[Intro: Young MC]

Bust it


[Verse 1: Young MC]

This here's a jam for all the fellas

Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us

Get shot down 'cause you're overzealous

Play hard to get, females get jealous

Okay smarty, go to a party

Girls are scantily clad and showin' body

A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her

But you're standing on the wall like you was Poindexter

Next day's function, high class luncheon

Food is served and you're stone-cold munchin'

Music comes on, people start to dance

But then you ate so much, you nearly split your pants

A girl starts walking, guys start gawking

Sits down next to you and starts talking

Says she wants to dance 'cause she likes to groove

So come on, fatso, and just bust a move

[Bridge: Crystal Blake & Young MC]

Ah, ha, yeah, ha

Ah, ha, yeah, ha (Just bust a move)

Aha, yeah, aha, yeah

Ah, ha, yeah, ha, ha


[Verse 2: Young MC]

You're on a mission and you're wishin'

Someone could cure your lonely condition

Lookin' for love in all the wrong places

No fine girls, just ugly faces

From frustration, first inclination

Is to become a monk and leave the situation

But every dark tunnel has a light of hope

So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope

New movie's showin', so you're goin'

Couldn't care less about the five you're blowin'

Theater gets dark just to start the show

Then ya spot a fine woman sittin' in your row

She's dressed in yellow, she says, "Hello

Come sit next to me, you fine fellow"

You run over there without a second to lose

And what comes next? Hey, bust a move

[Chorus: Crystal Blake & Young MC]

You want it, you got it

You want it, baby, you got it (Just bust a move)

You want it, you got it

You want it, baby, you got it


[Verse 3: Young MC]

In the city, ladies look pretty

Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty

Tell a funny joke just to get some play

Then you try to make a move and she says, "No way"

Girls are fakin', goodness sakin'

They want a man who brings home the bacon

Got no money and you got no car

Then you got no woman and there you are

Some girls are sadistic, materialistic

Lookin' for a man makes them opportunistic

They're lyin' on the beach perpetrating a tan

So that a brother with money can be their man

So on the beach you're strollin', real high rollin'

Everything you have is yours and not stolen

A girl runs up with somethin' to prove

So don't just stand there, bust a move

[Chorus: Crystal Blake & Young MC]

You want it, you got it, uh

You want it, baby, you got it (Just bust a move), ah

You want it, uh, you got it, ah

You want it, baby, you got it, yeah


[Post-Chours: Young MC]

Break it down for me fellas


[Interlude: Crystal Blake]

Ha-ah, hey, yeah, hey

Ooh, uh, hey, yeah

Ooh, uh, hey, yeah

Hey, uh, uh, uh


[Verse 4: Young MC]

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry

In five days from now, he's gonna marry

He's hopin' you can make it there if you can

'Cause in the ceremony, you'll be the best man

You say, "neat-o", check your libido

And roll to the church in your new tuxedo

The bride walks down just to start the wedding

And there's one more girl you won't be getting

So you start thinkin', then you start blinking

A bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking

She thinks you're kinda cute, so she winks back

And now you're feelin' really firm 'cause the girl is stacked

Reception's jumpin', bass is pumpin'

Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin'

Says she wanna dance to a different groove

Now you know what to do, G, bust a move

[Chorus: Crystal Blake & Young MC]

You want it, you got it, ah

You want it, baby, you got it (Just bust a move), ah

You want it, uh, you got it, ah

You want it, baby, you got it (Move it, boy)

Ah, ha, ha, hey

Ah, ha, yeah, ha

Aha, yeah, aha, yeah

Ah, ha, hey, yeah
