Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

You know it's kind of hard just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool but he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue, and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial

So don't debate, play it straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
So hey, hey do that brand new thing

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)

He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube so he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice they're gonna kick his lily ass

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabes
So hey, hey do that brand new thing

Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah, he's gettin' ink done
He asked for a "13" but they drew a "31"
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind, he's the, he's the dopest trip

Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Give it to me baby, a-ha, a-ha!
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
The world loves wannabes
So let's get some more wannabes
And hey, hey do that brand new thing!
