CHORUS:
The roof the roof the roof is on fire (x3)
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 y'all peeps be buggin' give props to my ho cause she all fly
But I can take the heat cause I'm the other white meat known as 'Kid Funky Fried'
Yeah 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
'Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie
I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but you can call me cookie

CHORUS.

Yo yo this hard-core ghetto gangster image takes a lot 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 than that must make me seven
This honkey's gone to heaven
But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well
I'll spend my days with J.F.K. Marvin Gaye Martha Raye and Lawrence Welk
And Kurt Cobain Kojak Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist
And Webster yeah Emmanuel Lewis 'cause she's the anti-christ

CHORUS.

Everybody here we go oh oh
C'mon party people oh oh
Throw your hands in the air oh oh
C'mon party people oh oh
Wave 'em like you don't care oh oh
C'mon party people oh oh
Everybody say ho oh oh
C'mon party people oh oh
Everybody here we go

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary (Mary Mary) (x2)
And does she wanna give me kicks and be my steady chick
And give me pick of memories (memories memories)
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations
No one ever sees (ever sees ever sees)
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks whose sickness
Is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes
At who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary (Mary Mary) (x2)
And does she wanna set them free and let them see reality
From where she got her name (got her name got her name)
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch of hers
Will make them not the same (not the same not the same)
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch

And when the morning of the warning's passed the gassed and flaccid kids
Are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone the songs have left been sung
And hung upon the scars

And then along comes Mary (Mary Mary) (x2)
And does she wanna see the stains the dead remains of all the pain
She left the night before (night before night before)
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make them realize
Their urgent cry for sight no more (sight no more sight no more)
When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
REPEAT 6 TIMES
Sweet as the punch
