[Intro: Fergie, apl.de.ap, Both]

Let's get retarded in here

And the bass keeps runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin'

And runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin'

And runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin'

And runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin' and

[Verse 1: will.i.am, will.i.am & apl.de.ap, will.i.am & Fergie]

In this context, there's no disrespect

So when I bust my rhyme, you break yo necks

We got five minutes for us to disconnect

From all intellect and let the rhythm effect

Obstacles are inefficient, follow your intuition

Free your inner soul and break away from tradition

'Cause when we be out, girlies pull they weave out

You wouldn't believe how we wow shit out

Burn it 'til it's burned out, turn it 'til it's turned out

Act up from north, west, east, south

[Pre-Chorus: All, will.i.am]

Everybody (Yeah), everybody (Yeah)

Just get into it (Yeah), get stupid (Come on)

Get retarded (Come on), get retarded (Yeah)

Get retarded

[Chorus: will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Fergie]

Let's get retarded (Hah)

Let's get retarded in here

Let's get retarded (Hah)

Let's get retarded in here

Let's get retarded (Hah)

Let's get retarded in here

Let's get retarded (Hah)

Let's get retarded in here, yeah

[Verse 2: Taboo, Taboo & Fergie]

Lose control of body and soul

Don't move too fast, people, just take it slow

Don't get ahead, just jump into it

Y'all hear about it, the Peas will do it

Get started, get stupid

Don't worry about it, people, we'll walk you through it

Step by step like an infant new kid

Inch by inch with the new solution

Transmit hits with no delusion

The feeling's irresistible and that's how we movin'

[Pre-Chorus: All, will.i.am]

(Yo) Everybody (Yeah), everybody (Yeah)

Just get into it (Yeah) and get stupid (Come on)

Get retarded (Come on), get retarded (Yeah)

Get retarded

[Chorus: will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Fergie]

(And the bass keeps runnin', runnin' and runnin', runnin')

C'mon y'all, let's get coo-koo, uh-huh, let's get coo-koo in here

Wild out, get coo-koo, uh-huh, let's get coo-koo in here

Wild out, get coo-koo, uh-huh, let's get coo-koo in here (Oh, oh, oh)

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

[Verse 3: apl.de.ap, apl.de.ap & Fergie]

Let's get ill, that's the deal

At the gate and we'll bring the thugged out drill

(Just) Lose your mind, this is the time

Y'all can't stand still, trust and bang your spine

(Just) Bob your head like epilepsy

Up inside the club or in your Bentley

Get messy, loud and sick

You mind pass normal on another head trip

(So) Come them now, do not correct it

Let's get ign'ant, let's get hectic

[Pre-Chorus: All, will.i.am]

Everybody (Yeah), everybody (Yeah)

Just get into it (Yeah), get stupid (Come on)

Get retarded (Come on), get retarded (Yeah)

Get retarded

[Chorus: will.i.am, apl.de.ap & Fergie]
