[Danny:] Yo, Jordan! What's up?

[Jordan:] Hey Danny! What's happening?

Oh, here comes little Joey Joe down the street

[Joe:] Ho! What's happenin' fellas?

[Jordan:] Yo, there's Jon, but has anyone seen Donnie?

[Danny:] I don't know, but I thought I saw him walking towards the corner store.

[Joe:] Nah, he's at the park playing ball

[Jon:] Oh, here he comes now

[ad libbed greetings]

[Donnie:] Hey Guys!

[Danny:] Where have you been?

[Donnie:] Man, I've got a story to tell!

[All:] HIT IT!



[Donnie:]

Saw a homegirl at the corner store

Eyes started bugging, mouth fell to the floor

She had a miniskirt and a sexy pose

I tried to rap to her, but I just froze

Tell me now fellas, what can I do?

To make a girl like me, like a girl likes you?



[Danny:] Well Homeboy get ready!

[Joe:] 'Cause you want correcting

[Jordan:] 'Cause a girl needs love

[All:] And plenty of affection



[Jon:] If a girl were mine, I'd give her the world

I'd buy her diamonds and pearls just to make her my girl



[Jordan:] That might work with your girl, but not with mine.

She's not the type of girl to fall for any line



[Joe:] I'd take her out to dinner, treat her like a winner

I may be young, but I'm no beginner



[Danny:] All your ways are good, but not as good as mine

You have to be sincere for a girl that fine!



[Chorus ]

Baby, won't you please be mine?

Are you down?

Baby, won't you please be mine?

Are you down? HO!



[Danny:] Alright then, D., since you gave it a try

[All:] Tell us about the girl who caught your eye



[Donnie: ]

It was after school and I was feeling cool

'Til I saw that girl and I started to drool

So I thought to myself, take it easily

I couldn't let peer pressure get the best of me

I thought to myself, what should I do?

That's when she came up on me and said 'I love you'



[Donnie:] Who me?

[All:] Yeah, you!

[Donnie:] Couldn't be!

[All:] But it's true!



[Donnie:] So I rushed back home to tell you guys,

But not before I got a quick kiss goodbye!



[All:] Did you meet her friends?

[Donnie:] Yeah, they looked def.

[All:] Yo, that was fresh!

[Donnie:] Word! Let's go left.

[Jordan:] So here goes the keys

[Joe:] On which it depends

[Jordan:] She's got

[Joe:] One!

[Jordan:] Two!

[Danny:] Three!

[Jon:] Four!

[All:] Fresh girlfriends!



[Chorus ]



Are you down?

Are you down?

[repeat 5x]



[Chorus ]



Are you down?

Are you down?

[repeat]



[All:] Joey Joe!

[Joe:] Nimble and quick.

You have to be def to be down with my clique



[All:] Jon!

[Jon:]You know I've got the style

When I go into a party all the girls go wild



[All:] Danny D!

[Danny:] The prince! Make no mistake.

I'm the MC devistating. So cool and I break.(dance)



[All:] Don-nie! Donnie: That's me, don't give me no slack!

I get loose with the juice, 'cause I got it like that



[Ad lib stuff]



[Jordan:] Here we go!
