Song: Ain’t No Hollerback Girl “Gwen Stefani”
Lyrics
Uh huh, this is my shit
All the girls stomp your feet like this
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl [x2]
Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]
I heard that you were talking shit
And you didn’t think that I would hear it
People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up
So I’m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack
Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out
That’s right, put your pom-poms downs, getting everybody fired up
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl [x2]
Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]
So that’s right dude, meet me at the bleachers
No principals,no student-teachers
Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one
So I’m gonna fight, gonna give it my all
Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you
That’s right I’m the last one standing, another one bites the dust
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl [x2]
Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]
Let me hear you say this shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
(This shit is bananas)
(B-A-N-A-N-A-S)
Again
This shit is bananas
B-A-N-A-N-A-S
(This shit is bananas)
(B-A-N-A-N-A-S)
A few times I’ve been around that track
So it’s not just gonna happen like that
Because I ain’t no hollaback girl
I ain’t no hollaback girl [x2]
Ooooh ooh, this my shit, this my shit [x4]
" Big city "
Hello guys! Hope you get this massage. I am sending this from Japan and I actually have been a big fan of this funny, awesome, and lovely podcast since 2013. My first time topic of Real Life English was "Australian slang", do you remember, Chad?? I learned English in Australia so I'm really happy to listen your OZ topics and my second home town slangs which you had as topics before. Of course, not only OZ topics but I love you guys's conversation. I never stop learning English as long as you guys finish this podcast!
By the way, when will you come to Japan to have a party??? I would love to join your party! Kyoto city where I live is a beautiful interesting city ( it is more attractive than Tokyo!) in Japan. You'll see a traditional and historical part of Japan and modern part in one time. There are heaps of bars and nice restaurants as well. Please visit my city and have a big real life English party there!
