Lyrics
Dreamin', dreamin', groovin', If you know what I mean, it's movin' on the scene, alright? *Make the bumping, quit the whining, Make the moving with the dance hall king. Wadadadekodo wadadanding, Churip pip pip pip pip pipiboskin, Trinda yo, she's a friend of mine, Catch up your own, if your body's of size. Know every size and ship on stamina, To make it all look cool and bubbly wine, Rational ma boy. *repeat Atilla dis, atilla dat, Just let me go out there and I'll perform my act. *repeat Atilla dis, atilla dat, I couldn't go away because you called me a BOY! Don't shimmy chop, don't shimmy rock, Yes, Mr. Fritz, when the lyric man shops. Wadadading wadadanding, Churip pipipipipipipiboskin, No no, churipipum, ripiboskin, Wadadadadadadadadadadadadading, Me no see doh see doh, me no see doh see doh... Me no see doh see doh... Boy, I'm telling you these swankers, I don't rumple and jump on your onboard soul. *repeat Boomshakadok, pop it in the frock, Listen to this song in bed watch the clock. *repeat Crying now, why are you trying to live a lie, Just never forget you are a good friend of mine. *repeat Atilla dat, I couldn't go away because you called me a BOY!
Song Connections / Remixes
- MAKE A JAM! is an extended rearrangement of the KONAMI "walking" logo jingle, heard in Japanese PlayStation games from 1994 to late 1998, before KONAMI changed their logo from being in an Italic font to a bold one in November 1998. This is most notable in the very beginning and ending of the song.
