[Chorus]
And this was supposed✦ to be my first single (*burp*)
But I just fucked✦ that up, so
Fuck it, let's all have fun, let's mingle (*burp*)
Slap a bitch and smack a ho
This was supposed✦ to be my catchy✦ little jingle (*fart*)
That you hear on your radio✦
But shit's about✦ to hit the shingle (*fart*)
Oh, oh-oh-oh,✦ oh-oh-no,✦ erra✦
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh, ah, erra✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh-oh-ah-ah✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh, ah, erra✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ poo-poo-ka-ka✦
[Verse 2]
Eri-Eri-Erick swallowed some generic sleeping pills
And woke up in bed next to his best friend Derrick, bare-naked
Jig-a-jig-ji-ji-Janean just turned✦ sixteen and used✦ a fake ID
To sneak in VIP to see R. Kelly✦
Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee✦ to be so young and naïve
Oh, what I wouldn't give to live so Kim and carefree✦
Paris✦ and Nicky's parents must be so tickled, they cherish
Every✦ picture with their kids with hickeys all over✦ their necks
Hickory-dickory Dirk Diggler, look at me work wizardry
With these words – am I a jerk or just jerk chicken?✦
Or chiga-chigga-chig-chig-jer-chig-jer jerkin'✦ your chain
Twenty-two jerks in a jerk circle, or is it a circle jerk?
Wait a minute,✦ what am I sayin'? Allow✦ me to run it back
And rewind✦ it {blblblblblblblb} – wait, let me ask you again✦
Am I just jerkin'✦ your chain? Am I berserk or insane?✦
Or am I just one of them damn amateurs workin'✦ the dang
Cameras, filmin'✦ one of them Paris✦ Hilton✦ homemade
Pornos, who keeps tiltin'✦ the lens at an angle
Jigga-ji-just recently somebody just discovered
Britney and Justin✦ videotapes of 'em fuckin'✦
When they was just Mouseketeers in the Mickey✦ Mouse Club
And dusted✦ 'em and went straight to The Source with 'em
'Cause they could've sworn someone✦ said, "Ni—"
And then tried to erase✦ and record over✦ it
But if you listen✦ close enough to it you can hear the
"Ga-hu"✦ and then they come to
Find out it was Justin✦ sayin', "I'm gon—nuh cum!"
[Chorus]
And this was supposed✦ to be my first single (*burp*)
But I just fucked✦ that up, so
Fuck it, let's all have fun, let's mingle (*burp*)
Slap a bitch and smack a ho
This was supposed✦ to be my catchy✦ little jingle (*fart*)
That you hear on your radio✦
But shit's about✦ to hit the shingle (*fart*)
Oh, oh-oh-oh,✦ oh-oh-no,✦ erra✦
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh, ah, erra✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh-oh-ah-ah✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh, ah, erra✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ poo-poo-ka-ka✦
[Verse 3]
Any✦ opinions or somethin' you just wanna✦ get off your chest
And address it about✦ my lyrics I'd love to hear it
All you gotta✦ do is pick up the phone and just dial up this number✦
It's 1-800-I'M-A-DICK-SUCKER-I'D-LOVE-TO-SUCK-A-DICK
And if someone✦ picks up
You can talk all the shit you want about✦ me
Just type in your number✦ back and follow✦ it by the pound key
And I'll be sure to get back as soon as there comes a day
That I fall out with Dre, wake up gay and make up with Ray (Hey!)
So fuck a chicken,✦ lick a chicken,✦ suck a chicken,✦ beat a chicken✦
Eat a chicken✦ like it's a big cock, big-a-big-cock!
Or suck a dick, and lick a dick, and eat a dick, and stick a dick in your mouth
I'm done, you can fuck off, fuck-a-fuck-off!
[Chorus]
And this was supposed✦ to be my first single (*burp*)
But I just fucked✦ that up, so
Fuck it, let's all have fun, let's mingle (*burp*)
Slap a bitch and smack a ho
This was supposed✦ to be my catchy✦ little jingle (*fart*)
That you hear on your radio✦
But shit's about✦ to hit the shingle (*fart*)
Oh, oh-oh-oh,✦ oh-oh-no,✦ erra✦
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh, ah, erra✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh-oh-ah-ah✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ oh, ah, erra✦
Oh, ah, erra,✦ poo-poo-ka-ka✦ (*burp*)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse prioritizes sonic absurdity and phonetic play over coherent lyrical narrative, utilizing 'scat' rap and infantile sound effects to mirror the meta-commentary of a 'failed' single.

Rhyme Architecture: Extremely dense, rhyme-heavy structure centered on rapid-fire internal triplets and multi-syllabic strings, often sacrificing grammatical sense for phonetic consistency.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Hickory-dickory Dirk Diggler"

① A reference to the nursery rhyme 'Hickory Dickory Dock', implying childhood regression.② A reference to the protagonist of 'Boogie Nights', linking the nursery rhyme to the adult film industry via alliterative play.

"Kim and carefree"

① A play on the phrase 'come and carefree' (living without worry).② A reference to Kim Mathers, grounding the absurdity in the artist's personal history of volatile relationships.

High-level technical execution of rhyme density

Effective use of delivery to emphasize the 'unhinged' persona

Dynamic cadence shifts between rapid triplets and drawn-out comedic sounds

Lacks depth in metaphor or thematic substance

Deliberately abrasive content limits replayability and message cohesion

Over-reliance on shock value over lyrical intelligence
