Swoon Units Lyrics - Reachin' (a New Refutation Of Time And Space) - Digable Planets

What's happenin' butterfly, what's happenin'? 

What's happenin' butterfly, what's happenin'? 

What's happenin' butterfly, yeah what's happenin'? 

What's up butterfly, what's happenin'? 

If it's swoon I can dig 

I peep out the flowers when they bloom, if you dig 

Sisters do their dips to our booms cause they dig 

Muslims add perfumes and the zoom be a dig 

I scoped out as a sprout then mamma said to dig 

The mind then the butt cause the drama ain't to dig 

Lovely little honeys in their crews is what I dig 

If they fake the fig it's the blues child dig 

{want some of my soda?} 

Fine they be mega, sexy they be ultra 

But don't enroll in pageants to get judged by the chauva's 

Crazy fly whips, baggy jeans and sneakers 

Silver hoops and jeeps, hip-hop in the speakers 

The gag rule is bunk, it's like chains on the rump 

We help to liberate through this butt-shaking funk 

Nikki giovanni and maya flamm 

With poems so I tried for the units, cause damn 

{all together} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

The units I know are the swoonest 

{the what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

I love it when I speak it so boomin' 

{yeah!} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Getcha getcha ya ya mamma 

To the gals I am hip 

The funky naturals is the ones, are you hip? 

If you dis a sis' then you ain't actin' hip 

Check doodle, silk and butter cause we be black and hip 

Silky like jazz silky beats to move the hip 

Milky with pizazz kinda sheik and very hip 

The chocolate and the braids and the eyes be so hip 

That insects for the units gettin' live gettin' hip 

{i think you need a quota!} 

The gardens known as cities sprout ferns and tulips 

A sexy "hi" followed by requests to do it 

When funky duds is drapin' off the curves of a vixen 

And fig leaf sugars start to sprout elix 'em 

And roll with the lines, damn they be fine 

Ask t from the deep, we heard it through the vine 

I keep cans of bait for the fishes in aquariums 

Boosting me with verve like marine boys aquagum 

{all together} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

The units I know are the swoonest 

{the what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

I love 'em so I speak it so boomin' 

{yeah!} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Swoon units 

{what?} 

Run and tell your mom about this 

The original swarm whether cold whether warm 

I, the doodlebug knowledge every form 

It's a beautiful day by the park take a seat 

As bosoms float by keepin' doodlebug in heat 

Chocolate treats, silky bronze skin 

Butter sees what I see and gives me a grin 

All is good in the land of the honey-dip lovelies 

Don't wanna be 'em just to see 'em 

Ow! 

Oh that's what's happenin' y'all 

Yeah that's what's happenin' 

Oh I see what's happenin' now, yeah 

I see what's happenin' now butterfly, yeah
