Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh wee, super good
Hey hey, alright
Now Aretha said respect me, your days won't be so lean
Ah yeah, mhm
Brother One said "Get on up, I feel like a sex machine"
Hey, alright, hmm
Well, brother man, don't get no lip
My fine soul handsome lad
Hey, watch me now, mhm
Mama gonna get up and do her thing, and I'll be super bad
Hey, alright, yeah
Now when I say I'll be super bad, yeah
I mean I do everything I should
So if you don't understand my rap
Well, that means super good
Oh yeah, super good
Hey, alright, alright, alright
[Verse 2]
Don't think I'm trying to jive and blow your mind (What you doing?)
'Cause I keep keeping on that Engine Number 9
I'll keep on keeping on, baby, that Engine Number 9
Don't think I'm trying to jive ya and blow your mind
'Cause I keep keeping on that Engine Number 9
I'll keep on keeping on, baby, keep keeping on
[Verse 3]
I've got my ticket, hey, I'm not trying to plead
A soul sister like me don't grow on trees
I'm not trying to tease
Soul sisters like me don't grow on trees
Hey, listen baby, alright
[Verse 4]
So fellas take care of plenty business
Alright, yeah (Tell 'em one more time, say that again)
So fellas, take care of plenty business, yeah (Uh-huh)
And treat your woman like you should, you hear me? (Why?)
'Cause if you think you are super bad
Girls, we know we are super good, mmm
We know we're super good, yeah (I don't understand what you're trying to do)
You know we're super good, yeah (Tell me one more time what you're trying to do)
[Verse 5]
Well, listen, don't think I'm trying to jive ya and blow your mind
'Cause I'll keep keeping on that Engine Number 9
Engine Number 9, baby, Engine Number 9
Engine Number 9, baby, Engine Number 9
I'll keep on keeping on that Engine Number 9
I got my ticket, oh, and I wanna ride
I got my ticket, baby, I wanna ride
Mmm, I'm a fox, come on, play your goodbye
Come on and play, boy, come on and play, boy
Oh, hey
[Verse 6]
Engine Number 9, Engine Number 9
Engine Number 9, baby, Engine Number 9
Engine Number 9, baby, Engine Number 9
I wanna ride, baby, I wanna ride, baby
I wanna ride, baby, oh yeah
Brother man, I'm getting no lip
My fine soul handsome lad, yeah (Yeah)
I want you to watch me now, mmm
Mama gonna get up and do her thing, and I'll be super bad
Super bad, ah yeah, mhm
(Would you explain that to 'em, mama?)
Now when I say I'm super bad, yeah
I mean I do everything I should (Yeah?)
Now if you don't understand my rap (What?)
Well, that means super good
Hip to super good, yeah
Are you hip to super good, baby?
I got to tell you fellas one more time
Brother One said "Get on up, uh, he feels like a sex machine"
Feels like a sex machine, feels like a sex machine
Oh yeah, I'm traveling on that engine, I'm traveling on that engine
Traveling on that Engine Number 9, baby
