Lyrics
I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back
Pair a khaki pants with my shoe shined black
Got a little lady, walk the street
Tellin' all the boy that she cain't be beat
Twenny dollah bill, I can set you straight
Meet me onna corner boy'n don't be late
Man in a suit with a bow-tie neck
Wanna buy a grunt with a third party check
Standin' onna porch of the Lido Hotel
Floozies in the lobby love the way I sell:
HOT MEAT
HOT RATS
HOT CATS
HOT RITZ
HOT ROOTS
HOT SOOTS
HOT ZITZ
