  • My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right, it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge
    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right, it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge

    I know you want it
    The thing that makes me
    What the guys go crazy for
    They lose their minds
    The way I wind
    I think it's time

    La-la, la-la, la
    Warm it up
    La-la, la-la, la
    The boys are waiting
    La-la, la-la, la
    Warm it up
    La-la, la-la, la
    The boys are waiting

    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge
    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge

    I can see you're on it
    You want me to teach the
    Techniques that freaks these boys
    It can't be bought
    Just know, thieves get caught
    Watch if you're smart

    La-la, la-la, la
    Warm it up
    La-la, la-la, la
    The boys are waiting
    La-la, la-la, la
    Warm it up
    La-la, la-la, la
    The boys are waiting

    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge
    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge

    Oh, once you get involved
    Everyone will look this way, so
    You must maintain your charm
    Same time maintain your halo
    Just get the perfect blend
    Plus what you have within
    Then next his eyes'll squint
    Then he's picked up your scent

    La-la, la-la, la
    Warm it up
    La-la, la-la, la
    The boys are waiting
    La-la, la-la, la
    Warm it up
    La-la, la-la, la
    The boys are waiting

    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge
    My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
    And they're like, it's better than yours
    Damn right it's better than yours
    I can teach you, but I have to charge Writer/s: Chad Hugo, Pharrell L. Williams

  • 1'm@ B@d Bl339 from Hayward, Californiawow, what a great song I hope my milkshake brings all the girls to the yard (As I am, lesbian)

    I thinks it's about Anal sex.. "to the yard" is probably a person inserting they're (y'know..) Maybe her milkshake is her getting "pumped" and is now like.. jiggling her (y'know) That's my thoughts about it..
  • Siahara Shyne Carter from United States~ My milkshake real Milkshake is better that yours HAHAHA 1$ each
  • George from Vancouver, CanadaThe remaining question is: who is she singing this to? Other girls? "The boys"?
  • George from Vancouver, Canadaas to the meaning of milkshake - look at the video, she's SHAKING her MILK jugs. . . could it also mean her heart is ice cold (turning the shaken milk into ice cream? i.e. she does this coldly, not from passion(heat)?)
  • Henry from Sanford, Florida, UsaIt's pretty obvious that milkshake is a metaphor for oral sex - where she is the object of desire who draws "all the boys to the yard," where they are symbolized as a pack of dogs. The boys say hers is better than another woman's because she's a professional (call girl who charges)...
  • Kent from Greensburg, PaThis was also the opening song for Date Movie.
  • Cyberpope from Richmond, CanadaIs it "my milk shakes better than hers" or " my milkshake's better than hers"?
    The first suggests heavy breasts jumping around (yummy!)
    The second would lead me more to thinking handjob (od school, shaking the container of "cream")
    Perhaps it's deliberately ambiguous?
  • Tony from Tye, Txmy friend made me listen to this, now its stuck in my head and its sad, scary and at the same time a lil funnny that im a guy and i can perfectly sing this entire song.....
  • Mandie from Port Royal, Pai wouldnt mind being told everyone want s my milkshake
  • Caitlin from Upper Township, Njgreat dance song. i luv dancing 2 it! one time, my drunk cousin requested it at my other cousin's black tie wedding!
  • Pete from Nowra, Australiayes one of those all time classic songs like If I had a Hammer , Do a Dear , I'm dreaming of a white Xmas ...yes in 10 , 20 years from now , parents will be singing this song to their kids as they assemble around the fire on a cold winters night..sipping on eggnog
  • Pete from Nowra, Australiaactually Cat its about a victim of the holocaust getting (bleep).
  • Dustin from Lincoln, NePeter Griffin sings this song to a bunch of prison inmates on Family Guy Season 5 Episode 14. It's hilarious.
  • Cat from Chicago, IlThis song is actually a very deep reflection upon the holocaust. (Just kidding, it's about blow jobs, plain &simple.) I guess if you try hard enough, you could probably make sense out of both.
  • Caity from Frazer, PaOn the uncensored cd version, this song says "my deep throat brings all the boys to the yard."
  • Jonothan from Adelaide, AustraliaChad and Nathan. Guys, the song is clearly about blow jobs ... and more power to her.
  • Katerina from New Britain, CtThis song is so perverted but it hasa good beat!!!!
  • Chad from Kenedy, Txsong is about doing a strip tease routine
  • Cool Guy from Compton, CaI like getting milkshakes.
  • Pete from Nowra, Australialisten closely the song its about the benefits of milk..re protein content , pasteurisation, heating the milk in an evaporated state ,whereby keeping it rich in calcium and fructose

    thats whats she's singing about!!!!!!
  • Nathan from High Wycombe, EnglandI heard that milkshake was a synonym for masturbation, sounds likely when listened to in context.
  • Anders from Aalborg, DenmarkHer second album is "Wanderland".
  • Anders from Aalborg, DenmarkKelis made her second album in 2001. Virgin Records signed her.
