Lyrics
The Chipmunks:
This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital
To rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky is the title, here we go
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, (come on, y'all) it's tricky (tricky), tricky
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, (put your hands up), tr-tr-tr-tricky (tricky), trrrrrrricky
I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly
Went to her house and bust her out, I had to leave real early
These girls are really crazy (what'd ya say?) , all they just say is please me
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said "It's not that easy"
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, (how is it A?) it's tricky (tricky) tricky (trrrrrricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, tricky (tricky) tricky
In New York the people talk and try to make us rhyme
They really hawk but we just walk because we have no time
And in the city it's a pity 'cause we just can't hide
Tinted windows don't mean nothin', they know who's inside
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, (how is it A?) it's tricky (tricky) tricky (trrrrrricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, tricky (tricky) tricky, tricky, huh!
When I wake up people take up mostly all of my time
I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' 'cause I make up a rhyme (heya)
I'm not braggin', people naggin' 'cause they think I'm a star (mhm)
Always tearin' what I'm wearin', I think they're goin' too far
A girl named Betty follows Derry every gig we play (woo hoo)
Then he dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' Jay (yo, yo, yo)
I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' cos I'm on TV
They even bother my poor father cos he's down with me, yo
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, trick, trick, trick, tricky (tricky), tricky (tricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on time
It's tricky, tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky (tr-tr-tr-tricky) tr-tr-tr
We are not thugs we don't use drugs but you assume on your own
They offer sweets and lots of treats but we just leave it alone
It's like that (y'all) y'all, but we don't quit
You keep on rock, shock, 'cause this is it
