Lilly Done The Zampoughi Every Time I Pulled Her Coattail

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What's the prettiest sight in the world? Some say a white on white or red on red machine Some say the connection coming around the corner Some say a plate of collard and mustard The prettiest thing I ever seen is Lilly Lilly doing the zampoughi Zampoughi, that's what I used to call the Funny kind of dance she'd do Lilly do the zampoughi every time I pulled her coattail Scream and scratching Make your heart bust with pride Lay there, catch her breath, getting herself back together Then, the greatest thing on earth She'd jump up and do that zampoughi baby For all she was worth For me [Bridge] Lilly dance the zampoughi every time I pull her coattail I can see it now before me, as plain as day Do it, Lilly Boom chacka boom chacka boom Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly [Verse 2] Sometimes I'd lay into her oven style So hot we'd almost smother Lay there panting a little while Then Lilly jumps on her feet Sweat be running off her head I'd be running down her leg She'd smile down Be like getting baptized or something, roomie Be like the holy ghost or something calling me Lord She'd grunt, and I'd work the left side of her street "Get it, get it, get it baby" That's what she'd whisper Middle of the night, 2 o' clock in the morning Pouring down rain But I'd work the right side of the street I ain't scared, why should I be I just know she ain't mad at me Soon I'll see her forever Soon she'll be dancin' like she used to But just for me [Bridge] Lilly dance the zampoughi every time I pull her coattail I can see it now before me, as plain as day Do it, Lilly Boom chacka boom chacka boom Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly [Verse 3] Sometimes get it together country style So hard until we get a Mr. Charlie Horse Get back that breath and that old cramp be done Off that old pallet she'd come Most boys shape ever laid eyes on The greatest dance ever done Towering up over me like some african queen African queen except for the fly paper in the ceiling All that mojo shakin' and swangin' over me I laid that lookin' Happiness ain't even a word for it When you ball a chick, and you know she had a ball Gets up and dancin' and everything That's it baby, I laid that lookin' Jim Ten feet tall, her dance was me Jim How you gonna explain? What could the judge have understood about Lilly doing the zampoughi every time Somebody pull her coattail [Bridge] Lilly done the zampoughi every time I pull her coattail I can see it before me now, plain as day Do it, Lilly Boom chacka boom chacka Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly Lilly! Lilly! [Verse 4] What's the prettiest thing you ever seen? A new shore, white on white, red on red, green on green Prettiest thing I ever seen was Lilly Lilly doing the zam-pam-poughi Zam-pam-poughi, that's what I used to call That funny kind of dance she do [Bridge] Lilly done the zampoughi every time I pull her coattail I can see it before me now, as plain as day Do it, Lilly Boom chacka Boom chacka Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly Do it, Lilly Lilly! Lilly!
