Extra, extra, do you understand me? Well, if you don't don't reprimand me Well, I wish I could tell it to you another way But I'm telling you the only way that I know how Do you dig it? [Verse 2] Extra, extra, have you read about me? Well, they I stick out my tongue Quite lecherously Well, I really don't know what they're talkin' about I just can't seem to keep my tongue in my mouth That's all, folks! Extra, extra, do you understand me? Well, if you don't how can you like me? Well, all I can say is it's such a shame It really is a pity that you can't get into me I don't care [Verse 3] Hey now!
