[Intro: The Beatmasters]
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 1: Betty Boo]
I can't dance to that rhythm that you be playing
That style is old, sold out and dated, dated back
And yo, what's up? We used to shake it up
How dare you ever care to play that trash
You best prepare to go away
No more tit-for-tat, Jack
'Cause I can't dance to that
[Chorus: The Beatmasters]
I can't dance to that music you're playin'
Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune
I can't dance to that music you're playin'
You better get yourself together
You'd better do it soon
[Verse 2: Betty Boo]
I need a rhythm to be hype and thumping
I want it hot like it's coming from an oven
I wanna be dancing and moving
Betty Boo on the mic and doing the business
So get with this
Doing this in the flesh, you just can't resist
From hoeing and going out every night
And Betty Boo's quite irritated, you're terminated
My mind's made up, can't be persuaded
It lacks a certain punch, that certain edge
Betty Boo's the best thing since sliced bread
I've had enough, yes, I want to cut
So take your crusty beats with you and dust
'Cause lately, you ain't been up to scratch
And I can't dance to that
[Chorus: The Beatmasters]
I can't dance to that music you're playin'
Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune
I can't dance to that music you're playin'
You better get yourself together
You'd better do it soon
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
(Boogie!)
[Verse 3: Betty Boo]
Came to your door, said you were busy
You had a visit from your Aunt Lizzy
So what we did was we postponed
Our dope beat session 'till she'd flown home
So I thought I'd practice all by myself
But realized I'd left my lyrics file on your shelf
I couldn't believe at what I found
Saw you and Aunt Lizzy getting on down
You can't imagine at what I saw
It wasn't Aunt Lizzy, but a cheap dumb broad
That was the last straw, wouldn't take no more
Walked out the door, what would I stay for?
He lied, but never tried
More interested in a bit on the side
But never mind, I've got better things to do
So all my best wishes from Betty Boo
[Chorus: The Beatmasters]
I can't dance to that music you're playin'
Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune
I can't dance to that music you're playin'
You better get yourself together
You'd better do it soon
I can't dance to that music you're playin' (I can't dance, no, baby)
Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune
I can't dance to that music you're playin' (I can't dance, no, baby)
You better get yourself together
You'd better do it soon
[Outro: Betty Boo]
I can't dance to that
