See that babe in the tight black dress?
Long and leggy, got a prominent chest
Face of an angel and a scorpion's sting
Out-a-town businessmen get suckered in
She can make a fool outta you!
Betty Boo
She's a real deal girl and she ain't no spoof
She's a hot black cat on a cold tin roof
Sapphires, emeralds, anything Ming
Hands on your cash man, that's her thing
Who can make a fool outta you?
Betty Boo
She'll suck you in and she'll spit you out
Make you mad, make ya scream and shout
Hook right into your diamond style
Hypnotise you with her smile
Betty Boo
Got her garter high an' a li'l secret stash
Where many a fool can part with his cash
Japanese Jack , he's a "pimpin' joe"
He takes his share, sends her out for more
Who can make a fool outta you?
Betty Boo
(Inst)
Bedroom eyes and perfect thighs
Ruby lips, man, what a prize!
Wanna know what she can do?
Betty Boo
Make you sweat in the blink of an eye
Break your heart and bleed you dry
An' if you ain't been with her before she'll
Always leave you wantin' more
Betty Boo
So, hey, get smart and take a listen to me
'Coz you wallet'll feel what your eyes don't see
Better think twice, don't do anything rash
Or ya soon be partin' ways with your cash
I'll leave up to you - and
Betty Boo
