**Song descriptions**

100 M.P.H.

There's a fairytale that says
Once upon a time
Funky music belong 2 people who
Drink cheap wine

CHORUS:
That's why I gotta get on my own way
That's the new golden rule
Enjoy the closest human
I'm much 2 hot 2 be cool
100 miles an hour, baby
That's what it's all about
I need a lover that could slow me down
Somebody that'll make me shout

There's a misconception that says
Everything on the one (Everything on the one)
And my first reaction is just try 2
Have a little fun

CHORUS

There's a fairytale that says
Twice in the Land of Oz
Dorothy made love 2 the Lion
Because because because...

CHORUS

Make me shout
Can U make me shout?

All Day, All Night

{French spoken}

Ich liebe dich, ich liebe dich {"I love you, I love you" in German}

Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful ass
Darling, this is my final plea 4 love
Take me now or witness the slow and horrible death of your purple fox
My time is running out
I can wait no longer
I watch as U make love 2 others
Disgusting as it seems, it intoxicates me
U might say that I'm amused 2 the point
Where my blood increases, my heartbeat accelerates
And my mouth waters uncontrollably
4 I know that no man will ever love U like your purple fox
No man will ever kiss U in this lifetime or the next
The way U and I kiss 2night
Take me now as I am
4 I am becoming confused 2 what I stand 4 and desire
Tell me, darling, who I am, who I am, what I am, what am I?
What?

Oh, are these my lips
Or are they petals from some crazy flower?
Oh, are these my hips?
If they are, then they're some kind of powerful

CHORUS:
All day, all night
U can be my baby, I'll make U feel alright
All day, all night
U can be my baby, I'll make U feel alright

Oh, is this your mouth?
Am I swirling in some wet tornado?
Oh, U make me wanna shout
When I'm in your legs, I feel like Play-Doh

CHORUS

Woo, shockalaka
Shockalaka
Oh, is this your house?
Am I in an ocean of desire?
Oh, U make me wanna shout
When I'm in your love, I feel on fire (Ooh)

CHORUS

Aww, shockalaka
Shocka, sh, shockalaka

All day, uh all night, yeah
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
All day, (Lawd) all night (Shockalaka)
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
All day, (Lawd) all night (Funky in here)
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
All day, all night, yeah
U can be my baby, make U feel alright

Shockalaka {x2}
Start, don't stop, make love every night and all day
Everybody sing
Start, don't stop, make love every night and all day, hmmm
Start, don't stop, make love every night and all day
Shockalaka
Start, don't stop, make love every night and all day
Everybody say
All day, all night
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
All day, all night
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
All day

Shockalaka
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
Shockalaka
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
Yeah, shockalaka
U can be my baby, make U feel alright
Everybody say it now
U can be my baby, I'll make U feel alright (Yeah)
(Uh huh)

Around The World In A Day

Open your heart, open your mind
A train is leaving all day
A wonderful trip through our time
And laughter is all U pay

Around the world in a day, oh!
Around the world in a day

Now dig...
Loneliness already knows U
There ain't no reason 2 stay
Come here, take my hand, I'll show U
I think I know a better way, y'all

Around the world in a day, ow!
(Listen 2 me now)
Around the world in a day
All the babies sing it now

No, sha, sha
No, no shouting every day
No shouting
No, no shouting
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

The little one will escort U
2 places within your mind
(The former is red, white, and blue)
Former is red, white, and blue!
(The latter is a purple climb)
The latter is a purple - come on and climb!

Around the world in a day, sugar (Oh, baby)
Around the world in a day
Come on, say it!
Around the world in a day
Say papa, I think I wanna dance!

(In summer she’s sweeter)

Around the world in a day {repeat}
Oh yeah!
All the little babies sing around the world
A government of love and music boundless in its unifying power
A nation of art 2 production
Sharing ideas, a shower of flowers
All the little babies sing around the world
Sing it 4 your man, sing it 4 your girl
All the little babies sing around the world

Baby, baby, darling, why, why?
Where?
Lisa, Lisa?

