Summer of Sam Lyrics

[Post-Chorus]
I be murderin' and murderin' 'em
I be murderin' and murderin' 'em


[Verse 2]
Like the summer of Sam, back in '69
I'll be tying them up, and hang 'em out to dry
'Cause I'm hot like that when I walk, they die
I be murderin' and murderin' 'em

Like the summer of love back in '69
When I get on the microphone my, my
They be looking at each other like ay, ay, ay
Bye, bye

[Pre-Chorus]
Please excuse m-my vivacity
Capacity for head games
Is incredible
It's better if you stay away from me
I know it's hard, hard to stay far, far away from me
I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please don't touch
But boy, step away from me

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keepin' it fresh on the e-east side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in touch, your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby, I'm a dangerous girl
Baby, you should stay away from me

[Post-Chorus]
I be murderin' and murderin' 'em, happily
Murderin' and murderin' 'em, ah-ah
Murderin' and murderin' 'em


[Bridge]
I'm diggable, predicatable
No, everyone knows all my people
I'll give you a fistful
You know you'll be in a fight
Unmissable, invincible, behavior is despicable
If you're lookin' for fun you can come out with me tonight

I am the baddest girl in NYC
I am the baddest, ya liking what you see? Yup!

[Chorus]
Baby, I'm a cinnamon girl
Keepin' it sweet on the far east side
Baby, I'm a tenement girl
Keepin' it in touch, your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Honey, I'm a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me
