oh yeah, oh yeah
you know life is all about expression
you only live once, and you´re not coming back
so express yourself, yeah

chorus
express yourself, you gotta be you and only you, babe
express yourself, and let me be me
express yourself, don´t tell me what i cannot do, baby
come on and work your body

now joe wanna be like bob
bob got it goin´ on with no job
and everything rob got he got from robin
and everything she got she got ho-hoppin´
my girl jilly wanna be like jackie
fat rope chains and i think that´s wick-wacky
tom and dick wanna be like harry
little do they know he´s bitin´ on barry
stan was a scam, but vinnie´s legit
mercedes coupe hometroop with no kit
a businessman with a beeper for a reason
not like tim because it´s in this season

chorus

oh yeah, oh yeah
hey pep, you up next

yes, i´m pep and there ain´t nobody
like my body, yes, i´m somebody
no, i´m sorry, i´m-a rock this mardis gras
until the party ends, friends
yes, i´m blessed, and i know who i am
i express myself on every jam
i´m not a man, but i´m in command
hot damn, i got an all-girl band
and i wear the gear, yeah, i wanna wear it, too
i don´t care, dear, go ahead and stare (oooo)
afraid to be you, livin´ in fear (boo)
expression is rare, i dare you

chorus

oh yeah, oh yeah...
yo, excuse us while we rap
go ahead, girls, express yourself!

my party, your party, anytime drop in
cold hip-hop is always rockin´
don´t you like it when the music drop
jump, spread out, and stop?
now bring in the go-go (uh-oh)
look at how my butt go rock from left to the right
you wanna step to me, groove me
i know you wanna do me
come on now, fellas, don´t fight

at my door they´re bum-rushin´
to hear the percussion
sound of my go-go band
i´ve long ago learned my lesson
it´s all about expression
will the real salt and pepa please stand?
and...

express yourself, you´ve got to be you, babe
express yourself, and let me be me
express yourself, don´t tell me what to do, babe
express yourself, come on and work that body

express yourself, you´ve got to be you, babe
express yourself, don´t tell me what to do, babe
express yourself, you´ve got to be you, babe
express yourself, don´t tell me what to do, babe

express yourself, oh yeah, oh yeah
express yourself
