Skat Strut

MC Skat Kat: Well You've never seen a kat with so much charisma
Got More Moves than a mutant ninja— turtle that is
And I'm doing the Skat Strut
To hell with John Travolta and the Disco Duck

They call me Skat Kat, the dance floor maniac
One more of my hip is like an afro-disiac
Swingin’ and wingin’ I'm just doing my own thing
Girls don't jump me
Give me room to be funky

Step to the dance floor bust a little spin
(I thought I saw a putty kat, I did)
SHUT UP KID!!
This is a new dance so shake your butt
And get a load of what its like to be doing the Skat Strut

Now Jack was nimble and Jack was quick
But it was Skat Kat that made Jack trip
I burned him on the butt with a flick of my bic
And then I cold ran away with the candle stick
I've got all the right moves
Ladies think I'm loveable

Love to wine and dine sippin' on bubble
But most of all, I like dancing y'all
And doing my Skat Strut from wall to wall

It's as simple as it gets, just stick out your neck
Lift up your leg and step to the left
Now shake a little as you groove to the beat
--Bend over, shake your big booty

And if you get dizzy from shaking your butt
You must have shook the wrong end cuz you ain't doing
The Skat Strut (I though I saw a putty kat- I did, I did)
As we go a little something like this-- Hit it!!

Without a question, its the strut to fame
I can see myself now on the aisles of "Soul Train"
People want to know if its meant to be silly
I say only when it's done by Milli and Vanilli

The dance is mine a generation of felines
Mastered this step back in '69
Return of the Skat Strut a brand new dance

(I thought I) could but you can't-- BUST IT

Homeboy Fatz, Why don't you step up to the microphone
And give them a little taste of
Your beat box boy---

FATZ: Yo man, I've told you
I don't like nobody telling me what to do
Now I'm a beat-box, but I'm a do-it-my-way
Anybody got something to say?

Fatz can boogie...
Fatz can boogie...

MC Skat Kat: For those who don't know me,
My name is Skat
I'm the kat who did the rap in "Opposites Attract"
Me and Paula did a duo and then I went solo
To grab the microphone and make the ladies go ... HO!

And now that I've got you at my command
Its my sole opportunity to make you dance
I want all four paws on the dance floor
Do that strut until your legs are sore

Come on! Come on! Come on!
