This here's a tale for all the fellas Tryin' to do what those ladies tell us Get shot down 'cause you're over zealous Play hard to get, females get jealous
Okay smartie, go to a party Girls are scantily clad and showin' body A chick walks by, you wish you could sex her But you're standin' on the wall like you was Poindexter
Next day's function, high class luncheon Food is served, and you're stone cold munchin' Music comes on, people start to dance But then you ate so much, you nearly split your pants
A girl starts walkin', guys start gawkin' Sits down next to you and starts talkin' Said she wanna dance 'cause she likes the groove So come on, fatso, and just bust a move
Uh, hey, ya, uh, uh, hey, ya Just bust a move Uh, hey, uh, ya, uh, hey, ya, uh, uh
You're on a mission and you're wishin' Someone could cure your lonely condition Lookin' for love in all the wrong places No fine girls, just ugly faces
From frustration, first inclination Is to become a monk and leave the situation But every dark tunnel has a light of hope So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
Your movie's showin', so you're goin' Could care less about the five you're blowin' Theater gets dark just to start the show And then you spot a fine woman sittin' in your row
She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello Come sit next to me, you fine fellow" You run over there without a second to lose And what comes next, hey bust a move
If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it Just bust a move If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it
In the city, ladies look pretty Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty Tell a funny joke just to get some play Then you try to make a move and she says, "no way"
Girls are fakin', goodness sakin' They want a man who brings home the bacon Got no money, and you got no car Then you got no woman, and there you are
Some girls are sadistic, materialistic Looking for a man makes them opportunistic They're lyin' on the beach perpetratin' a tan So that a brother with the money can be their man
So on the beach you're strollin', real high rollin' Everything you have is yours and not stolen A girl runs up with somethin' to prove So don't just stand there, bust a move
If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it Just bust a move If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it
Break it down for me, fellas Huh, hey, ya, uh, huh, ooh, hey, ya Uh, uh, hey, ya, ee, uh, uh, uh, ya
Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry In five days from now he's gonna marry He's hopin' you can make it there if you can 'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
You say "neato," check your libido And roll to the church in your new tuxedo The bride walks down just to start the wedding And there's one more girl you won't be getting
So you start thinkin', then you start blinkin' A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin' She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back And then you're feelin' really fine 'cause the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin' Look at the girl, and your heart starts thumpin' Says she wants to dance to a different groove Now you know what to do, G, bust a move
You want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it Just bust a move If you want it, you got it If you want it, baby, you got it
