Ladies, & gentlemen... & lowlifes
It is with outstanding pleasure

To bow before his divine majesty

Well, it was one of those days -- not much to do
I was chillin downtown, with my old school crew
I went into a store -- to buy a slice of pizza
And bumped into a girl, her name was mona -- what?
Mona lisa (what?) *singing* mona lisa, so men made you..
Youknowhati'msayin? so i said, "excuse me, dear
My gosh, you look nice!
Put away your money
I'll buy that slice!"
She said, "thanks - i'd rather a slice of you
I'm just kidding, but that's awfully nice of you"
The compliment showed she had a mind in her
And when i smiled (ping!) i almost blinded her
She said, "great scott! are you a thief?
Seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth"
Ha-ha, hah! had to find that funny
So i said, "no child, i work hard for the money
And calling me a thief? please! don't even try it (right!)
Sit down eat your slice of pizza, & be quiet"
She almost got cut short -- you know, scissors
She tried to disrespect who?! the grand wizard
Me! "well what's your name, son?"
"mc ricky d," but not to be so harsh i said to mona li-hee
"i'm.. sorry & i know that's low class (uhh, yeah)
Please sit, & tell me a little about your past"
She said, "well i got courage, & i don't like porridge (uh-huh)
I've never been to college, but i've got crazy knowledge (uh-huh)
Over eighteen & my eyes are green (uh-huh)
I wear more gold than that man on a-team (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Trim, slim, (yeah) & i'm also light skinned
Best believe mona's a virgin"
A virgin?! honey needed a slap
She tried to tell me she's a virgin -- with her yea wide gap
I said, "it don't matter, see, i'm not picky (word)
Let me spell my name out for you, it's ricky:
R -- ravishing
I -- impress
C -- courageous; so careless
K -- for the kangols which i've got
That i wear everyday and
Y -- why not?
To fight's not right that i recite & i'm..
Quite polite like walter cronkite"
Well, just about then, trevor my friend came in
He said, "hey rick, don't you know playin with these snakes is a sin?!?"
He grabbed me by my shirt & pulled me right out the store
He said, "i don't want to see you playin with these lowlifes no more!
Now come along, we have a party to attend
With some real mature women & some more of her friends"
He hailed down a cab & he waited for a minute
And as the cab came, he thrusted me in it!
And as we were leavin & drivin along
I could hear a melody as mona sang a song
(excerpt from "walk on by" [d. warwick])
"if you see me walking down the street
And i start to cry.. each time we meet..
Walk on by.. walk on by..
Foolish pride
That's all that i have left, so, let me hide
The pain & the hurt that you gave me
When you said goodbye..
You walked on by.."
