I Like To Move It Move It

Me gusta mueve mueve
me gusta mueve mueve
San Jose to Baltimore get
your hands up in the air

first thing’s first
everything marvelous even this
poem pistachio ice cream
burnt umber summertime
electricity and oil Jesus

Christ says share the wealth
in a way I imagine James
Brown shrieks and says Hot Pants
