lyrics
The title of this rap
And the subject of it too
I’ll come right out and say it
Beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush
Now let me reacquaint you
With somebody who ain’t you
My name in fact is Brian Woodbury
And that’s enough of that
I’m Elvis with the pelvis
You’re priestess with the leastest
The goddess in the bodice
But the modest is the hottest
C H O R U S
When shove comes to push
You gotta beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush, etc.
I don’t just get elated
I get quite elongated
My day-to-day existence data base is daily raided
Till appetite is sated.
Don’t mean to be X-rated
Till ghost is got
And roast is rot
And master has been baited
CHORUS
I don’t get even, I get odd!
Now I don’t dial direct,
‘Cause you don’t know what to expect.
The house that stands where Jack built
Is the one ’e wrecked,
Is the one ’e wrecked
Is the one ’e…
Record broken, I stand corrected
Let me get myself collected
CHORUS
But in the eighties-nineties
The ladies where these nighties
To keep from housewives bored
According to the latest findings
Let’s pause a moment for AIDS
L A S T C H O R U S
When shove comes to push
You gotta beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush, bush, bush
B-beat around the bush
And the subject of it too
I’ll come right out and say it
Beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush
Now let me reacquaint you
With somebody who ain’t you
My name in fact is Brian Woodbury
And that’s enough of that
I’m Elvis with the pelvis
You’re priestess with the leastest
The goddess in the bodice
But the modest is the hottest
C H O R U S
When shove comes to push
You gotta beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush, etc.
I don’t just get elated
I get quite elongated
My day-to-day existence data base is daily raided
Till appetite is sated.
Don’t mean to be X-rated
Till ghost is got
And roast is rot
And master has been baited
CHORUS
I don’t get even, I get odd!
Now I don’t dial direct,
‘Cause you don’t know what to expect.
The house that stands where Jack built
Is the one ’e wrecked,
Is the one ’e wrecked
Is the one ’e…
Record broken, I stand corrected
Let me get myself collected
CHORUS
But in the eighties-nineties
The ladies where these nighties
To keep from housewives bored
According to the latest findings
Let’s pause a moment for AIDS
L A S T C H O R U S
When shove comes to push
You gotta beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush
B-beat around the bush
Beat around the bush, bush, bush
B-beat around the bush
