Party Doll is in the house with a big old mouth and butt to match,
\ndon\u2019t give me no trouble till you hear my rap.
\nI\u2019ll get you \u201cIn the Mood\u201d and we\u2019ll \u201cRock around the Clock\u201d cause I\u2019m \u201cToo Legit to Quit \u201c and you won\u2019t want to stop
\nI hate exercise, it makes me sweat, I\u2019d rather be dancing or on the net.
\nI\u2019m a Powerful Woman looking for a powerful man. My kids are grown, did what I can.
\nThey made me nuts with heavy metal and rap.
\nAll I ever wanted to do is take a nap.
\nBaseball, football, all kinds of sports, by the time they left I was all out of sorts.
\nI said I\u2019m getting rid of my man and the kids too, I\u2019m strutten my stuff, not livin in a zoo.
\nI\u2019m a Motown hippie, from the 60\u2019s generation. Give me that rock and funk and I\u2019ll give you a gyration.
\nThey think they\u2019re bad with their grunge and rap. I\u2019ll match them side by side and even put in a tap.
\nCause I\u2019m a rocker and a roller and a mean mother stroller.
\nDon\u2019t get in my way when I\u2019m doin my jive
\nCause I\u2019m still the hottest woman alive.
\nGive me those blues and I\u2019ll funk you to death, make your eyes roll over and you\u2019ll need a rest.
\nSo girls if you think your so cool now, just wait till your 50 then they open the door.
\nWhen you get pms you earned every bitch so let it rip.
\nGive your family an attitude and let them know that your hip.
\nLife is so smooth when you on MTV, you know that you\u2019ve made the grade.
\nI\u2019m tellin you girlfriend don\u2019t be so staid.
\nI\u2019m a powerful woman looking for a Powerful man, So if you measure up catch me if you can.<\/p>\n

I gotta big ol butt, who really cares, when you out in the world shakin all your wares.
\nEat your heart out people I\u2019ve done my duty, I\u2019ve cleaned those dishes and wiped that booty.
\nNow I don\u2019t do windows, in fact I don\u2019t do much, got me a young squeeze that I like to touch.
\nI don\u2019t mean to brag and I don\u2019t mean to boast but I got my inspiration from the holy ghost.
\nThey say \u201cHey Ms Deejay are\u2019nt you a little old to play? \u201d
\nHoney I was miss thang in my day.
\nI can still shake it to the left and shake it to the right, stick it up, stick it down, my moves are still tight, .<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a party doll that still loves the grooves.
\nC\u2019mon girlfriends, I\u2019ll get you in the mood.
\nSo grab that guy and and show what you got.
\n\u201d Baby got back\u2019 take it to the top.
\nCause I\u2019m a powerful woman looking for a powerful man, so If you measure up catch me if you can.<\/p>\n
