Lyrics and translation
Original
Woo!
Photo detective this week.
Photo detective strong.
Taking a stroll down love street.
Strolling, is that so wrong? Can I get my colors blended?
Bump de bump do ba dey bump de hump do wop. Bump de bump do ba dey, oh no.
Bump de hump do ba dey bump de bump do wop.
Bump de hump do ba dey bump bump. Woo! It must have been a hundred miles or any of a hundred styles.
It's not about the smile you wear, but the way we make out.
When I was an odd loner, nothing but a true beachcomber. Anybody seen the sky? I'm, I'm wide awake now.
Working the beat as we speak.
Working the hairdo long.
Believing the havoc we reap.
Believing, is that so wrong? Can I get my colors blended?
Bump de bump do ba dey bump de hump do wop. Bump de bump do ba dey.
Bump de hump do ba dey bump de bump do wop.
Bump de hump do ba dey bump bump. Come on! It must have been a hundred miles or any of a hundred styles.
It's not about the smile you wear, but the way we make out.
When I was an odd loner, nothing but a true beachcomber. Anybody seen the sky? I'm, I'm wide awake now.
Bump de bump do ba dey bump de hump do wop.
Bump de bump do ba dey, oh no.
Bump de hump do ba dey bump de bump do wop.
Bump de hump do ba dey bump bump.
Listen to what I said. Try to get it through your head.
A little bit of circumstance and a chance to make out.
Living in a citadel. It's hard enough to be yourself.
Waiting for the bell to toll and I'm wide awake now.
It must have been a hundred miles or any of a hundred styles. It's not about the smile you wear, but the way we make out.
When I was an odd loner, nothing but a true beachcomber. Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now
