Verse 1

I seen ya lately, hangin' out in hollywood

Chorus

I dig ya baby, i'd samba wich ya if i could
(You could? you could?)
But I'm austrakie, i nowhere near yr neighbourhood

In the chorus, the singer repeats his admiration, emphasizing his feelings. The playful back-and-forth with the “You could? you could?” adds a fun twist. It’s like he’s playfully questioning his own chances. Then, he acknowledges his distance, he's from Australia.

Verse 2

See that lady she so fine
She put shiver in your spine
She know how to bump & grind
She so cool & so refined
