Lyrics[]
I been around the world I seen a lot of things That make your chicken curl You're squeezing like boys and teasing like girls Confusing like boys and girls Plan an exit route... parachute... rubber suit Are you ready for a little swim There's regular... queen size... flip it on the b-side... solid gold Oh my God what's this? I saw the bedroom toys Now I'm stalling I can't believe my eyes I saw the bedroom toys Now I'm crawling I learn to improvise Checking out the five star atmosphere You want some expertise If you got treasure, I'll pay you for the pleasure It'll bring you to your knees Silicone romance, what's your name fancypants? Got your eye on the employees Forget about the reeling, talk about the feeling Solid Gold You want it... you got it... now what you gonna do with it? Now you washed up, beat smashing, grab no receipt takes the platinum off your shine Lazy bed star, la di da, petty bourgeois Oh my would you look at the time Until you wise up, you know we're gonna line up The pimps and snitches to dip into your riches If you can't destroy it, you might as well enjoy it
