Cabbage Patch

Lyrics

[Intro: Dr. Dre & Shakespeare, Dr. Dre, Shakespeare] Went to a party in West L.A. Wanna learn a new dance, that's what you say Well, here's a new dance that can't be matched So just step to the floor and do the Cabbage Patch [Verse 1: Dr. Dre & Shakespeare, Dr. Dre, Shakespeare] When I got to the party, it was half past 9 Cold rockin' to the rhythm a B-boy's rhyme When I stepped to the floor it was a total wreck 'Cause I tried to do The Wop and almost broke my neck Now when I got to the party, all the girls went nuts 'Cause I was jammin' to the DJ's cut (Say what?) Word up, it was a trip, oh yes indeed Hurt my back when I tried to bust the Centipede Then I stepped off the floor just to keep my respect Saw my homie Dr. Dre cold rubbin' his neck He said, there's a new way that's right and exact So we made this dance called the Cabbage Patch Now it's easy to do, only done by a few So just pay close attention to the Wreckin' Cru You don't need fresh clothes or a pretty face You just need hella beat with a so-so bass Now my name is Dr. Dre, and I'm Shakespeare And we're about to put the Cabbage Patch dance in gear So if you wanna learn the dance, then you should not miss 'Cause it goes a little something like this... [Break] Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho [Verse 2: Dr. Dre & Shakespeare, Dr. Dre, Shakespeare] If you didn't see it, here's what you do Just listen up close and we'll explain to you 'Cause the Cabbage Patch dance is only for fresh kids But they have to know exactly what time it is You move your left shoulder up and the right one down And if you wanna get ill, try to turn it around You have to move your feet too, that's what I said But they have to syncopate with the moves of your head When you got the dance right, then you will know 'Cause your body will sweat and your face will glow And if you try another dance then you've got nerve 'Cause any other dance is to the curb (Yeah, it is) It's the Cabbage Patch dance and it's from L.A. It started with Shakespeare and my main man Dre And with Lonzo here we only need one more That's my mellow Yella man 'cause he completes the four It's the Wreckin' Cru y'all from the T-O-P Gonna do it like this 'til we're B-I-G Shakespeare and Dr. Dre gonna rock it like this Giving good vibrations just like Sunkist Donovan's in the place, he's the engineer Gonna try to make the cut sound crystal clear When he pumps the bass up, your eardrums swell From the three kick drums out the SP-12 So right about now it's time to get into it The Wreckin' Cru is gonna show you how to do it So get on the floor and take a chance And bust a fresh move called the Cabbage Patch dance [Break] Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho [Verse 3: Dr. Dre & Shakespeare, Dr. Dre, Shakespeare] While you're rockin' to the Big Beat drum Let us take a minute out and tell you where we're from It's the West Coast city that they call L.A. That's sunny California where the ballers play If you're not from here, I'ma let you know That we never ever have to worry 'bout no snow So just hit Venice Beach and put your mind at ease 'Cause it's the middle of the winter and it's 80 degrees Cruisin' down Crenshaw with your top pulled back Cold rockin' to the beat of the Cabbage Patch Got a compact disc that's top of the line 12-inch EV's and a fresh Alpine With the fresh Air Jordans and a Fila shirt Headed to your homie's house 'cause it's time to do work So then I called him on the phone to tell him I was near him Had to cut the sounds down so that I could hear him The last song we did was called "The Fly" Didn't quite hit, let me tell you why When we cut the song it sounded great Went to CBS, got stuck in red tape Held us up, kicked us in the butt So we said "Forget it, fire up Kru-Cut" Picked up a group and we were on our way Fresh homeboys called C.I.A [Outro] Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho, ho, ho, ho Ho
