This here's a jam
for all the fellas
tryna do what
those ladies tell us
Get shot down
'cause you're
over-zealous
play hard to get
and females get jealous
Okay smarty
go to a party
girls are scantily clad
and showin' body
A chick walks by
you wish you could
sex her but you're
standing on a wall
like you was Poindexter
Next days function
high class luncheon
food is served
and you're stone
cold munchin'
When music comes on
people start to dance
but you ate so much
you nearly split
your pants
A girl starts walking
guys start gawking
sits down next to you
and starts talking
Shs says she wants
to dance 'cause
she likes to groove
so come on fatso
and just bust a move
Just bust a move
You're on a mission
and you're wishin'
someone could cure
your lonely condition
Lookin' for love
in all the wrong places
no fine girls
just ugly faces
From frustration
first inclination
is to become a monk
and leave the situation
But every dark tunnel
has a light of hope
so don't hang yourself
with a celibate rope
Your movie's showin'
so you're goin'
couldn't care less
about the five
you're blowin'
Theatre gets dark
just to start the show
and then you spot
a fine woman
sittin' in your row
She's dressed in yellow
she says "Hello
come sit next to me
you fine fellow"
You run over there
without a second to lose
and what comes next
hey bust a move
Just bust a move
In this city
ladies look pretty
guys tell jokes
so they can seem witty
Tell a funny joke
just to get some play
and then you make
a funny move and she
says "No way"
Girls are fakin'
goodness sakin'
they want a man
who brings home
the bacon
Got no money
and you got no car
then you got no women
and there you are
Some girls are sadistic
much too realistic
lookin' for a man
makes them
opportunistic
They're lyin' on a beach
perpetrating a tan
so that a brother
with money
can be their man
So on the beach
you're strollin'
real high rollin'
Everything you have
is yours and not stolen
a girl runs up with
somethin' to prove
So don't just stand there
bust a move
Just bust a move
Your best friend Harry
has a brother Larry
in five days from now
he's gonna marry
He's hopin' you can
make it there if you can
'cause in the ceremony
you'll be the best man
You say neat-o
check your libido
and roll to the church
in your new tuxedo
The bride walks down
just to start the wedding
and there's one more girl
you won't be getting
So you start thinkin'
then you start blinking
a bridesmaid looks
and thinks that
you're winking
She thinks your kinda
cute so she winks back
and now you're feelin'
really fine 'cause
the girl is stacked
Reception's jumpin'
bass is pumpin'
look at the girl
and your heart
starts thumpin'
She says she wants
to dance
to a different groove
now you know
what to do G bust a move
Just bust a move
Move it boy
