From you're super cool and you're super fresh
Anyone will accept you as a special guest
Now, he or she will do that as a special request
If you live inna the country, you run go to the river
You live inna the town, just turn on the pipe, and get fi your shower
If you've got an AC you can bathe regular
A man nuh want a woman if she 'fraid of water
A woman nuh want a man if him 'fraid of water

Tell them how them a go hold them fresh
Put the rag against the soap, and rub it up next
Flash it on back and over your chest
