do it, do it)
[Verse 60]
Yodle-lay-de-hoo
Yodle-lay-de-hoo
Cha-cha-cha (Ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 61]
Yodle-lay-de-hoo
Yodle-lay-de-hoo
Cha-cha-cha (Ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 62]
A-don't you give up
A-keep going, a-keep going, a-keep going-ah
[Verse 63]
A-don't you give up
A-keep going, a-keep going, a-keep going
[Verse 64]
I said get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Sit back down
[Verse 65]
You right on up, we're gonna funk you right on up
Funk you right on up, we're gonna funk you right on up
[Verse 66]
I said get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Funk you right on up, we're gonna funk you right on up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
[Verse 67]
Funk you right on up, we're gonna funk you right on up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Sit back down
Funk you right on up, we're gonna funk you right on up
