Bust a Move

Bust it!

This here's a tale for all the fellas
Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us
You got down 'cause you're overzealous
Play hard to get and females get jealous

Okay, sparty, 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 pouring nectar

Next day's function, high class luncheon
Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
The music comes on, people start to dance
But you ate so much you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walking, guys start gawking
Sits down next to you and start talking
She says she wants to dance 'cause she likes to groove
So come on, fatso, and just bust a move

Just bust a move!

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 move
New movie's showin' so you're going

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

Theater gets dark just to start the show
And 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
Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke just to get some play
And then you make a funny 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 cars
And you got no woman, and there you are
Some girls are sadistic, much too realistic
Lookin' for a man, make 'em opportunistic
They're lying on the beach, perpetrating a tan
So that 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
So don't just stand there, bust a move

Just bust a move!

Break it down for me, fellas

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
The bride walks down just to start the wedding
And there's one more girl you won't be getting

So you start thinking, then you start blinking
A barmaid looks and thinks that you're winking
She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
And now you're feeling really fine 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumping, bass is pumping
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumping

She says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do, G, bust a move

Just bust a move!

Move it, boy!
