Here I Come Lyrics

[Intro]
Shoodilley-wop, shoodilley-woop, ooh woh ooh
Eeh-ooh, eeh-ooh
Ooh-eeh-ooh
Shoodilley-waddliley-diddley-diddley woh-oh-oh
Zeen!

[Verse 1]
On the intercom, Rosie tell me to come
Say, she didn't have a daughter, she did have a son
She said: "The lift doesn't work, run up the stairs and come
And if you don't come quick, you're not gonna know that son"
So I grabbed a bunch of rose, and I started to run
Here I come (woh-oh-oh)
Two months later, she said: "Come and get your son
'Cause I don't want your baby to come tie me down
And because you are old, and I am young
Yes, while a me young, yes, I wanna have some fun"
Run me down
Shoodilley-waddliley-diddley-diddley woh-oh-oh, swing

[Hook]
I'm broad, I'm broad
I'm broader than Broadway
Yes, I'm broad, I'm broad
I'm broader than Broadway

[Verse 2]
When you go to Volcano, it’s like a stage show
You have men that sing, DJ and blow
Put it on the radio (Put it on the radio)
Eeh-oh-eeh-oh-oh, swing

[Verse 1]
On the intercom, Rosie tell me to come
Say, she didn't have a daughter, she did have a son
She said: "The lift doesn't work, run up the stairs and come
And if you don't come quick, you're not gonna see your son"
So I grabbed a bunch of roses and I started to run
Here I come (woh-oh-oh)
Two months later, she said: "Come and get your son
'Cause I don't want your baby to come tie me down
And because you are old, and I am young
Yes, while a me young, yes, I wanna have some fun"
Run me down
Shoodilley-waddliley-diddley-diddley woh-oh-oh, swing

[Bridge]
Extra size, extra size
Extra sizer than sizeway
Extra broad, extra broad
Extra broader than Broadway

[Refrain]
On the intercom, Rosie tell me to come
'Cause she didn't have a daughter
'Cause she did have a son
Here I come (here I come)
Shoodilley-waddliley-diddley-diddley woh-oh-oh, swing

[Hook]
'Cause I'm broad, I'm broad
I'm broader than Broadway (zeen)
Yes, I'm broad, I'm broad
I'm broader than Broadway
Over the ocean and over the sea
All of the girls dem all pose for we (ooh-whee)
Shoodilley-waddliley-diddley-diddley woh-oh-oh, swing

[Verse 1]
On the intercom, Rosie tell me to come
Say, she didn't have a daughter, she did have a son
She said: "The lift doesn't work, run up the stairs and come

So I grabbed a bunch of roses and I started to run
