Lyrics:
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
we don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn
burn motherfucker, burn
Hello my name is Jimmy Pop and i’m a dumb white guy
i’m not old or new but middle school fifth grade like junior high
So I don’t know mofo if ya’ll peeps be buggin
givin props to my ho cuz shes fly
but i can take the heat cuz i’m the other white meat known as kid funky
fried
ya i’m hung like planet pluto hard to see with the naked eye
but if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don’t shine
ya i’m kinda like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie
i’m the root of all thats evil ya but you can call me cookie
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
we don’t need no water just let the motherfucker burn
burn motherfucker, burn
yo, yo, this hardcore ghetto gangster image takes alot of practice
i’m not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is
so if man is five and the devil is six, then that must make me seven
this honkie’s gone to heaven
but if I go to hell, well then I hope I burn well
I’ll spend my days with J.F.К, Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawerence Welk
and Кurт Cobain, Коjак, Mark Twain, and Jimmy Hendrix’s poltergeist
and Webster ya Emmanuel Lewis cuz he’s the anti-christ
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
we don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn
burn motherfucker, burn
ooh ooh, c’mon party people
ooh ooh, wave your hands in the air
ooh ooh, c’mon party people
ooh ooh, wave em like ya don’t care
ooh ooh, c’mon party people
ooh ooh, everybody say ho
ooh ooh, c’mon party people
ooh ooh, everybody here we go
