You got a palm to show me? How do you do?
I know you wanna know me. Hell, I would too
I bet you got a firm grip. Warm to the touch
You see where this is heading: that perfect clutch
I know you want it too, I see it in your eyes
You want to form a bond, you want to fraternize.
I know you do
So shake my hand
'Cause an impulse ain't an action without a command
And I'll have to get down on the floor and take a stand
Or you'll never hear me order you to shake my hand
"Up top" is overrated, I'm not a bro
I guess a hug is okay, but I wouldn't know
There is only one way to greet this man
So put her there already, heed my command
A wave or bow is safe, but don't believe the hype, no
I always keep it clean, got antiseptic wipes.
My skin is pure
So shake my hand
'Cause an impulse ain't an action without a command
And I'll have to get down on the floor and take a stand
Or you'll never hear me order you to shake my hand
Shake it. Shake it. Shake it.
Shake my hand
'Cause an impulse ain't an action without a command
And I'll have to get down on the floor and take a stand
Or you'll never hear me implore you to shake my hand
