  • Get on top
    Get on top
    Hit me (get on top), come get me
    Oh, I bite but she bit me (get on top)

    Gorilla cunt illa
    Sammy D and Salmonella (get on top)
    Come with me 'cause I'm an ass killer
    You're ill but I'm iller (get on top)

    I'ma linger on your block and
    Give the finger to a cop and
    Pick a lock before I knock and
    Set you up to get on top

    (Get on top) complications of a mastermind
    (Get on top) last temptation of my kind
    (Get on top) extra planetary sign when do we align
    (Get on top) all in time
    Right on

    Get up (get on top), come sit up
    I light but she lit up (get on top)

    Grasshopper, show stopper
    The life of a wife swapper (get on top)
    Come with me 'cause I'm a big bopper
    You do but I wopper (get on top)

    Exterminate my cause
    You want to draw some straws
    Be the one to see my flaws
    Make me bleed with painted claws

    (Get on top) complications of a mastermind
    (Get on top) last temptation of my kind
    (Get on top) extra planetary sign when do we align
    (Get on top) all in time
    Right on

    (Get on top)
    (Get on top)
    Hit me (get on top), come get me
    Oh, I bite but she bit me (get on top)

    Speed baller, Rhodes Scholar
    Bottom bitch and a bottom dollar (get on top)
    Come with me 'cause I'm a free faller
    You hoot but I holler (get on top)

    I'ma linger on your block and
    Give the finger to a cop and
    Pick a lock before I knock and
    Set you up to get on top

    Get on top
    Get on top

    - Get on top, for starters
    - Gorilla, cuntilla
    - I bite but she bit me
    - Come with me because I'm an ass killer?
    - I'll malinger on your block (box if you will)
    - You hoot but I holler??
  • Emma from White Rock, CanadaI thought that this song was about sex... I'm a HUGE fan of the peppers, but the lyrics to this song are really hard to stomach.
  • Josh from Palmerston North, AlActually Graeme the song I like dirt is about when the chili peppers used to tour around america they would through a ball around and whoever dropped the ball had to lick the ground no matter what was on it
  • Emitremmus from Desolation Row, United Statesgreat bassline...just like all of flea's work (w/ RHCP or not)
  • Graeme from Hampshire, EnglandI thought it was about sex too; I'm pretty sure 'I like Dirt' is too. 'Some come up and some come young, live to love and give good tongue!' Great lyrics!
  • Mistik from Sydney, Australiaahh.. but most chili's lyrics have something to do with sex or lyrics that sound like its sexually orientated. i have to admit i thought it was get on top of .... yeah.. guess i was wrong. still it could go both ways.
  • Lexie from London, EnglandAnd there was me thinking this song was all about sex. What a one track mind I have....kick ass song though.
