New Kids On The Block
Danny: Yo, Jordan! What's up? 
Jordan: Hey Danny! What's happening? 
Oh, here comes little Joey Joe down the street 
Joe: Ho! What's happenin' fellas? 
Jordan: Yo, there's Jon, but has anyone seen Donnie? 
Danny: I don't know, but I thought I saw him walking towards the corner store. 
Joe: Nah, he's at the park playing ball 
Jon: Oh, here he comes now 
(ad libbed greetings) 
Donnie: Hey Guys! 
Danny: Where have you been? 
Donnie: Man, I've got a story to tell! 
All: HIT IT! 


Donnie: 
Saw a homegirl at the corner store 
Eyes started bugging, mouth fell to the floor 
She had a miniskirt and a sexy pose 
I tried to rap to her, but I just froze 
Tell me now fellas, what can I do? 
To make a girl like me, like a girl likes you? 


Danny:Well Homeboy get ready! 
Joe: 'Cause you want correcting 
Jordan: 'Cause a girl needs love 
All: And plenty of affection 


Jon: If a girl were mine, I'd give her the world 
I'd buy her diamonds and pearls just to make her my girl 


Jordan: That might work with your girl, but not with mine. 
She's not the type of girl to fall for any line 


Joe: I'd take her out to dinner, treat her like a winner 
I may be young, but I'm no beginner 


Danny: All your ways are good, but not as good as mine 
You have to be sincere for a girl that fine! 


Chorus 
Baby, won't you please be mine? 
Are you down? 
Baby, won't you please be mine? 
Are you down? HO! 


Danny: Alright then, D., since you gave it a try 
All: Tell us about the girl who caught your eye 


Donnie: 
It was after school and I was feeling cool 
'Til I saw that girl and I started to drool 
So I thought to myself, take it easily 
I couldn't let peer pressure get the best of me 
I thought to myself, what should I do? 
That's when she came up on me and said 'I love you' 


Donnie: Who me? 
All: Yeah, you! 
Donnie: Couldn't be! 
All: But it's true! 


Donnie: So I rushed back home to tell you guys, 
But not before I got a quick kiss goodbye! 


All: Did you meet her friends? 
Donnie: Yeah, they looked def. 
All: Yo, that was fresh! 
Donnie: Word! Let's go left. 
Jordan: So here goes the keys 
Joe: On which it depends 
Jordan: She's got 
Joe: One! 
Jordan: Two! 
Danny: Three! 
Jon: Four! 
All: Fresh girlfriends!

All: Joey Joe! 
Joe: Nimble and quick.

All: Jon!

When I go into a party all the girls go wild 


All: Danny D! 
Danny: The prince! Make no mistake. 
I'm the MC devistating. So cool and I break.(dance)
