[Chorus]
Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it
If you got a big [elephant], let me search it
To find out how hard I gotta work ya

[Verse 1]
I’d like to get to know ya, so I can show ya
Put the pussy on ya, like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I can phone ya
Your girl acting stank than call me yova
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
But before you come I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don’t or you will or you won’t cha
Go downtown and eat it like a vulcha
See my hips and my tips don’t cha
See my ass and my lips don’t cha
Lost a few pounds in my whiffs for ya
This the kinda beat that go bha ta ta
Ra ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta
Sex me so good I say blah blah blah
Work it, I need a glass of water
Boy oh boy its good to know ya

[repeat chorus]

[verse 2]
If you’re a fly gyal, then get your nose done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did
Boy lift it up, lets make a toasta
Lets get drunk, its gon bring us closa
Don’t I look like a HalleBerry posta?
See dem Belvedere playin tricks on ya
Girlfriend wanna be like me neva
You won’t find a bitch that’s even betta
I make it hot as Las Vegasweatha
Listen up close while I take you back
I’m not a prostitute but I can give you whatchu want
I love your braids and your mouth full of fonts [?]
Love the way my ass bump bump bump bump bump bump
Keep your eyes on my bump bump bump bump bump
And think you can handle this ga-dunk ga-dunk dunk
Take my thong off and my ass go boom
Cut the lights off so you see what I can do

[repeat chorus]

[verse 3]
Boys, boys, all type of boys
Black, white, Puerto Rican, Chinese boys
White like Antonio
Girls, girls, get that cash
If its not a foul shakin that ass
Ain’t no shame ladies, do your thang
Just make sure you ahead of tha game
Just cuz I got a lot of fame supa
Prince couldn’t get me change my name howpa

Picture black sand oh yes amassa
Picture Lil’ Kim dating a pastor
Minute man big red can outlast ya
Who is the best, I don’t have to ask ya
When I come out, you won’t even matta
Why you act dumb like ughhh, duh
So you act dumb like ughhh, duh
And the drummer boy go pa rum pum pum pum
Give ya some some some of this in a bun

[repeat chorus]

To my fellas,
Good God, I like the way you work that
[scratching]
To my ladies, woo
You sure know how to work that, good God

and i'm pretty sure she's getting her nails done - nose would've been funny but FUCK that nosejob shit!

It's "picture Black Sam Oh yesum massah" not black sand

It's "Picture blacks sayin' 'Oh yessah massah'".

I kinda figured the bit after "Chinese boys" was just "wai to taya to tai tai" in fake-o "asian" playground speak. Am I mishearing this?

is she saying that Kim is hooking up with Pastor Troy??

By the way, I just nabbed those lyrics from another message board.

yo I love this singele. It makes no type of sense, and that's why I love it so much!! I like her singles too, but she should come out with more singles like that more often. Yo big ups to her. Keep doing what your doing! ~ From the One And Only.... Lady Prophet out that MIA~

"is she saying that Kim is hooking up with Pastor Troy??"

Ha ha yes I immediately wondered this as well.

Give ya some some some of this in a bun

I always heard that as
Give ya some some some of this cinnabun

yeah me too H

OK seriously; when is this coming out?

what is Missy saying during the song? She says all throughout the song.Where can we get the lyrics to this song?

If I don't get an answer as to when this is coming out (it doesn't say on the Elektra website) or where I can here a full-length track online, my head's going to explode.

If you have a PC, download WinMX (http://www.winmx.com). You can find it very easily on there.

From what I've been told by a couple of people who were invited to a listening session, the entire upcoming album is just as good as "Work It."

Damn. Guess Missy really is on the slide then

;)

sean: it's still up on gabba/amp

there's a remix with 50 cent

y0 wad up yall stank azz hoz

If you’re a fuctup slut, then get your nose done
Get a pedicure, get your shit did
Boy bust it up, lets make a cona

doz rda isllest ryhmz y0 bitch HoLLa!i!i!i

Does anyone have the lyrics to this song?? post em up so i can write em down!!!!

Yeah, this is great, I was initially unimpressed, but it hit me today.

Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott - "Work It"

Lyrics:
DJ, please pick up your phone
I'm on the request line

This is a Missy Elliott one-time exclusive (Come on)

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette

I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya
Put the p**** on ya like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya
Your girl actin' stank then call me over
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don't or you will or won't ya
Go downtown and eat it like a vulture
See my hips and my tips, don't ya
See my a** and my lips, don't ya
Lost a few pounds and my whips for ya
This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Sex me so good I say blah-blah-blah
Work it, I need a glass of water
Boy, oh, boy, it's good to know ya

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette (Come on)

