Partying with Jimmy, Jack and Jameson
And their friend Johnnie’s a few steps adjacent
Pumping bassline got my mind in a funk
Don’t blame it on the beats, I’m wobbly ‘cause I’m drunk
And I can’t hold steady ‘cause the room is careening
Oh God, what’s this feeling in my tummy that I’m feeling?
Got this warm liquid burning in my throat
Gotta have a good time, gotta grind
Gotta throw up!
(To your John)
Let him solve your problems
(Who else you gon’)
Call or can depend on?
(Time after time)
He’s your confidante
(There’s no denying)
He’s your faithful ponce
[Chorus]
Sweetheart
Don’t buy into the lies fed to you by Big Daddy Splenda
Sweet tart
Don’t bite into his sugar cane
Sweetheart
This guy will try to be kind but he has an agenda
Sweet tart
Better make a run for it ‘fore it’s too late
[Verse 2]
I’m getting in the groove
Riding with the Four Horsemen
Put it on the tab
Time’s wasting, but there’s more to spend
Cluck, suck, fuck in the pen with the hawks
On the prowl preening for the chicken and their cocks
[Pre Chorus]
Are you having fun?
(In your bars?)
Bathrooms and the clubs?
(What about)
The parks and all the saunas?
(All the boys)
Bumping in your bum?
[Chorus]
Sweetheart
Don’t buy into the lies fed to you by Big Daddy Splenda
Sweet tart
Don’t bite into his sugar cane
Sweetheart
This guy will try to be kind but he has an agenda
Sweet tart
Better make a run for it ‘fore it’s too late
[Bridge]
Charlie get out
From this dark underground
All this grime, grease and oil
Will only lead to turmoil
Gotta stop horsing around
On this merry-go-round
So what if they bray or they neigh?
There’ll still be a heavy price to pay
Please think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your (music!)
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your (music!)
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your (music!)
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your music
Think about your (music!)
[Chorus x2]
Sweetheart
Don’t buy into the lies fed to you by Big Daddy Splenda
Sweet tart
Don’t bite into his sugar cane
Sweetheart
This guy will try to be kind but he has an agenda
Sweet tart
Better make a run for it ‘fore it’s too late
Sweetheart
Don’t buy into the lies fed to you by Big Daddy Splenda
Sweet tart
Don’t bite into his sugar cane
Sweetheart
This guy will try to be kind but he has an agenda
Sweet tart
Better make a run for it ‘fore it’s too late
