Story Behind The Song

Condoms are one tool in the global war against HIV/AIDS but how can you write a song about condoms when nothing rhymes with it. The answer in this song was to use a whole lot of slang terms and try to wrap them up in a catchy ditty.

Song Description

A humorous call to arms in the global war on HIV/AIDS.

Lyrics

Mr rubber, stealin? skin

Tell you now, you need to know, if it not on, just say no, no
If it not on, it's not in, where the hell, have you been?
Hear no evil, see no evil, never ever say it
Take your cake, eat it too, but you never can replay it
Need a "raincoat", it's no joke, a "Fear-Not", what they got
A "scumbag", a "cum bag", keep ?em in your bum bag

It don't matter, if you're black or white
It don't matter, if it's day or night
It don't matter, if it's only one time
Every time is a time that you play with your life

"French letter", don't regret her, grab a "cheater", when you meet her
"Diving Suit", ain't she cute, keep a "rubber" with your loot, loot
In your wallet, in your purse, you don't wanna catch a curse
You don't wanna here them say, you got HIV today, HIV?
"Johnny" Rotten, gone not forgotten, before you rock, "close combat sock"
"Rubber", "cap", "baby baggie", you don't wanna be a daddy

It don't matter if you're rich or poor
I'm telling you now, you can never be sure
Naughty or nice, you be rolling the dice
So be sure, just before, think twice
Live wise

Now hear this:

So before you go and do it, take a rubber, see you through it
Take a couple, take the box, you don't want to catch the pox
Tell you now, tell you true, just one thing you gotta do
Take a rubber, put it on, before negative is gone
You don't want it, you don't need it, hoping that you will believe it
Do it now, but do it right, just make sure, you're watertight

Well I know this may be brief, but before you take relief

Hear me now:

It don't matter, if you're black or white
It don't matter, if it's day or night
It don't matter, if it's only one time
Every time is a time that you play with your life
It don't matter if you're rich or poor
I am telling you now, you can never be sure
Naughty or nice, you be rolling the dice
So be sure, just before, think twice
Live wise
