Mucho gusto me llamo bradley I’m hornier than Ron Jeremy
And if you wanna get popped in your knee
Just wipe that look off your bati face
You hate me 'cause I got what you need
A pretty little daughter that we call mexi
If you wanna get beat physically, it will be over in a minute if ya
So she told me to come over and I took that trip
And then she pulled out my mushroom tip
And when it came out it went drip drip drip
I didn’t know she had that gi joe kung-fu grip

And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound

When I kiss mexi it makes me feel horny
Cause i’m the type of lover with the sensitivity
When she kiss my neck and tickle me fancy
She give me the right kind of love on Sunday morning

En otro lado es donde viví con mijita que se llama mexi
Y su hermana si me quiere
Y ahorita tenemos un bebé

Sus padres sus padres me trataron matar
But they did not get to far
Un poco después tuve que regresar
Con un chingo de dinero 'cause you know I’m a star

Yo fui a costa rica para tomar y sufear
Practicaba con la raza 'cause they know who we are
Sí no me dió cuenta than I bet you never will
You must be a muñeca if you’re still standing still

And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound

Me gusta mi reggae
Me gusta punk rock
Pero la cosa que me gusta más es panochita

Pon la nalga en el aire if you know who you are
Pon el nalga en el aire empieza gritar
No tenga miedo I’m your papí
Take your chones y los manden a mí

Levanta levanta tienes que gritar
Levanta levanta tienes que bailar

And it went uuh, and the girl carresed me down, uhh, and thats that loving sound
