Lyrics

Ooo, little darlin'
Why'd you have to lose that beat?
And little daddy
Your beat is what made it sweet
Your shimmy don't shine like it used to do
Your shuffle ball changed
Now it's got me blue
Your broken wings have lost their flap
Your zip ain't got no zap
Click clack daddy
Sore efforts sure got to go
Don't call him daddy
'Fore you shuffle balled the buffalo
I need a kid who's got that thang
You got no beat and you got no swang
You used to make my trenches hot
But now you miss the spot
Oh, oh, oh, ow!
I got no time for your time step
I need a little tap, that'll really help
When you did that paddle and roll
Ooo, little daddy you made me lose control
Cramp roll
Slide
Pullback
Blide
Flap me, tap me
Flap me, tap me
Flap me, tap me
Oo, little daddy!
Daddy listen
Somethin's missin'!
You got that lost beat swing, yeah
You got that lost beat swing, yeah!
