Baby Appeal

(album: The Red Hot Chili Peppers - 1984)

On the city streets, I got the tunes in my box
I'll play the Chili Pepper so the public can rock
Excuse me mister, won't you hear my thought?
I play in a band, yeah, we're called the Red Hots
Out of my way, boy, I'm afraid not
I've got no time to think and talk
But this baby rocked out on the spot
She was a shaking and a kicking, that itty bitty tot
Her pop said no, but she just couldn't stop
The kid had a case of toddler rock

But here's a funky fact that I know is real
The Red Hots have baby appeal
They dig a funky spiel, it makes them squeal
The Chili Peppers have baby appeal
The funk mobile is the one we reel
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal
We serve those tots the funk-o-meal
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

We stoke the fire, we crank the heat
Four groove dog brothers funking out in the streets
Rocking up a storm when who do we meet
But the hop, skip, jump up bumping baby de beat
She was a shaking and a kicking those itty bitty feet
The next thing you know was she called out her fleet
Five thousand babies rocking out in the street
Well, that's a serious sight I mean and golly gee whizz!
I just can't tell you how much we dig

Rocking right out for those itty bitty kids, rock out

Well here's a funky fact that I know is real
The Red Hots have baby appeal
They dig a funky spiel, it makes them squeal
I say the Peppers have baby appeal
The funk mobile is the one we reel
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal
We serve those tots in the funk-o-meal
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal, so get down!

Got the tunes in my box
Baby appeal
Rock out!
Play the chili, play the chili, play the chili
Yes, we're called the Red...Hots

On the city streets, I got the tunes in my box
I'll play the Chili Pepper so the public can rock
Excuse me mister, won't you hear my thought?
I play in a band, yeah, we're called the Red Hots
Out of my way, boy, I'm afraid not
I've got no time to think and talk
But this baby rocked out on the spot
She was a shaking and a kicking, that itty bitty tot
Her pop said no, but she just couldn't stop
The kid had a case of toddler rock

But here's a funky fact that I know is real
The Red Hots have baby appeal
They dig a funky spiel, it makes them squeal
I say the Peppers have baby appeal
The funk mobile is the one we reel
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal
We serve those tots in the funk-o-meal
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal
