Overdrive
Spine: When I enter a room there shines a blinding light
It is so bright, people shield their eyes
Rabbit: I take a step back and pivot around on my feet
So everyone can see what I am wearing
Hatchworth: Beam a smile to the host at the back of the room
Then tip my hat so slowly; man that's really cool
Oh oh oh, oh oh, ohohohohoh
Oh oh oh, oh oh, ohohohohoh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Spine: I've got my hand and the room is on it
Hatch: On my palm, make 'em all..
Rabbit: ...dance to and fro
Spine: with their eyes
Rabbit: their sight
Hatchworth: drinks me in
Spine: and tries
Rabbit: to com-pre-hend all-of-my
Hatchworth: Charming looks
Spine: Chiseled face
Rabbit: Glooooowing eeeeeeyes
Hatchworth: then they stare at my moves
Spine: gleaming smile (Rabbit: Glooooowing eyes)
Hatchworth: and fancy shoes
Spine: That's when we go into
Overdrive
Overdrive
Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive
Overdrive
Overdrive
Over-D-d-d-d-drive
Spine: Our heads are on right, we are just in an overdrive
And our dancing comes so naturally we don't even have to try
Rabbit: We've got these moves (Hatchworth: you think they're not cool?)
Spine: We don't know how to dance
Rabbit: We just carry ourselves in an overdriven stance
Oh, oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh,
Ohohohohohohohoh
Rabbit: I drive my car straight through the walls, into the ballroom and people gasp when they realize that the car matches the color of my eyes
Spine: My head is rocking back and forth, synced to the beat
And all the while I’m tapping the dance floor with my feet
Hatchworth: Point to the ceiling just before the music comes on (Spine: dance floor, dance floor oh) and no one will be prepared, for my moves at they will have stared (Spine: dance, dance, dance, dance dance)
Oh oh oh, oh oh, ohohohohoh (Spine: tappin’ the dance floor)
Oh oh oh. oh oh, ohohohohoh (Spine: c’mon)
Oh, Oh, Oh (Spine: tap those feet)
Oh, Oh, Oh
Hatchworth: I've got my hand and the room is on it (oh yeah)
Spine: On my palm, make 'em all..
Rabbit: ...dance to and fro (ohhohohoh)
Hatch: with their eyes
Spine: their sight
Rabbit: drinks me in (oh yeah)
Hatch: and tries
Spine: to com-pre-hend all-of-my (okay)
Hatchworth: Charming looks
Spine: Chiseled face
Rabbit: Glooooowing eeeeeeyes
Hatchworth: then they stare at my moves
Spine: gleaming smile (Rabbit: Glooooowing eyes)
Hatchworth: and fancy shoes
Spine: That's when we go into
Overdrive
Overdrive
Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive (oh yeah)
Overdrive
Overdrive
Overdrive
Overdrive is taking me over and driving me
Overdrive don't stop, we all like this feeling (Spine: overdrive)
Our heads are on right, we are just in an overdrive (Spine: you know it’s true)
Our dancing comes so naturally we don't even have to try (Spine: overdrive)
Hatchworth: We've got these moves (Rabbit: you think they're not cool?) (Spine: oh yeah)
Spine: We don't know how to dance
Hatchworth: We just carry ourselves in this overdriven stance (Spine: yeah)
Oh, oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh,
Ohohohohohohohoh
Whoa!
Spine: Grab your ears and disappear 'cause SPG is here with rhymes and beats so hot they sear through all your fears. Everybody start to cheer and break down what you hear 'cause I'm gonna drop a sphere of sound that'll make your eyes tear. All you people 'round in here better get in gear 'cause when I started my career it was to last hundred years. The party won't stop, now that's pretty clear 'cause all of the exits I have commandeered.
Rabbit: A fat cat sat on my hat
Hatchworth: and spat a rat up on my bathmat
Spine: He once knew a gnat, his name was Pat
Rabbit: He liked to chat, but his pitch was flat
Hatchworth: My friend went splat, where she at?
Spine: was she flying with her homies like a leaf-nosed bat into a big vat
Hatchworth: of strawberry fruit snacks
losing all her health stats because of that?
Oh!
Overdrive is taking me over and driving me
Overdrive don't stop, we all like this feeling (Spine: everybody put your hands up)
Overdrive
Overdrive
Oh-oh-oh-oh-overdrive (Spine: don’t stop)
Overdrive (Spine: don’t stop)
Overdrive (Spine: don’t stop)
Over-d-d-d-d-drive (Spine: yeh)