If you a fly gal get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did
Boy, lift it up, let's make a toast-a
Let's get drunk, that's gon' bring us closer
Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster
See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya
Girlfriend wanna be like me, never
You won't find a b**** that's even better
I make you hot as Las Vegas weather
Listen up close while I take it backwards
I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you
want
I love your braids and your mouth full of floss
Love the way my a** go bum-bum-bum-bum
Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
And think you can handle this gadong-a-dong-dong
Take my thong off and my a** go vroom
Cut the lights off so you see what I could do

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette (Come on)

Boys, boys, all type of boys
Black, white, Puerto Rican, Chinese boys
Why-thai,-thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai

Girl, girl, get that cash
If it's 9 to 5 or shakin' your a**
Ain't no shame, ladies do your thang
Just make sure you ahead of the game
Just 'cause I got a lot of fame supa
Prince couldn't get me change my name papa
Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir
Picture black sayin', "Oh, yes a master"
Picture Lil' Kim dating a pastor
Minnie Me and Big Ren can out last ya
Who is the best, I don't have to ask ya
When I come out you won't even matter
Why you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
So you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
As the drummer boy go ba-rom-pop-pom-pom
Give you some-some-some of this Cinnabun

If you got a big ***, let me search it

It's your fremme neppa venette
It's your fremme neppa venette (Come on)

To my fellas
I like the way you work that
To my ladies
You sure know how to work that

Be Happy~!

fremme neppa venette, eh?

Having finally heard this (I was busy catching up on other things) -- definitely good fun! But revelatory, no...not really. Why, I'm not sure, but I'm a touch surprised at all this explosion of sheer happy-hoohah over it. I actually like the arrangement on something like "Dirrty" better, though I've concluded that Ms. A actually gets more in the way of that song than I first realized.

Never said it was relevatory (beyond Missy producing a rap that actually has flow), just that the "good fun" factor was way above what you would think it would be.

Heard it a few days ago. Decent track, well produced. We've heard that Timbaland-type sound by now, but the same can be said for, say, the Neptunes, the Eiffel 65/Gigi d'Ag sound, Belgian poptrance, or the Live/Nickelback/Creed nu-grunge template, so that's not really a fault for this kind of music - it's no better or worse than any other recent pop track, I'd say. Pretty much on a par with, say, Las Ketchup or Scooter, in the sense that it's a nice mindless, nonsensical party track (although from rather different origins, obviously) we'll probably remember.

Oh, I'm not saying you were saying it was revelatory or whatever, Dan! I was just expecting my mind to be thoroughly blown rather than being merrily entertained based on a slew of the initial comments, and not just from you -- there was something in the tone that was telling me that! Siegbran's take strikes me as the best assessment -- maybe a month away from the initial impact helps. ;-)

(Taking sides: revelatory vs relevatory FITE!)

(I'm going to get a t-shirt made that says, "It's your fremme neppa venette")

See, I would buy this shirt and wear it proudly.

what does "fremme neppa venette" mean anywayz??????

It's this thing...

Isn't it something backwards? She does talk about reversing just before.

I think is "I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it" backwards, but it's much more entertaining to hear it as "It's your fremme neppa venette.")

I still think the one line is "Picture Black Sam" (as in Sambo).

"Iss not fermitted das why in yatum."

yeah a month later it has worn off, (just cos of the tedium beat which was the case abt the 2nd time i heard it) but "mindless nonsensical party tune" does it a HUGE disservice. you try getting some "conscious" blowhard to get some nonsense to sound that good...

as a electrifying taster it's still great, but are we 100% sure this is the forthcoming single anyway?

(cf why noreaga is a genius)

Hell, a couple weeks later it's worn down. But I still turn up the radion when it comes on.

this is the best song that has come out recently. it has a bangin beat and it great to dance to at the club.

they say that she says something backwards and really freaky when she says

Its your femme nepa venyakama

Missy's 'Street Team' were working Oxford Street yesterday! There was a woman with headphones, a DAT machine and a mic trying to get vox pops about something (I assume "Work It") - she was stopping people and going "Hey, you like Missy dont you?". I tried to catch her eye but failed because I do like Missy. "Missy who?" said the woman she was trying to interview.

I have scientifically confirmed when you take the backwards sample and make it play forwards she says "Orange Julius was better when it had an egg in"

Has anyone seen the video yet? That too is genius, if only for the bees and Prince.

AAAAAAARGH. I missed "Making The Video" last week. I NEED TO SEE IT.

You will love it, Dang! I guarantee.

PEOPLE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! IM NOT A HUGE MISSY FAN, BUT I DO LIKE THE SONG..BUT ISN'T OBVIOUS FOR ALL YOU "TRUE" FANS.......SOUND IT OUT..IT'S "I PUT THING DOWN FLIP IT AND REVERSE" BACKWARDS DON'T TRY TO SOUND IT OUT AS SEPARATE WORDS BUT ALL AS ONE WORD...........TRUST ME!!!!! reversdnapilfnwodgnihttupI (THE SMART ONES WILL GET IT~
