Let's Have A Kiki Lyrics

"What's up, it's Pickles
Leave a message"

"Hey, I'm calling you back
Ooh, she's been a bitch tonight
And by bitch, I mean this rain
No cabs, nowhere
So I had to put on the wigs and the heels
And the lashes and the hair
And take the train to the club
And you know the MTA
Should stand for, "Motherfuckers Touching my Ass"
So then I get to the club
Looking like a drowned, harassed rat
And I'm greeted, not by Miss Roze at the door
But our friend, Johnny Five-Oh
Yes honey, the NYPD shut down the party
So no fee for me
I don't even know what's the tea
So I hope you're up girl
'Cause we are all coming over
Lock the doors, lower the blinds
Fire up the smoke machine
And put on your heels
'Cause I know exactly what we need"

Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have kiki
(Motherfucker)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve
And work and turn and h-h-honey

A kiki is a party
For calming all your nerves
We're spilling tea and dishing just desserts one may deserve
And though the sun is rising
Few may choose to leave
So shade that lid
And we'll all bid
Adieu to your ennui

Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have kiki
(Motherfucker)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve
And work and turn and h-h-honey

Oh, what a wonderful kiki
This kiki is marvelous
(Work it, girl)
Very limited
Ew, you know girl we were
Sitting back here just having our own kiki

Kiki, so so, oui oui, non non
Kiki, so so, oui oui, non non
Kiki, so so, oui oui, non non
Kiki, so so, oui oui, non non

Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have a kiki
(Motherfucker)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Dive, turn, work
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve
And work and turn and h-h-honey

Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Lock the doors tight
Let's have a kiki
(Hunty drop her)
I'm gonna let you have it
Let's have a kiki
I wanna have a kiki
Boots, ten, queen
Let's have a kiki
We're gonna serve
And work and turn and h-h-honey
