You try to be a lady, but you're walking like a sauerkraut (Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!) Looka— Looka like-a, like-a— Like you wanna get some (Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)

Descendents had a record sayin' somethin' bout Milo (Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!) You can take the A-train, but you're gonna have to lie low (Whoop-de-whoop-de-get-ta-gala-goop-ta!)
