Shimmy shimmy cocoa puffs

Spicing up your life

I can shake it to the left

I can slide to the right

Inches to your ankles

Glitter gloss on your lips

I can touch it move it babe

Shake my hips when I dip

Mix it up and shake it up

and throw it in a pot

Salt and pepper, lemon, lime

I can mix it 'til it's hot

Bang bang choo choo train

Soul in the caboose

Take you all around town

I can get you good n' loose

Down down baby

I'm skippin' down your block

Icee pops in the summer

Double dutch and hop scotch

My name is Brooklyn

Born in '91

Bringing levels to your game

Groovin' with ya just for fun
