| Pretty Fly (For a White Guy) |
Performed By: The Offspring
From the album: "Americana" (1998)
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say
I'm pretty fly for a white guy
You know it's kind of hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's, so
Hey, hey do that brand new thing
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly
For a white guy
He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube, so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lilly ass
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's, so
Hey, hey do that brand new thing
Now he's getting a tattoo
Yeah he's getting ink done
He asked for a 13
But they drew a 31
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind he's the
He's the dopest trip
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby
Uh huh, uh huh
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's, uh...
The world loves wannabe's, so...
Let's get some more wannabe's and
Hey, hey do that brand new thing
