Lyrics[Verse 1]
Mucho gusto, me llamo Bradley
I’m hornier than Ron Jeremy
And if you wanna get popped in your knee
Just wipe that look off your batty face
You hate me 'cause I got what you need
A pretty little daughter that we call, "Mexi"
If you wanna get beat physically
It will be over in a minute if ya...
So, she told me to come over and I took that trip
And then she pulled out my mushroom tip
And when it came out, it went, drip-drip-drip
I didn’t know she had the G.I. Joe kung-fu grip
[Chorus]
And it went, "uh", and the girl caress me down
"Uh", and that’s that loving sound
And it went, "uh", and the girl caress me down
"Uh", and that’s that loving sound

[Verse 2]
When I kiss Mexi, she makes me feel horny
'Cause I’m the type of lover with the sensitivity
When she kiss my neck and tickle me fancy
She give me the right kind of lovin on' Sunday morning
En otro lado, es donde viví
Con mijita, que se llama, "Mexi"
Y su hermana, sí me quiere
Y ahorita, tenemos un bebé
Sus padres, sus tíos, me trataron matar
But they did not get too far
Un poco después tuve que regresar
Con un chingo de dinero, 'cause you know I’m a star
Yo fui a Costa Rica para tomar y surfear
Platicaba con la raza, 'cause they know who we are
Si no me dió cuenta than I bet you never will
You must be a muñeca if you’re still standing still

[Chorus]
And we ball, "uh", the girl caress me down
"Uh", and that’s the loving sound
We go, "uh", and the girl caress me down
And that’s the loving sound

Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock
Pero la cosa que me gusta más, es panochita
Pon la nalga en el aire if you know who you are
Pon la nalga en el aire, empieza gritar
No tenga miedo, I’m your papí
Take your chones y los manden a mí
Levanta, levanta, tienes que gritar
Levanta, levanta, tienes que bailar

[Chorus]
Because, "uh", the girl caress me down
"Uh", and that’s the loving sound
"Uh", and the girl caress me down
That’s the loving sound
"Uh", caress me down
"Uh", that's the lovin' sound
"Uh", and the girls caress me down
That’s the loving sound
