Lyrics
Hey, yeah, I wanna shoop,
baby
Ooh, how you doin', baby?
No, not you
You, the bow-legged one, yeah
What's your name?
Damn, that sounds sexy uh
Here I go, here I go, here I go again (again?)
Girls, what's my weakness? (Men!)
Ok then, chillin', chillin'
Mindin' my business (word)
Yo, Salt, I looked around, and I couldn't believe this
I swear, I stared, my niece my witness
The brother had it goin' on with somethin'
kinda, uh
Wicked, wicked (ooh) had to kick it
I'm not shy so I asked for the digits
A ho? No, that don't make me
See what I want slip slide to it swifty
Felt it in my hips so I dipped back to my bag of tricks
Then I flipped for a tip, make me
wanna do tricks for him
Lick him like a lollipop should be licked
Came to my senses and I chilled for a bit
Don't know how you do the voodoo that you do
So well it's a spell, hell, makes me
wanna shoop shoop shoop
Shoop shoop ba-doops shoop ba-doop
Shoop ba-doop ba-doop
Ba-doop shoop ba-doop shoop

Umm, you're packed and you're stacked 'specially in the
back
Brother, wanna thank your
mother for a butt like that (thanks, Mom)
Can I get some fries with that shake-shake boobie?
If looks could kill you would be an uzi
You're a shotgun, bang! What's up with that thang?
I wanna know how does it
hang?
Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Lover
Like Prince said you're a sexy mutha well-a
I like 'em real wild, b-boy style by the mile
Smooth black skin with a smile
Bright as the sun, I wanna
have some fun
Come and give me some of that yum-yum
Chocolate chip, honey dip, can I get a scoop?
Baby, take a ride in my coupe, you make me
wanna
Shoop shoop ba-doop (Baby, hey)
Ba-doop, ba-doop, ba-doop, ba-doop

Effort
Debbie: I give up! I
simply can’t learn French!
Helen: Why do you say that? I
think you’re making a lot of progress.
Debbie: No, I’m not.
I try and try and I
still can’t speak it very well.
Helen: Learning any language takes a lot of
effort. But don’t give up. Why don’t we practice those dialogs together?
Debbie:Good idea.
That just might help.
Conversation Notes
give up
Meaning is stop trying; abandon effort.
simply
Meaning is absolutely, completely, clearly.
I try and try
Meaning is I try again and again. Other examples of
repetition of the verb to express continuous or repeated activity: I read
and read, and I still can’t understand it. He writes and writes, but he
never produces a worthwhile composition. The children play and play that
game and never seem to get tired of it.
Good idea
Meaning is that’s a good idea.
That just might help
Meaning is that might, in fact, be a helpful thing to
do.