The Dance Electric

Good morning children
Take a look out your window
Our world is falling
It's almost time 2 go

(Dance)

Dance the Dance Electric
The rhythm is love and love is blind
Love your enemies
There isn't much time, there isn't much time

Look - our world is falling
A rhythm-less house of blinded prophecy
Hear our Master calling
This isn't what He wanted us 2 be

We got 2 dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
Come on and dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

Don't - it don't make U happy
2 give another someone your own smile
Dance the dance electric
Never mind your hatred, try a brand new style

Dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
U got 2 dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

We... love... all... enemies

Look - U're livin' in Babylon
Makin', but not feelin' love at all
When your youth is gone, when it comes 2 dawn
A light of truth will shine and U will fall

That's why U got 2 dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
U got 2 dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

See the light inside of us
U're stuck in living, livin' life as bad
Whatever U do, don't U let your life go without my love
It's the only life that U will ever have

Why don't U (dance) dance the Dance Electric?
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
Why don't U dance the Dance Electric?
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go (almost time 2)

Dance the Dance Electric
Listen 2 the rhythm of your soul
Come on and dance the Dance Electric
We better love each other, it's almost time 2 go

High Fashion

(1, 2 )
St. Paul
Let's talk about this little High Fashion dame
U take the low and I'll take the high
Let's ride

I know a sexy little girl
She's never in a low class world
This woman is all the way vogue
High Fashion is where her money goes
She dines at Le Dome up on the strip
Cheap liquor never touches her lips
Her brandy's imported every week
No problem, 7000 easy

High Fashion is where her money goes
High Fashion - this girl is all the way vogue
She's never in a low class world
High Fashion - stuck up little rich girl
[Skee wee] {x3}

I met her dancin' at Le Dome
I offered dinner at my home
She said no, all of her friends laughed
Funny how the laughin' stopped when I flashed all the cash I had
$1900 - 2 much cash 2 hold
One of my boys had 2 carry half, now U know that's bold
Wait a minute, mm!
She had the nerve 2 ask what kinda car I had
"Honey, I'm ridin' in back of a Rolls Royce limo custom-painted plaid!"

High Fashion is where my money goes (It's where my money goes)
High Fashion - Honey, I'm all the way vogue (All the way vogue)
I'm never in a low class world (In a low class world)
High Fashion - And I just love little rich girls (She, ohh yeah yeah)
[Skee wee] {x2}

Hot station - I took the child 2 my crib
Donation - Do U take or do U give?
She took one look at the swimmin' pool
Said "I donate" - We were 2 swimmin' fools

High Fashion that's where our money goes
High Fashion, huh, we're all the way vogue
We're never in a low class world
High Fashion - don't be a little stuck up rich girl

Say all the way vogue {x3} ([Skee wee] {x3})
Listen now

(High Fashion) {repeat}
(All the way vogue) {repeats in BG}

Do U take?

Manic Monday

6 o'clock already, I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late cuz then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when U wish your bed was already made

CHORUS:
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
Cuz that's my fun day
My "I don't have 2 run" day
It's just another manic Monday

Have 2 catch an early train, got 2 be 2 work by 9
If I had an airplane, I still couldn't make it on time
Cuz it takes me so long just 2 figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train, but the boss is already there

CHORUS

All of the nights, why did my lover have 2 pick last night 2 get down?
(Last night we got down)
Doesn't it matter that I have 2 feed the both of us? Employment's down
But when he tells me in his bedroom voice
"Come on, honey, let's go make some noise," what he says
Time, it goes so fast (when U're having fun)

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
Cuz that's my fun day
It's just another manic Monday

Miss Understood

Now that I'm a woman
I'm always dreaming of romance
I'm always dreaming about the perfect man
Who'd take me in his arms and understand, understand me

My name is Miss Understood
I'm just a girl who wants true love like anyone would
I'm Miss Understood
Isn't there a man who understands me?

He picked me up at midnight (Oh)
When all the town was fast asleep
We danced 4 the man in the moon above
Understanding's cheap when U fall in love, fall in love

Just call me Miss Understood
I'm just a girl who wants true love like anyone would
I'm Miss Understood
Isn't there a man who understands me?

I want a lover that can satisfy the hunger of my lonely heart
Gotta have a lover with a PhD in undercover art

Now that I'm a woman
I'm always looking 4 romance (Romance)
I'm always looking 4 the perfect man
Who'd take me in his arms and understand, understand me

Just call me Miss Understood
I'm just a girl who wants true love like anyone would
I'm Miss Understood
Isn't there a man who understands...

Miss Understood
I'm just a girl who wants true love like anyone would
I'm Miss Understood
Isn't there a man who understands...

I'm just a girl who wants true love like anyone would
I'm Miss Understood
