From the Missy Elliot song Gossip Folks:

Musi ques  
I sews on bews  
I pues a twos on que zat  
Pue zoo  
My kizzer  
Pous zigga ay zee  
Its all kizza  
Its always like  
Its all kizza  
Its always like  
Na zound  
Wa zee  
Wa zoom zoom zee  
Uh… what?

It’s Double Dutch!  
Remember _The Double Dutch Bus_?  
I can’t remember the rules, but it’s just wordplay, like Pig Latin is.
