A tweeter is a small speaker driver designed to reproduce high frequencies. Boll weevils are beetles that feed on cotton; they destroyed cotton fields throughout the American...
[Verse 1: Ikettes]
You're nothin' but a dirty, dirty old man
You do your thinkin' with a one-track mind
You keep preachin' 'bout heaven and glory
But on your face, it shows a different story
[Verse 2: Tina Turner]
Clean up your rep, your story's gettin' dusty
Wash out your mouth, your lies are gettin' rusty
I can't believe nothin' you say
'Cause I'm around and I see what you do
[Chorus: Tina Turner]
You know you're funkier than a mosquita's tweeter
You got a mouth like a herd of boll weevils
Same ol' game, you never change
Always rappin' 'bout the same ol' thing
[Verse 3: Ikettes]
Blowin' minds is the thing of the past
You blew your chance, that's why it'll never last
You wanna be a graduated lover
But in reality, you're just another brother
[Verse 4: Tina Turner]
You think you're slick, but you can stand a little greasin'
The things you do ain't never really pleasin'
I can't believe nothin' you say
'Cause I'm around and I see what you do
[Chorus: Tina Turner]
You know you're funkier than a mosquita's tweeter
You got a mouth like a herd of boll weevils
Same ol' thing, you never change
Always rappin' 'bout the same ol' thing
You know you're funkier
[Verse 5: Ikettes]
You put yourself upon a big stool
Nothin' worse than an educated fool
Talkin' sex is your favorite conversation
But peace and love is a famous generation
[Verse 6: Tina Turner]
What's in your head has really started showin'
Your conversation is gettin' kinda borin'
[Chorus: Tina Turner]
You're funkier than a mosquita's tweeter
You got a mouth like a herd of boll weevils
Same ol' thing, you never change
Always rappin' 'bout the same ol' thing
You know you're funkier than a mosquita's tweeter
You got a mouth like a herd
