The Shape I’m Takin’

You wanna beat it
But you're never gonna leave this town
In the jungle with a fever
Comes immediate crown
I'm alone with all my friends
Fireworks in a pussy den
Shakin' up that new West End
Don't get too close, my style bends
I'ma do my thing this time
Hudson River serpentine
Everything we overheard
Pizza's free on thirty-third and third, third, third

Don't you love me, baby?
The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter
Trouble funk is on the floor
Oh, my children
Don't you love me, baby?
The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco
Jungle's what they came here for

The beat is tricky
But you're never gonna move it around
You're dressin' up when
You really should be dressin' down
Gettin' on my one last nerve
Ring my bell on Dead Man's Curve
Pick it up, Jamaica, Queens
That super walk is so obscene
Gonna do your thing this time
East Side River, box of wine
Throw it up, it's time to serve
Pizza's free on thirty-third and third, third, third

Don't you love me, baby?
The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter
Trouble funk is on the floor
Oh, my children
Don't you love me, baby?
The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco
Jungle's what they came here for

You wanna beat it
But you're never gonna leave this town
You're dressin' up
You really should be dressin' down
In the jungle, fever comes immediate crown

Don't you love me, baby?
The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter
Trouble funk is on the floor
Oh, my children
Don't you love me, baby?
The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco
Jungle's what they came here for
