3-Way (The Golden Rule) Lyrics
Back in that ass
Yeah
Your mom says hi, jinx!
[Bridge: Andy Samberg & Justin Timberlake]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
A-y-y-yeah, a-y-y-yeah
A-y-y-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jam!
[Verse 1: Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, & Both]
Summertime in the city
And everybody's having sex
You know, I just got a page from a girl
That I met last week at the Payless (ShoeSource)
I also have a cutie to call
Who loves the way I knock on her boots
Well, it's time to mack, let's handle that
In two to six hours, we'll meet back and regroup
Now, let's shoop
Roll up to her crib with some Bartles and James
Hop off the bus with the Alizé
Now hold up, playa, what you diggity-doin' here?
I should diggity-ask you the same
Then she sang
Hey, boys, I want you both
I hope that you think that's cool (Say word?)
I know most guys won't freak together
But she forgot about the golden rule
Ah-ah-ah!
[Chorus: Andy Samberg & Justin Timberlake]
It's okay when it's in a 3-way
It's not gay when it's in a 3-way
With a honey in the middle, there's some leeway
The area's grey in a 1-2-3-way
[Verse 3: Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Andy & Justin, & (All)]
Normally, I don't get down with dudes
But tonight is a special exception (Great!)
See, you're my best friend through thick and thin
(Now it's time to make a triple connection)
Lights off!
[Verse 4: Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, & Andy & Justin]
Here in the dark (Here in the dark)
It's hard to tell (So hard to tell)
Where her body ends (La la)
And my homie's begins (Ooh-wee)
This rule dates back (The golden rule)
To Ancient Greece (Talking about Caesar)
We're two Jack Trippers and a Chrissy
The new Three's Company!
It's okay when it's in a 3-way
It's not gay when it's in a 3-way
With a honey in the middle there's some leeway
The area's grey in a 1-2-3-way
[Bridge: Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, & Lady Gaga]
Fellas, get ready
To impress a chick: helicopter dick, go!
Helicopter dick (Uh!), helicopter dick (Alright!)
To impress a chick, do the helicopter dick (Wow!)
[Chorus: Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, & Lady Gaga]
And all of that was okay, 'cause it was in a 3-way
It's quite clear when you see the instant replay
Maybe two is enough, that's what they'll say
But we'll say "Hell no," 1-2-3 way
[Outro: All & Andy Samberg]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The Golden Rule
About
Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake reprise their characters from Motherlover and Dick In A Box for the third installment. Here, after finding out they have been hitting on the same girl, they attempt to justify a male-female-male threesome as being ‘not gay’ due to the presence of a woman.
This track featured on The Wack Album.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
[Andy]
“3 Way” is the third in the “Dick In A Box” trilogy. Justin Timberlake and I get as those guys get ensnared on a [?] in Lady Gaga’s character, who’s kinda like a fly girl from “In Living Color.” Justin’s vocals were pretty atrocious, so I did all the heavy lifting.
[Jorma]
He’s just not talented
[Andy]
He’s not good, lotta autotune on him, on this one.
[Jorma]
Don’t tell anyone
[Andy]
Lotta autotune, lotta autotune. But yeah, it’s from that same school of super sexy R&B from the early 90s
[Jorma]
What we grew up listening to and loving
[Akiva]
It’s an homage
[Andy]
It’s an homage to the first two, that we already made
[Akiva]
Like the tip of our cap to ourselves.
[Andy]
The second in a row.
[Akiva]
And our selves from the past say “Thanks, thanks for showing respect to your elders.”
[Jorma]
Our present selves are like
[Akiva]
“You guys were the kings”
[Andy]
You guys did it. And we’re like, “Hey, if this is a third as good as that, we’ll be happy.”
[Akiva]
“Yeah, Cause your our heroes” and then us would be like “Hey, you kids are alright.”
[Andy]
Then we have sex with ourselves.
