Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)
Rendered by the Offspring
(bold for chorus; italics for refrain)
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
And all the girlies say, I'm pretty fly for a white guy
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
You know it's kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool
But he takes it anyway
He may not have a clue
And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well, he makes up in denial!
So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, keep it real
For you, no way, for you, no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least, uh, you'll know you can always go on, Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
So, hey, hey, do that brand new thing!
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
And all the girlies say, I'm pretty fly for a white guy
He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto
He sees homies as pass
But if he looks twice, they'll gonna his lily a--!
So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, keep it real
For you, no way, for you, no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least, uh, you'll know you can always go on, Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
So, hey, hey, do that brand new thing
Now he's getting a tattoo, yeah
He's getting ink done
He asked for a "13"
But they drew a "31"
Friends say, he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's, uh, he's a dopest dip!
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Give it to me, baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis
So don't debate a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, keep it real
For you, no way, for you, no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least, uh, you'll know you can always go on, Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes, so
The world needs wannabes, so
Let's get some more wannabes
So, hey, hey, do that brand new thing
This song is particularly about someone who is imitating or being a wannabe, like a white guy trying to fit in with blacks. There are several characters in Sailormoon who are wannabes, but the most drastic example was Petunia(Minako) (side-by-side with Mimette) trying to be a leading lady to very famous star, even if it is against the Sailorettes' policy.
