Oh yeah, oh yeah

You know life is all about expression

You only live once, and you're not coming back

So express yourself, yeah

Express yourself, you gotta be you and only you, babe

Express yourself, and let me be me

Express yourself, don't tell me what I cannot do, baby

Come on and work your body

Now Joe wanna be like Bob

Bob got it goin' on with no job

And everything Rob got he got from Robin

And everything she got she got ho-hoppin'

My girl Jilly wanna be like Jackie

Fat rope chains and I think that's wick-wacky

Tom and Dick wanna be like Harry

Little do they know he's bitin' on Barry

Stan was a scam, but Vinnie's legit

Mercedes coupe hometroop with no kit

A businessman with a beeper for a reason

Not like Tim because it's in this season

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Hey Pep, you up next

Yes, I'm Pep and there ain't nobody

Like my body, yes, I'm somebody

No, I'm sorry, I'm-a rock this Mardis Gras

Until the party ends, friends

Yes, I'm blessed, and I know who I am

I express myself on every jam

I'm not a man, but I'm in command

Hot damn, I got an all-girl band

And I wear the gear, yeah, I wanna wear it, too

I don't care, dear, go ahead and stare (oooo)

Afraid to be you, livin' in fear (boo)

Expression is rare, I dare you

Oh yeah, oh yeah...

Yo, excuse us while we rap

Go ahead, girls, express yourself!

My party, your party, anytime drop in

Cold hip-hop is always rockin'

Don't you like it when the music drop

Jump, spread out, and stop?

Now bring in the go-go (uh-oh)

Look at how my butt go rock from left to the right

You wanna step to me, groove me

I know you wanna do me

Come on now, fellas, don't fight

At my door they're bum-rushin'

To hear the percussion

Sound of my go-go band

I've long ago learned my lesson

It's all about expression

Will the real Salt and Pepa please stand?

And...

Express yourself, you've got to be you, babe

Express yourself, and let me be me

Express yourself, don't tell me what to do, babe

Express yourself, come on and work that body

Express yourself, you've got to be you, babe

Express yourself, don't tell me what to do, babe

Express yourself, you've got to be you, babe

Express yourself, don't tell me what to do, babe

Express yourself, oh yeah, oh yeah

Express yourself
