Clap On The One & Three

My baby she likes

That old kinda funky soul

(She do)

You just put a little glitter on your spit

When you rock n roll

(Woohoo)

I ain’t never been a quitter

I acquit her when she stole my soul

(Voodoo)

I said now you got the evidence

Why this song was wrote

(True ooh)

I’ll never forget

I did a double take or two

(That’s four)

She came a walking in the front door

Looking all across the room

(What for)

Floating up to me

She was so fly that she flew

(He swore)

And then she whispered something to me

That has changed my point of view

She said

Manholes

They’re in the street

Lesbian vegetarians

They don’t eat meat

Black people got slightly lighter skin

On the bottom of their feet

And old white ladies

Always clap on the one and three

At first I didn’t get it

Couldn’t catch it

And I failed to grasp

(No get)

But the second time I heard it

I was seconds from a heart attack

(Cold sweat)

Just throw your hands up

If you’ve got a question to ask

(You bet)

And yes we brought enough candy

For everybody in the class

(Oh yes we did)

So listen up close

To the words I’m about to yell

(Eyes up)

If you already know em

All you gotta do is help

(Rise up)

If your neighbor don’t know em

You can show em like a show and tell

(Wise up)

You say follow me baby

It’s easier than ringing a bathtub

(Ooh)

Manholes

They’re in the street

Lesbian vegetarians

They don’t eat meat

Black people got slightly lighter skin

On the bottoms of their feet

And old white ladies

Always clap on the one and three

Everybody now

Manholes

They’re in the street

Lesbian vegetarians

They don’t eat meat

Black people got slightly lighter skin

On the bottoms of their feet

And old white ladies

Always clap on the one and three

And that’s how it go

We may never know

We may never ever ever ever ever ever

Know for sure

But let me tell you

It’s always true

You think that I would lie to you

And if this song

Helps you get along

I don’t see why

I don’t see how it could be wrong

And if this song reaches just one person

If this song reaches just one person

That won’t be enough

You know that won’t be

Enough

That won’t be

Enough

I’d like to have at least two

I’d like to have at least two

I’d like to have at least two
