Whootin-gleeten-gloutin-gloevin.
Give it to me baby, uh-hu, uh-hu... (BIS)
And all the girlies say
I'm pretty fly for a white guy.
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis.

You know it's kind of hard
just to get along today,
our subject isn't cool
but he thinks it anyway.
He may not have a clue
and he may not have style,
but everything he lacks,
well, he makes up in denial.

So don't debate, play it straight,
you know he really doesn't get it anyway.
Gonna play the field, keep it real,
for you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate,
at least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs wannabees, so (hey, hey!),
do that brand new thing.

Give it to me baby, uh-hu, uh-hu... (BIS)
And all the girlies say
I'm pretty fly for a white guy.

He needs some cool tunes,
not just any will suffice,
but they didn't have Ice Cube,
so he bought Vanilla Ice.
Now cruising in his pinto,
he sees homies as he pass,
but if he looks twice
they're gonna kick his lily a__.

So don't debate, play it straight,
you know he really doesn't get it anyway.
Gonna play the field, keep it real,
for you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate,
at least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs wannabees, so (hey, hey!),
do that brand new thing.

Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah,
he's gettin' ink done,
he asked for a 13 but they drew a 31.
Friends say he's trying too hard
and he's not quite hip,
but in his own mind
he's the, he's the dopest trip.

Give it to me baby, uh-hu, uh-hu... (BIS)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis.

So don't debate, play it straight,
you know he really doesn't get it anyway.
Gonna play the field, keep it real,
for you no way, for you no way.
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate,
at least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
The world needs wannabees, so (hey, hey!),
do that brand new thing.
