You think that’s hot, how about “down to whom I could talk”.

Closer still. Maybe “down on whom I could sit.”
I still have not found that for which I am looking.

I like big buttocks and I cannot lie.
My fellow black men, you’re sure to agree with me:
When a young lady enters the premises with a small waist
Yet a large bottom that fills one’s view,
One becomes aroused!
One wishes to take out one’s penis!
Because one knows that the young lady’s trousers are straining
At the immensity of her posterior.

Bravo! Bravo!
That one always bugged me, since it wouldn’t hurt the song to use correct grammer. [sub]I can’t believe someone beat me to it :([/sub]

Black men are quite aware of the existence of the death penalty.
We celebrate Mr. D, the leader of our band, who is known for his rhyming ability.
I get very frightened when approached by the police.
Although I do present a somewhat gangster-like image, I’ve never even owned a firearm!
I am somewhat marginalized because I use my musical success as a vehicle to espouse the teachings of Louis Farrakhan.
I really do believe you should take the time to listen to his message.
Hopefully I can use my music to influence a social movement to that end.
I’ve received quite a lot of positive feedback which encourages me.
And I feel we have a great chance of success.
Geez, I do not even know if the proper form is Two out of three is not bad or Two out of three are not bad…
A subtle one: “I’d like to thank you for letting me be myself again.”
What’s Tom Cat going to sing while pitching woo? “Are You or Are You Not My Baby?” It’s got no zazz, man!

This is not a party
Nor is it a disco
I am not fooling around
This is not a mudd club
Nor is it CBGB
I don’t have time for that at the moment
I have my mojo working, but it does not seem to work on you.
I do not have any grass
I do not have any acid
I do not have any clothes
I do not have a pad
I do not have any apples
I do not have a knife
I do not have any guns
I do not have any garbage
I do not have a draft card
That don’t have the same rhythm, do it?
Our galaxies’ main source of energy, the Sun, ceases photon emission during the period my lover is not in close temporal proximity to my location. My abode is in an undefined state.

One of the (many) verses to the children’s classic “It ain’t gonna rain no more” goes
Some of you are conflating two different games. Fixing bad grammar is not the same as using more $10 words.
“Nobody does it half as well as you”
which in my mind sounds better than the original. Trom the first time I heard it as the theme song for The Spy who Loved Me I have hated the “Nobody does it half as good as you”. There is no reason for the good instead of the well other than illiteracy of the lyricist. It does not mess up any rhyme, internal or end. Nor does it foul up any beat. To my ear “well” flows into the next word even better than “good”.
