[Intro: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu]

Did you order the chips?

No, I ordered the scallops

No chips?

No chips, just scallop burgers

How long did she say?

Ten minutes or so

Ten minutes?

Ooh, that might be them

Aye? Ten minutes?

Aw yeah

(Bring it up now)

Okay, come on

(Definitely)

This one goes out to Fish Piss Mouth and Flappy Patty (Does he speak when he spit?)

(Not to forget Burger Mouth)

Is he filleted?

(That's right, talk to him)

Okay then


[Verse 1: Ozi Batla]

Fatty cells expand when we take the mic in hand

Check out the land on which we dwell with a rhyme unplanned

Now central coasting, hot like central heating

MC's minds meeting like the lake meets the sea at Swansea

On solid rock, yes, you know we don't stop

'Til we got everyone of you poppin' like bottle tops

Like a stubby on the verandah, nothing we planned

Just spontaneous banter when we take the chance to

Entice you to do this nice through whatever vice you choose

I think we prove that you got nothing to lose by following us

In my tongue I trust to get done what we must

Swirls of red dust behind me

So hard to find it, so why try?

Getting high, wide open skies and countryside

Just gimme some beats and rhymes and room to thrive and I swear that I'll always come live and direct

Inspect the jam from every angle that you can

And you might interpret the master plan

But if you don't, I'll still be rockin' the boat

Chillin' with Traksewt and Toe Fu, lakeside

To promote this new view

[Bridge: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu]

Oh woah, did you see that?

(Woah)

Is that right?

Is anybody there?

Kenny, did you just see that?

(Kenny?)

It's a flying scallop, over the lake

(Woah)

[Chorus: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu, Toe-Fu]

Like a three dollar forty bag of hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do what we do, we give heads the bops

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do what we do, we give heads the bops

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do what we do (Do what we do), we give heads the bops (Bops)


[Verse 2: Toe-Fu]

Torches reflect in oily water, scorching sun

Ordinary laws, bored people run off the day, couldn't stay

So they packed up, stacked up equipment and set out

The way to play at Lake Placid, snake acid, wreak havoc

Groove grabbing, thought skanking, travelled on trains

Buses, pains, main lines, trusted train departing

We rushed it, discussed it, with lack of preparation

Separation from city scenes, littered streets, traversed beats

Immersed in the heat from The Batla's technique

Wants and needs, verbal speed darkness feeds

And bites and beats through the night that are sliced with a knife

Rife with the rhymes that run through my life

With stacks and piles of pancakes and pears

For goodness sake, I'm aware when we wake

Opportunities we take to break and break

And frantically tickle me; it's rushing all over me (Ooh)

[Bridge: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu]

Hey, they haven't forgotten my order?

Nah, I think they just dropped it on the floor

Oh, I'm not eating that (Nup)

More likely to eat a fuckin' flying scallop (Oh shit)


[Chorus: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu]

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do as we do, we give heads the bops

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do what we do, we give heads the bops

[Verse 3: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu]

Clip art cobras descending on Wyee Station

Not of the rave persuasion, we are our own rave

Trakswet, Toe-Fu and I disembark in strange days

Swarms of Christmas beetles you have to get through or shoo away

Quick select for you what to do and chose or choose to fly to flew to coastal aboads for tunes that knew the wind that blew

No seeds be sewn in soil or be blown in breezes

Reflective foil sonic releases and eases me

Essential, like sunscreen, SPF 15

Slip slop slap on this track when you wanna feel like summer, laid back

Song gets stronger, MCs go longer

When folks in live shows nod along to their flows


[Bridge: Toe-Fu]

Balcony is excellent

Thanks, thanks, very much

I'm deeply touched

[Chorus: Ozi Batla & Toe-Fu, Ozi Batla, Toe-Fu]

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do as we do, we give heads the bops

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh hip hop

From your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do as we do, we give heads the bops

Like a three dollar forty bag of fresh (Hip-hop)

Fom your local fish and chip shop

Ah, scallops

With dollops of flavour on top

When we do a-do, we give heads the bops (The bops) bops, bops

Give heads the bops, give heads the bops (Bops)

Give heads the bops


[Outro]

(Number thirty four, your scallops are ready)
