Lyrics

[Intro: Chris Frantz] I'm just a murder weapon! Comin' at you right now, ladies and gentlemen, the Tom Tom Club, so check it out! [Interlude 1: Chris Frantz] Ha! Shock! Shock! Shock! Shock! Ho! Uh-Huh! Check it out! [Verse 1: Tina Weymouth] (Whatcha gonna do when you get out of jail?) I'm gonna have some fun! (What do you consider fun?) Fun, nasty fun! [Interlude 2: Chris Frantz] The girls can do it too, y'all! [Chorus 1: Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz] I'm in heaven With my boyfriend, my laughing boyfriend There's no beginning, and there is no end Time isn't present in that dimension (Sure ain't!) He'll take my arm When we're walking, rolling and rocking It's one time I'm glad I'm not a man Feels like I'm dreaming when I'm not sleeping [Interlude 3: Chris Frantz] Hahahaha! Oh-Ha! Shock! Huagh! Shock! Huagh! Shock! Check it out! [Verse 2: Tina Weymouth] All the weekend Boyfriend was missing I sure am missing Having him hold me in his warm arms We went insane when we took cocaine [Interlude 4: Chris Frantz] Psychedelic and Funkadelic! Uh-huh! And everything is just jumping outta sight! All night! Check it out! [Verse 3: Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz] Stepping in-a rhythm to-a Kurtis Blow Who needs to think when your feet just go? With a hippity-hop, with a hippity-ho Who needs to think when your feet just go? (Bohannon!) Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon (Bohannon) Who needs to think when your feet just go? (Bohannon!) Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon, Bohannon [Interlude 5: Chris Frantz] Ha! James Brown, James Brown! Yeow! James Brown, James Brown! Yo! He still is the Godfather of Soul, y'all, so check it out! Hah! Feels good to me! [Chorus 2: Tina Weymouth] If you see him Please remind him, unhappy boyfriend Well, he's the genius of love He's got a greater depth of feeling Well, he's the genius of love He's so deep [Verse 4: Chris Frantz] Freeze! Looks frozen to me! Who dat? Who dat? Now who dat tryin' to be bad? You mother! Who dat? Who dat? Now who dat tryin' to be bad? You mother! Who dat? Who dat? Now who dat tryin' to be bad? You mother! Who dat? Who dat? Everybody! Rock the house! Yeah! Uh-huh! Oh-ha! [Outro: Chris Frantz] Okay that's it for the Tom Tom Club, nice to be here! We gotta change back into the Talking Heads! So when I say "bye," we gotta go! Okay! Okay bye! (Thank you, nice to be here!)
