In the club, they play my song, which is why I sometimes go... The sheet is flying away
People everywhere spreading rumors across the place I know (The sheet is flying away)
The buffaloes are at the bar, at the bar, at the bar, just standing there... The sheet is flying away
This man sees a lady that he would like to hang out somewhere (The sheet is flying away)

He says "Know your role, shut your mouth, humiliate me and I'm outta here!"

He grins at me like a radiator and he reminds me of James Brown (The sheet is flying away)
He asks me "When did you start listening to R&B all along?"
He tries to talk to me full-throttle, but I reply very carefully
"I grew up listenin' to jazz and funk, I'm gettin' really sick on Mozart." (The sheet is flying away)
The DJ runs another playlist, the music ecstatifies like a spark
I want to say something else, long as I stand, a pretty young lady comes to me

She says "Know your role, shut your mouth, humiliate me and I'm outta here!"

[instrumental]

Some people shake and squirm, going like "Squbidububabeludidudum." (The sheet is flying away)
While others fear an ear rape by a certain drum beat that comes off dumb (The sheet is flying away)
The buffaloes standing at the bar, at the bar, at the bar, what are they doing here? (The sheet is flying away)
(Baby) Do it!
(Shake it) Do it!
Yes, I'm flying away

Nobody wants to be home alone, the party's all there, but that's not true
I say "Know your role, shut your mouth, humiliate me and I'm outta here!"
