Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
And all the girls say
Bm F#m Bm Em
I'm pretty fly for a white guy
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
Bm
You know it's kinda hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway.
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial.
Bm
So don't debate, a player straight
D E
You know he really doesn't get it anyway.
Bm
He's gonna play the field and keep it real
D E
for you no way, for you no way
Bm
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate.
D E G
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake.
A
The world needs wannabes.
Bm
Hey, hey, do that brand new thing
Chorus:
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly
(for a white guy)
He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruisin' in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lily ass
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gotta play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least that you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabes, ah
Hey, hey, do that brand-new thing!
Now he's gettin' a tattoo, yeah, he's gettin' ink done
He asked for a 13 but they drew a 31
Friends say, he's tryin' too hard and he's not quite hip
But in his own mind, he's the, he's the dopest trip
Chorus:
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Give it to me baby (uh huh, uh huh)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
Gotta play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least that you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes, ah
The world loves wannabes, ah
Let's get some more wannabes, ah
Hey, hey, do that brand-new thing!
