What's up? It's Pickles. Leave a message.
Hey, I'm calling you back.
Oooh, she's been a bitch tonight.
And by bitch I mean this rain; no cab, nowhere.
So I had to put on the wig, and the heels
And the lashes, and take the train, to the club
And you know the MTA should stand for:
Mother-fuckers Touching My Ass
So then I get to the club
Looking like a drowned, harassed rat
And I'm greeted, not by Miss Rose at the door
But our friend, Johnny Five-O
Yes honey, the NYPD shut down the party
No ? for me, I don't even know what's the tea
So I hope you're up girl
Because we are all coming over
Lock the doors, lower the blinds
Fire up the smoke machine and put on your heels
Cause I know exactly what we need

Let's have a kiki, I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors, tight
Let's have a kiki, motherfucker
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve, and work and turn
And h-h-honey

A kiki is a party, for calming all your nerves
We're spilling tea, and dishing just deserts when they deserve
And though the sun is rising, few may choose to leave
So...

Let's have a kiki, I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors, tight
Let's have a kiki, motherfucker
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive,, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve, and work and turn
And h-h-honey

Oh, what a wonderful kiki
This kiki is marvelous

(Work it girl, very liberty, eww, you know girl
We were sitting back here just having a kiki)

(Kiki, so-so, we-we, no-no)
(Kiki, so-so, we-we, no-no)
(Kiki, so-so, we-we, no-no)
(Kiki, so-so, we-we, no-no)

Let's have a kiki, I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors, tight
Let's have a kiki, motherfucker
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve, and work and turn
And h-h-honey

Let's have a kiki, I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors, tight
Let's have a kiki, hunty, drop her
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Boots, turn, queen
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve, and work and turn
And h-h-honey
