[Intro – spoken, playful] One, two— You ready? No, no, no... Faster. [Verse 1] Running down the street with a rhythm in my shoes Everybody's talking, I got nothing left to lose Tick-tock, don't stop, moving through the day I know what I mean but I don't know what I say Little bit of this and a little bit of that Flip it, skip it, hit it like a ra-ta-tat-tat Words getting shorter and my tongue's getting wild Hold on tight— Here comes the ride! [Pre-Chorus – accelerating] Take it slow Take it fast Make a little moment last One more time Round we go Ready? Set— GO! [Chorus – rapid fire] Ska-ba-da-bidi-bidi ram-a-dam-a-day Tikka-takka-ratta-ratta get out of my way Bada-bada-boom-boom everybody say— HEY! HEY! HEY! Rikki-tikki-rabba-dabba digga-digga-do Samma-lamma-bim-bam, coming straight at you Wikka-wakka-zippa-zappa tell me what to do— I DON'T KNOW! But I like it! [Verse 2] Morning cup of coffee and I'm running out of time Tried to say good morning but it came out in a rhyme Phone rings, bell sings, someone's at the door I said "give me just a second"— Then I said a thousand more Quick click, big trick, everybody move Ratta-datta-bidi-bam, I've got something to prove Maybe it is language, maybe it's a beat Maybe all you really need— Is something you repeat! [Pre-Chorus – faster] Say it once Say it twice Now say it faster, roll the dice Left and right High and low Ready? Set— GO! [Chorus – faster] Ska-ba-da-bidi-bidi ram-a-dam-a-day Tikka-takka-ratta-ratta get out of my way Bada-bada-boom-boom everybody say— HEY! HEY! HEY! Rikki-tikki-rabba-dabba digga-digga-do Samma-lamma-bim-bam, coming straight at you Wikka-wakka-zippa-zappa tell me what to do— I DON'T KNOW! But I like it! [Break – half time] Wait... Did anybody understand that? No? Good. [Build – spoken to sung, gradually accelerating] I said it once I said it twice I said it left I said it right I said the thing I meant the thing I lost the thing— So let me try again! [Rapid Tongue-Twister] Quick little rhythm with a kick in the middle And a little bit of riddle while I'm playing with the syllable Give me a minute but I only need a second If you think you can follow then you better get ready— [Extreme Scat – double time] Biddi-biddi-badda-badda Rikki-tikki-ratta-tatta Zigga-zagga-zumma-zamma Dibba-dabba-DAY! Kitta-katta-wikki-wakka Rabba-dabba-tikka-takka Sippa-zippa-rippa-rappa GET OUT OF MY WAY! [Instrumental hit] HEY! [Final Chorus – maximum energy] Ska-ba-da-bidi-bidi ram-a-dam-a-day Tikka-takka-ratta-ratta get out of my way Bada-bada-boom-boom everybody say— HEY! HEY! HEY! Rikki-tikki-rabba-dabba digga-digga-do Samma-lamma-bim-bam, coming straight at you Wikka-wakka-zippa-zappa tell me what to do— I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T CARE! JUST KEEP GOING! [Final Scat – frantic] Bidi-bada-bidi-bada Tiki-taka-riki-raka Zimi-zama-rama-lama BOM-BA-DIGGA-DAY! Rabba-dabba-zikka-zakka Wikki-wakka-tikka-takka Biddi-biddi-biddi-biddi— STOP! [Outro – silence, then spoken] ...I forgot the words.
