[Intro] [whispered vocals] Smooth operator Smooth operator [Verse] Tell me what's the deal, Doc? I ain't talkin' 'bout a mailbox Grindin' like a rail car Fresher than the Ziploc Bars are like a gym sock Words are like a matchbox Orphan Annie matched up with the ox Hannibal, I handle it with care, I swear Rippin' through the snare like I was a bear Rhymes sharper than a pear Not a player, but I'm rare There's levels to the lair Underground, we gotta dig in there So, beware This is not a nightmare This is not a good dream This is not a life I wanted But it's what it took to bring me to the cream And by the cream, I mean the green But it's never what it seems I still see demons when I dream It's a jungle full of trees Full of rats and black cats and hyenas When you up, they show you love, but really, they be schemin' Thinkin' they can take me out, it's a new season And they got the same problems as the last season But, no matter the season, I bring the heat like summer Winter, fall, spring, whatever They know I bring the thunder But I'm smooth, smooth, smooth I'm so smooth I'm smooth, smooth, smooth Smooth operator [Chorus] I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator I'm a smooth operator
