"If you ain't got no plaques take yo' broke plate home
You say: If you ain't got no plaques take yo'broke plate home
S-E-A-P-H-A-G-E-S, yeah S-E-A-P-H-A-G-E-S
We flying the first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' M.smeg.
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I won't change
For the glamorous, oh infecting bacteria, bacteria."
