The Time: The Bird (Studio Version)

What time is it?
Alright, y'all got 10 seconds to get to the dance floor.
Whawk!
C'mon now...

(chorus)
America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance and it's called "The bird"
You don't need no finesse or no personality, you just need two arms and an attitude.
And everybody sing with me, come on now!
Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Brothers, don't be cool. Women like it sometimes when you act a fool.
Sisters, don't be shy. Let your body get loose, you ain't to fat to fly.
Come on now! Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Yes! Hold on now, this dance ain't for everybody. Just the sexy people.
White folks, you're much too tight.
You gotta shake your head like the black folks. You might get some tonight.
Look out!

(repeat chorus)

Everybody! Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Alright! When the horns blow, I want everybody on the floor.
You know this groove is sexy, you ain't got no excuse no more.
Jerome, I wanna show 'em where we live.
Siamese twins joined at the suit. Fellas, give me something to fly with.

Alright brothers, keep up with that.
Jerome, bring me my hat. Did I mess my hair up?
Fellas, y'all play something.
I'm go over here and talk to this girl.

... Hey Morris, tonight we had a good time to find a girlfriend.

I pledge allegiance to THE TIME.
America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance called "The bird".

Fellas? - Yeah!
What's the word? - Whawk!
When you wanna get some, what'd you do? - Do "The bird"!

Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Fellas? - Yeah!
What's the word? - Whawk!
When we wanna get some, what'd we do? - Do "The bird""!

America?
What's the word? - Whawk!
When you wanna get some, what'd you do? - Do "The bird""!

Take it home!
Whawk!
