and i'm not scared

to do the fearless boogie
to do the fearless boogie
smokin' fearless boogie
until it's gone

they call me a pontiac
the red in my neck
they call me a cadillac
they call me a wreck
now i'm not afraid
and i'm not scared
now i ain't gonna lose it
no, i'm not afear

and do the fearless boogie

smokin' fearless boogie
until it's gone

they call me a lover
they call me a fool
they call me a winner
they call me a mule

do the fearless boogie
do the fearless boogie
smokin' fearless boogie
until it's gone, gone, gone [till the fear is gone]

i got a gyroscope goin' round and round
got a thunderbird take me all over town
got a transistor radio standin' on the mix [spottin'/startin']

who would believe
after such a long time
i found her again
and that's not just another line

a last minute scene then another
if you hit your mark
i gotta tell ya brother

it should be made into a movie
who would believe it
should be made into a movie
oh you just have to see it

i gotta' confess
i lost a measure of faith
but she held the power
followed me place to place

first a rival, then a lover
if you can shoot it
i gotta tell ya' brother

it should be made into a movie
but who would believe it
should be made into a movie
oh you just got to see it

it should be made into a movie
who in their right mind
would spend hard earned money to see it
it should be made into a movie
what a scene, what a scene

it should be made into a movie
who would believe
it should be made into a movie
i guess you just have to see it.

a nine volt battery from japan
and it's got the beat
a little tape deck in my hand
it's so so sweet

keeps me rockin' round the clock
i don't mind it   [when i]
i got the beatbox, the beatbox,
just a beatin' that box
beatbox, beatbox

one c-90's back to back  [dc 9 is]
jumpin' on that jack
don't play with fire or
unplug my wire, beg or steal  [baby steel is..]
its not for hire

keeps me rockin' 'round the clock
i don't mind it because
i got the beatbox, the beatbox
just a beatin' that box
beatbox, beatbox

paris, rome, toyko, osaka, forenza, milano, vesuvio

dallas, texas [have mercy]

i got a favorite place
in a favorite town
in a favorite foreign country
i been hangin' around

it aint too big
and it ain't too far
and then we could go
crazy with our head in a jar

and go trippin'
trippin', away

you got a secret slot [slide]
in a secret spot
we could secretly freak out
if you gimme a shot

and secretly meet tomorrow [secret me]
if i tell you what time
tell me what your name is
and what's cho' sign
let's go trippin'
trippin' away

you can take your half
or you can take mine
its totally shine or totally blind
but one or the other's gonna' work out fine

we go trippin'
trippin' away
we go trippin'
we go trippin'

so now ladies and gentlemen, it is star time; are you ready for star time?
it's a stunning and persuasive pleasure, to present to you national and
international knorn.... that lil' ol' band from texas, the zz tops

i dropped out of society
fell by the wayside so to speak
quit my job i'm a lazy slob
never lift a finger 'cept for my heart throb

i'm a sinpusher, hangin' on the on the "dl" down low
just a sinpusher, kinda like heaven or hell

i want a bit of everything
i'm wanted by the law
i just want a little bit
i guess i want it all

i'm a sinpusher, hangin' on the on the "dl" down low
i'm just a sinpusher, kinda like heaven or hell

i like my big fat back
i like my ya ya thin
i like to push it down
into the land of sin

i'm a sinpusher, hangin' on the on the d.l., down low
i'm a sinpusher, kinda like heaven or hell

baby let me be
your lovin' teddy bear
put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere

oh let me be
your teddy bear

baby let me be
around you every night
run your fingers through my hair
and cuddle me real tight

oh let me be
your teddy bear

i don't want to be a tiger
cause tigers play to rough
i don't want to be a lion
‘cause lions ain't the kind
you love enough

i don't want to be a tiger
cause tigers play to rough
i don't want to be a rhino
cause rhino's horn to gruff
i don't want to be a cheetah
cause cheetahs scratch your stuff
i don't want be a lion
cause lion's ain't the kind
you love enough

oh now baby let me be
around your cage tonight
wrap your lock around my key
and turn it round just right

oh let me be
your teddy bear
oh let me be
hay hi ho teddy bear
oh teddy bear

i went down across that borderline
down in the planet mexico
bought some tequila
big sack o' whack
i let go of th' peso i couldn't get back

hey mr. millionaire, hey mr. million
can you loan this po' boy a dime?

i walked down across the borderline
way over planet london
bought a rolls royce an’ a jaguar
it's doesn't not matter how rich you are

hey mr. millioniare, hey mr. million
can you loan this po’ boy a dime?

i moved on across that borderline
deep off th' planet louisiana
threw some dice
it was oh so nice
but it left me eatin' red beans and rice

hey mr. millionaire, hey mr. million
could you loan this po’ boy a dime?
hey mr. millionaire, hey mr. million
loan this po' boy a dime
loan this po' boy a dime

turn yourself into a banker

red, red lips
swivelin' hips
movin' in some new blue jeans
shufflin' sweet right with that beat
she can really shake that thing

belt buckle
shinin' day and night
when she shake that thing
hope it's next to mine

i said, lord have mercy, my o' my
you been lookin' too good
i think you wanna shake with me
baby i think you should

belt buckle
shinin' day and night
when you shake that thing
hope it's next to mine

please, please baby, i wanna say
you lookin' so fine
and if you hold mine next to yours
i'll hold you next to mine

belt buckle
shinin' day and night
when you shake that thing
hope it's next to mine
