[Intro]
Plasticman
This is the Plasticman
Listening to Plasticman
'Cause this is the Plasticman
J-m-e
And Plasticman
It's Plasticman
Spinning the Plasticman
Plasticman
Spinning the Plasticman
Plasticman
Spinning the Plasticman
Yo
Dance
[Verse 1]
It's not about shanks all the time
Grab a girl and skank from behind
Everybody thinks to MC good
Your lyrics must be about livin' in the 'hood
Causin a racket, causin a noise
Not enough females, too many boys
Just dance on your heel and toe
Dance 'till you get an A-S-B-O
[Break]
Put your hands at eye level
Elbows out, but be careful
Move 'em up and down with your knees
And lean forward 20 degrees
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
[Chorus]
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
[Verse 2]
Take a rest
Cause sweats coming through your dress
Gather all your friends and find
Your way to the bar, it's beverage time
Get drunk on Stellas, Red Stripes or the ones
With umbrellas
Don't worry if you can't drink more
Find your way back to the dancefloor
[Break]
Put your hands at eye level
Elbows out, but be careful
Move 'em up and down with your knees
And lean forward 20 degrees
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
[Chorus]
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
And move
And dance
[Verse 3]
Be careful who you chat to on the e-mail
It's a picture of a girl, but it's a shemale
I don't care if you're Samantha mumba
I still won't give out my number
Only if I see her chest and bumper live
Or on the web camera
If I want to, I'll give out my O2
If she's older, I'll give out my Voda
See I got bare phones, I take the mick
I still don't know what Facebook is
I'm messing about, talk to me
I'll be on MSN, about quarter to 3
It's Jamie, add my Hotmail
Girls on MSN think I'm a hot male
What, you think I can't get girls?
Haha, very funny, L-O-L
[Chorus]
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
I don't care what you think
If you can't dance, go have a drink
Plasticman's giving you the chance
Everybody please, shutup and dance
[Break]
Put your hands at eye level
Elbows out, but be careful
Move 'em up and down with your knees
And lean forward 20 degrees
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
And move to the beat
And dance
