Cuddle and be cute! [we even sleep together!]
The race is on to get out of the bottom
(The race is on to get away from Spice Girls)
The top is high so your roots are forgotten
(A metaphor for Geri's gigantic, overdyed hair)
Giving is good as long as you're getting
(That's dodgy)
What's driving you, it's ambition and betting
(And not talent)
I said, who do you think you are (who do you think you are?)
I said, who?
Some kind of superstar?
(This is a very ironic passage, really)
You have got to swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are?
(What does that mean?)
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
(Again, what does that mean?)
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are?
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
(Let's see how many words we can put 'it' after)
You're swelling out in the wrong direction
(This is Mel B criticising Emma's arse, I think)
You've got the bug, superstar, you've been bitten
(Ah. This is explaining why Spice Girls sell so much. People are bitten by Victoria)
Your trumpet's blowing for far too long
(Exactly my thoughts on you guys)
Playing the snake of the ladder but you're wrong
(What the fuck does that mean? I can't even think of a witty comment for that)
I said, who do you think you are (who do you think you are?)
I said, who?
Some kind of superstar?
(Hey, I could be a superstar if you guys could)
You have got to swing it, shake it, move it, make it
(Snake it, rake it, cake it, bake it)
Who do you think you are?
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
(Rust it, bust it, lose it, schmooze it)
Show me how good you are
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
(Lake it, take it, fake it, make it)
Who do you think you are?
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
(Just do it: Nike)
Show me how good you are
(Hey, I'm more talented than you lot)
You have got to reach on up
Never lose your soul
(Hrm. I'm not getting it. I thought you had to 'make me understand'?)
You have got to reach on up
Never lose control
(At least we now know that 'zigazig ah' and 'slam your body down and whine it all around' are not about losing control)
That chorus about twenty thousand times

If you get rid of the singing, this is a cool song. However, the singing showcases Geri's seeming lack of any musical ability.
