Grandmaster Flash - Underarms Lyrics
Words: g.williams, l.dukes, n.glover music: l.smith, g.vaughn, g.williams arranged by: l.smith, j.saddler - 1987 from the album "ba-dop-boom-bang"Well you got a hot date and you wanna be flyThrow on a gucci blazer and a gucci tieNot a hair out of place,a freshly-shaved faceYou think you're walkin' out the house with style and grace(don't you)You pick up your girl and take her to dinner'cause when the night is over you think you're gonna win herThen you move real close using all your charmAnd then your girl says "baby guess that"(i smell your underarms)That odor,it's ringin' out loud and clear as a bellYou can't hear it because you're immune to the smellI describe your aroma as foul and patheticAnd they can use your odor as the latest anestheticNow i know that it's stone cold funk,i can tell'cause it's written all over by the way you smellThat funk the aroma,that smell,that scentYou'll be arrested for malicious body odor intentYour odor going 'round,doin' people bodily harmAnd then somebody turned around and said(i smell your underarms)You woke up late for work usin' the same old lineDon't think i'm gonna wash my underarms this timeThe more you ignore,the worse the smell growsAnd you pick out all clothes by using your noseIt was the rush hour when i was on the trainAnd the smell of underarms was drivin' me insaneIt was a sure-fire way of bringing me to my deathI couldn't hold a conversation,i was holding my breathAnd you cold see the funk just like a cloud in the airWas homeboy sittin' next to me,i swear!And when i saw the direction this girl was leaningYou could hear homebody's underarms just screaming(ugh.....)(i smell your underarms)Hanging at a party one night,all aloneSippin' on a bottle of dom perignonThe crowd was on the floor,rocking the beatSmelling like thay ain't bathed since last weekThe smell was all through the house,cold rockin' the placeThe funk fill the air like a fresh can of maceWhen you raised your hands i had to sound tha alarmA girl said "look,there's monster growin under his arm"We were so shocked we couldn't even run (uhgh)And they declared his arm public enemy number oneNow throw your hands in the air,if you want to party hardNow put your hands back down,everybody's,'causeYou didn't use right guard(i smell your underarms)
