| Went to a party in West L. A
|
| Wanna learn a new dance, that’s what you say
|
| Well, here’s a new dance that can’t be matched
|
| So just step to the floor and do the Cabbage Patch
|
| When I got to the party, it was half past 9
|
| Cold rockin' to the rhythm a B-boy's rhyme
|
| When I stepped to the floor it was a total wreck
|
| 'Cause I tried to do The Wop and almost broke my neck
|
| Now when I got to the party, all the girls went nuts
|
| 'Cause I was jammin' to the DJ’s cut (Say what?)
|
| Word up, it was a trip, oh yes indeed
|
| Hurt my back when I tried to bust the Centipede
|
| Then I stepped off the floor just to keep my respect
|
| Saw my homie Dr. Dre cold rubbin' his neck
|
| He said, there’s a new way that’s right and exact
|
| So we made this dance called the Cabbage Patch
|
| Now it’s easy to do, only done by a few
|
| So just pay close attention to the Wreckin' Cru
|
| You don’t need fresh clothes or a pretty face
|
| You just need hella beat with a so-so bass
|
| Now my name is Dr. Dre, and I’m Shakespeare
|
| And we’re about to put the Cabbage Patch dance in gear |
| So if you wanna learn the dance, then you should not miss
|
| 'Cause it goes a little something like this…
|
| If you didn’t see it, here’s what you do
|
| Just listen up close and we’ll explain to you
|
| 'Cause the Cabbage Patch dance is only for fresh kids
|
| But they have to know exactly what time it is
|
| You move your left shoulder up and the right one down
|
| And if you wanna get ill, try to turn it around
|
| You have to move your feet too, that’s what I said
|
| But they have to syncopate with the moves of your head
|
| When you got the dance right, then you will know
|
| 'Cause your body will sweat and your face will glow
|
| And if you try another dance then you’ve got nerve
|
| 'Cause any other dance is to the curb (Yeah, it is)
|
| It’s the Cabbage Patch dance and it’s from L. A
|
| It started with Shakespeare and my main man Dre
|
| And with Lonzo here we only need one more
|
| That’s my mellow Yella man 'cause he completes the four
|
| It’s the Wreckin' Cru y’all from the T-O-P
|
| Gonna do it like this 'til we’re B-I-G
|
| Shakespeare and Dr. Dre gonna rock it like this |
| Giving good vibrations just like Sunkist
|
| Donovan’s in the place, he’s the engineer
|
| Gonna try to make the cut sound crystal clear
|
| When he pumps the bass up, your eardrums swell
|
| From the three kick drums out the SP-12
|
| So right about now it’s time to get into it
|
| The Wreckin' Cru is gonna show you how to do it
|
| So get on the floor and take a chance
|
| And bust a fresh move called the Cabbage Patch dance
|
| While you’re rockin' to the Big Beat drum
|
| Let us take a minute out and tell you where we’re from
|
| It’s the West Coast city that they call L. A
|
| That’s sunny California where the ballers play
|
| If you’re not from here, I’ma let you know
|
| That we never ever have to worry 'bout no snow
|
| So just hit Venice Beach and put your mind at ease
|
| 'Cause it’s the middle of the winter and it’s 80 degrees
|
| Cruisin' down Crenshaw with your top pulled back
|
| Cold rockin' to the beat of the Cabbage Patch
|
| Got a compact disc that’s top of the line
|
| 12-inch EB’s and a fresh Alpine
|
| With the fresh Air Jordans and a Fila shirt
|
| Headed to your homie’s house 'cause it’s time to do work |
| So then I called him on the phone to tell him I was near him
|
| Had to cut the sounds down so that I could hear him
|
| The last song we did was called «The Fly»
|
| Didn’t quite hit, let me tell you why
|
| When we cut the song it sounded great
|
| Went to CBS, got stuck in red tape
|
| Held us up, kicked us in the butt
|
| So we said «Forget it, fire up Kru-Cut»
|
| Picked up a group and we were on our way
|
| Fresh homeboys called C.I.A |
