Bust a Move

This here's a jam for all the fellas
Trying 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 showing 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 they're serving and you're stone cold munching
Music comes on and you start to dance
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 the groove
So come on fatso and just bust a move

Just bust a move

You're on a mission and you're wishing
Someone could cure your lonely condition

Looking 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
Your movie's showing, so you're going
Couldn't care less about the vibe you're blowing
It'll get dark just to start the show

Then you spot a fine woman sitting 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

Just bust a move

In the city, ladies look pretty

And 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 faking, goodness sake
And 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
Looking for a man makes them opportunistic

They're lying on the beach perpetrating a tan
So a brother with money can be their man
So on the beach you're strolling, real high rolling
Everything you have is yours and not stolen
A girl runs up with something to prove

Yo, just don't stand there, bust a move

Just bust a move

Break it down for me, fellas
Just bust a move

Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
In five days from now he's gonna marry
He's hoping you can make it there if you can
'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man

You say "Neato", check your libido
And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
Bride walks down just to start the wedding

There's one more girl you won't be getting

You start thinking and then you start blinking
The bridesmaid looks and thinks that you're winking
She thinks you're kind of cute so she winks back
And now you're feeling really firm 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumping, bass is pumping
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumping
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do, just bust a move

Just bust a move
