GET INTO MY CAR  

Get into my car
Oh ethnic booty
Come on
Come on
Get into my car

Get into my car
My sarong song
Picture you in a thong
Makin' my ding-a-ling
Long

Come ride in my sedan
Got your name written all over it
And your name is jungle love
Written all over my vinyl back seats

I'll show you
That a white man's spunk
Got spunk
Slam dunk
Fill you with funk

When you whisper your English
I twist it into patois kreyol
A thousand diasporic dialects I do not understand
Really don't want to understand

Bend your words like I want to bend you
To fit my ear
Your tongue tickling mine

No, I don't hear you saying
No, I'm from here
From here

Here could be planet earth
and guess what
I'm from here too
Who knew we had so much in common?

Drum a beat deep into my bones
As you baptize me
In virgin's blood
Voodoo stylin'
electrifying

When no means

yes
yes
yes
