He's the man without a plan
To shake it up and set you down again
A Bo Diddely walk no more messing round the block
17 watts is all of what he's got
[Chorus]
Take me Gout and mess me 'Eround
Don't want Gstyle without a Esound.
It ain't Dclean but dig the Gscene
And BI heard the message now the Amessage is mine.
[Verse]
I heard the man he brought the news
He came in loud and out of tune
Now asleep like a bus conductor dribble like a dog.
Double timing scratch to the sound I'm thinking of
[Chorus]
Take me Gout and mess me 'Eround
Don't want Gstyle without a Esound.
It ain't Dclean but dig the Gscene
And BI heard the message now the Amessage is mine.
BI heard the message,  Acome on Timmy!
