Lyrics for Making Flippy Floppy - Live
Wait a minute Everybody, get in line Nothing can come between us Nothing gets you down Nothing strikes your fancy Nothing turns you on You don't have to wait for more instructions No one makes a monkey out of me We lie on our backs, feet in the air Rest and relaxation, rocket to my brain Snap into position Bounce 'til you ache Step out of line And you end up in jail Doctor, doctor We have nothing in our pockets We continue But we have nothing left to offer Faces pressed against the window Hey, they're just my friends Check this out, don't be so slick Break our backs, it goes like this We are born without eyesight We are born without sin And our mama protects us From the cold and the rain We're in no hurry Sugar and spice We sing in the darkness And we open our eyes (open up) I can't believe it And people are strange Our president's crazy Did you hear what he said? Business and pleasure Lie right to your face Divide it in sections And then give it away There are no big secrets Don't believe what you read Got great big bodies Got great big heads Run-a-run-a-run it all together Check it out, still don't make no sense Making flippy floppy, tryin' to do my best Lock the door, we kill the beast Kill it!
