Shave 'Em Dry (Take 1)
All o' you cat women, you better put on the walk
'Cause I'm gonna get drunk and do my dirty talk
The monkey and the baboon, playin' in the grass
And the monkey got mad and whooped, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Talkin' 'bout shave, mama's goin' to shave 'em dry
And if you don't know, mama's goin' to learn you how!
You know an elephant, he's big and stout
He would be alright if it weren't for his snout!
Talkin' 'bout shave, mama's gonna shave him dry
And if you don't know, I'm goin' to learn you how!
I ain't rough, I ain't tough
I'm just a stomped-down rose, and I like to strut my stuff!
Talkin' 'bout shave 'em, mama's goin' to shave 'em dry
And if you don't know, mama's goin' to learn you how!
I met a man lives down the way
He had so much money until I had to stay!
I was talkin' 'bout shaving, mama's goin' to shave 'em dry
And if you don't know, mama's goin' to learn you how!
If you meet your man and he tell you a lie
Just pull out your razor and shave him dry!
Talkin' 'bout shave 'em, mama's goin' to shave him dry
'Cause I don't want no man, tell me no dirty lie!
'Cause I'm gonna get drunk and do my dirty talk
The monkey and the baboon, playin' in the grass
And the monkey got mad and whooped, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Talkin' 'bout shave, mama's goin' to shave 'em dry
And if you don't know, mama's goin' to learn you how!
You know an elephant, he's big and stout
He would be alright if it weren't for his snout!
Talkin' 'bout shave, mama's gonna shave him dry
And if you don't know, I'm goin' to learn you how!
I ain't rough, I ain't tough
I'm just a stomped-down rose, and I like to strut my stuff!
Talkin' 'bout shave 'em, mama's goin' to shave 'em dry
And if you don't know, mama's goin' to learn you how!
I met a man lives down the way
He had so much money until I had to stay!
I was talkin' 'bout shaving, mama's goin' to shave 'em dry
And if you don't know, mama's goin' to learn you how!
If you meet your man and he tell you a lie
Just pull out your razor and shave him dry!
Talkin' 'bout shave 'em, mama's goin' to shave him dry
'Cause I don't want no man, tell me no dirty lie!
