  • Cool jerk, cool jerk
    Cool jerk, cool jerk
    We know a cat who can really do the cool jerk
    We know a cat who can really do the cool jerk

    Well, this cat they talkin' about, I wonder who could it be?
    'Cause I know I'm the heaviest cat
    The heaviest cat you ever did see

    When they see me walkin' down the street (hey, hey, hey)
    None of the fellas want to speak (hey, hey, hey)
    On their faces they wear a silly smirk 'cause they know I'm the king of the cool jerk, whoo

    (Cool jerk, cool jerk)
    (Cool jerk, uh-huh!) Ha, ha, ha
    Look at them guys lookin' at me like I'm a fool (cool jerk, uh-huh)
    But, aww, deep down inside they know I'm cool (cool jerk, uh-huh)
    I said, now, I said now, the moment of truth has finally come (cool jerk, uh-huh)
    When I'ma to show you some, some of that cool jerk (cool jerk, uh-huh)
    Now, give me a little bit of drums, by himself, there
    Now, give me a little bit of bass, with those 88's

    Aww, you're cookin' baby!
    Hmm, you're smokin'!
    Hmm-hmm-hmm!
    Now everybody, I wanna hear you all

    Aww, can you do it? (Can you do it, can you do it, can you do it, can you do it?)
    (Can you do it, can you do it, can you do it, can you do the cool jerk?)
    Come on, people(cool jerk)
    Hey, hey

    When they see me walkin' down the street (hey, hey, hey)
    They think twice and then they speak (hey, hey, hey)
    On their faces they don't wear their smirk
    'Cause they know I'm a king of the cool jerk

    (Cool jerk) come on people
    (Cool jerk) can you do it now?
    (Cool jerk)
    (Come on people) can you do it, can you do it, can you do it, can you do it?)
    (Can you do it, can you do it, can you do it, can you do the cool jerk?)
    Come on people
    (Cool jerk) can you do it now?
    (Cool jerk)
    Come on people
    (Cool jerk) now you're doin' it Writer/s: Donald Storball
