  • I remember back, back in school when I wasn't cool
    Shit, I still ain't cool, but you better make some room for me
    I'm comin' through with my crew at the rendezvous
    Yeah, it's a party over here now
    Yeah, it's a party over here now

    If I knew then what I know now
    I'd give myself a souvenir for old times' sake
    'Cause I got all that I need here and I'm good yeah, yeah

    I thought I needed to run and find somebody to love
    But all I needed was some coconut oil
    Don't worry 'bout the small things, I know I can do all things
    Mama always told me it would be alright
    I thought I needed the rush, but there was never enough
    'Cause all I needed was some coconut oil
    Don't worry 'bout the small things, I know I can do all things
    Mama always told me that and she was right (wow, wow wow, wow)

    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now, yeah
    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now (wow, wow wow, wow)
    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now, yeah
    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now (wow, wow wow, wow)

    When I look at you, I see me, so I do unto
    You as I would do someone livin' in my two story
    We got different stories, we under one roof
    So when it spring a leak, we both got work to do

    If I knew then what I know now
    I'd give myself a souvenir for old times' sake
    'Cause I got all that I need here and I'm good yeah, yeah

    I thought I needed to run and find somebody to love
    But all I needed was some coconut oil
    Don't worry 'bout the small things, I know I can do all things
    Mama always told me it would be alright
    I thought I needed the rush, but there was never enough
    'Cause all I needed was some coconut oil
    Don't worry 'bout the small things, I know I can do all things
    Mama always told me that and she was right (wow, wow wow, wow)

    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now, yeah
    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now (wow, wow wow, wow)
    It's a party over here now, it's a party over here now, yeah
