Lyrics
Pickup Rumba
(c)2004 Jae Baeli
In a bar they call ?the Copa?,
I saw you circle like Europa
And you were mooning with your eyes,
Outshining all the guys
By giving them a little Rope-a
Are they green or are they yellow?
Either way, they both say ?hello?
And as far as they can see,
They?ll be coming home with me
?Cause I know you don?t want a fellow.
(La la la la la la laa la. . . :||)
Bridge
I was enamoured by your smile,
And we talked a little while
Pretty soon you bought me beer,
Said, ?Let?s get out of here.
?Because you need to be defiled.?
(La la. . .)
At my apartment, gave you stop signs,
No first-date-sex was one of my lines.
Tried slap and tickle on for size,
Waited for the sun to rise
Then did the Nasty four times.
(la la la)
