Buddy

[Dove + (Q-Tip)]

Meany, meany, meany, meany, meany (Say what?)

Meany, meany, meany, meany, meany (Say what?)

Meany, meany, meany, meany, meany, mean

(Oh, you gotta do that again, Dove)

Meany, meany, meany, meany, meany (Say what?)

Meany, meany, meany, meany, meany (Say what?)

Meany, meany, meany, meany, meany, mean (OK)

Hello, it's the Soul

Troopin' in wit the Jungle patrol

And this one's about the KO's, the knockouts out there

Who I call my buddy

Hold up (Wait a minute)

[Pos]

Now just wait

We're gonna talk about Buddy on this plate

But before we let the herd out the gate

Make sure the all the levels are straight out

(The Jungle, the Jungle, the Brothers, the Brothers)

[Afrika]

De La Soul, on a roll

Black medallions, no gold

Hangin' out wit Pos, hangin' out wit Mase

Buddy buddy buddy all in my face

[Mike G]

For the lap, Jimbrowski must wear a cap

Just in case the young girl likes to clap

Ain't for the wind but before I begin

I initiate the buddy with a slap

[Phife]

Now drop the beat, for the Phifer from A Tribe Called Quest

When I see Buddy, I will never half step

I just do her Tribal style and then jet

The Buddy that I like is to be sexy and nice

Just good enough for the one they call Phife

A brown skin Buddy with shoulder length hair

Nice firm breasts and a round derrierre

[Q-Tip]

Now for the next, I'm the Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest

And if you quest for the Buddy, don't fess

If your jimmy wants nothing but the best (the best)

The best (Ooh Wee!)

Let's stick out the jimmy and see what we can catch

(Stick 'em up, stick 'em up jimmy)

Nets won't be needed unless

(Jenny wanna get right to the flesh)

[Afrika]

Dancin' on the dance floor

Girl, it's you that I adore

Step off stage, you scream for more

Native Tongues got rhymes galore

[Mike G]

Snap my fingers, make you mine

If not, I'll snap a second time

After that, I guarantee

You will be standing next to me

[Afrika]

Fly buddy don't you know you make me go nutty

I'm so glad that you're not a fuddy duddy

Not too skinny and not too chubby

Soft like silly putty

Miss Crabtree, I know that you're not mad at me

Cuz I told you that it was your buddy

That was making me ever so horny

Junglelistically horny

[Pos]

I won't lie, I love B-U-D-D-Y

Cause I never let it walk on by

When it comes to me and Jenny, I seem (very serious)

Like a peek freen

Buddy is an act that occurs on the lift

When Jimmy and Jenny start shootin the gift

Boy let me get shot, I won't even riff

[Dove {Q-Tip}]

On the dial, my Buddy talks to me for a while

Plug Two is the {Q to her Tip}

On the A-side or sometimes the flip (word up)

Buddy, is the bud to my daisy tree (uh huh)

And the luden to my do-re-mi

And the pleaser to my man Plug Three

(Plug Three gets the whole caboodle)

[Mike G]

Behind the bush, my Buddy likes the way that I push

And like a champ, just knock it on out

Never ever once sellin' out

(Well let loose the juice)

My Buddy helps me to (De La my Soul)

Keepin Jimmy in total control

Without Buddy, I'd be on a roll

[Monie Love]

Now as the lady

I thought that Jungle and Quest and Soul would just maybe

Give me the chance to say that I get crazy

Due to the fact I let Buddy amaze me

As a matter of fact, it crazes me in many ways

I decided that it was time for Monie Love to say

That when it comes to the B, you know that I don't play

'Cause to me chasin Buddy is the perfect way (perfect way)

To spend the day (to spend the day)

[Q-Tip and Queen Latifah]

Oooh child, things are gettin a little easier

Oooh Buddy gets easier (yeah)

Oooh child, things are gettin a little easier

Oooh Buddy gets easier

[Q-Tip]

Girl, I heard you're lookin' for some good times

If you Quest from the Soul, guess what we'll find

Whole lotta fun, lots of fun together

Just like kissin' cousins (Yeah, that's kinda clever)

Close like bosoms, bosoms stay close

If you be my Buddy, I will toast

That we're like Ethel Mertz and Lucille McGillicuddy

You can be mine and I can be your Buddy

[Dove]

The best Buddy's in evening wear

Long lovin' lets Tru know (he's in there)

I feel sorry for those who pay a fare (a fee?)

Word to the D

I don't beg, I just tease my Buddy with my right leg (ha-ha)

And then when it's ready what's said

Is Buddy is best in bed (Word to the D)

[Afrika]

Buddy buddy told us all to get into a circle

Said don't bug because I won't hurt you

All I really wanna do is freak you

(You know what? She freaked us)

[Mike G]

And I watched and then I checked my Swatch to see the time

The Tribe had formed a Buddy line

And that Buddy was mine, all mine

[Pos]

Now when Quest, Jungle and De La Soul

Is at the clubs, our ritual unfolds

Grab our bones and start swingin' our hands

(Then Jenny start flockin' in everywhere)

'Cause Jenifa just wants to stay aware

Yo fellas, should we keep her aware?

(Mmm, Hmm...yeah!!!)

[Outro: Samples and dialogue]

J-I-M, B-R-O, W-S-K-I

And the girl was next to me

In order to make his cave girl smile

He had to improve his whistle's style

Here he comes now

Jim Browski

It's very stimulating

Oh the dic-dic-dictionary, is very necessary

Ooh I don't know what to do about this Buddy stuff man

It driving me crazy

Sing French to me baby

Oh my god, what is that in your hand

Wait a minute what are you doing with that

Ay dio mios

Oh my goodness

There's something about these French men out here today

Buddy?

Let me tell you something

You can be my Buddy anytime
