Lyrics for Yipee-Ki-Yay
Song by Kesha, T-Pain
[Intro: Kesha]
B****, oh
I just got a brand new car
Vroom vroom
Yeehaw[Verse 1: Kesha]
The whiskey spilled, it’s already gone
That dress you bought, go on and put it on
To waste tonight would be criminal
Put my record on and sing it
It rained all year, but it’s clearing up
I’m flying high, it’s a miracle
I’m drinking spirits, I’m spiritual
Good goddamn, yeehaw[Pre-Chorus: Kesha]
Ooh, that’s what I like
I’m feeling loose, I’m feeling light
I’m hella smooth like Miller Lite
I got the moves, I’m everybody’s type (Hey)[Chorus: Kesha, T-Pain & Both]
B****, I just got a brand new car
Hose me down at the trailer park
We lit up like a bonfire
Singing yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya
B**** (B****), I just got a brand new start
Call the cops, baby, kumbaya
We lit up like a bonfire
Singing yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya[Post-Chorus: Kesha & T-Pain, Kesha, T-Pain]
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
(Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Yippee-ki-yay, boop-boop (Ooh)[Verse 2: T-Pain]
I just pulled up in a brand new one (Brand nеw one)
Bartender, pour mе up some d*** fluid (Damn fluid)
I just wanna see a pretty girl dancing to it (Dancing to it)
Drinks on me just ’cause I can do it
Yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
There’s a party going on in my car (Yeah, yeah)
No gas, I still end up at the bar (Yeah, yeah)
Spit-shine the ornament
Kesha (Kesha), you’re dollar-sign fine, I want more of it
Regular girls can’t handle my world, I get bored of it
Don’t order it if you don’t wanna get into all sorts of s***
Park that booty next to this
It’s evident you don’t know that I’m heaven-sent
Edison couldn’t get this lit, I’m flexing in this (Hey)[Chorus: Kesha, T-Pain & Both]
B**** (B****), I just got a brand new car
Hose me down at the trailer park
We lit up like a bonfire
Singing yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya
B**** (B****), I just got a brand new start
Call the cops, baby, kumbaya
We lit up like a bonfire
Singing yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya
[Post-Chorus: Kesha & T-Pain, Kesha, T-Pain]
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Put your hands up in the sky-ya-ya (Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya[Verse 3: Kesha, T-Pain & Both]
There’s a two-for-one at the Dollar Tree (Dollar tree)
Double cupping straight gasoline (Gasoline)
Look around, the only ten I see
Is this barefoot baddie from Tennessee
Gonna two-step stomp down a cowboy’s street (Two-step)
Music good and the liquor is cheap (Yeah)
Pretty thing in these tight blue jeans
Good goddamn, yeehaw[Pre-Chorus: Kesha & T-Pain]
Ooh (Ooh-ooh), pass me the mic (Pass me the mic)
I’m singing karaoke out of time (Time)
I’m out of tune (Tune), I’m out of line (Line)
So pay my bail if I go to jail tonight (Oh-ayy)[Chorus: Kesha, T-Pain & Both]
B****, I just got a brand new car
Hose me do wn at the trailer park
We (We) lit up like a bonfire
Singing yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya
B****, I just got a brand new start
Call the cops, baby, kumbaya
We (We) lit up like a bonfire
Singing yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya
[Outro: Kesha, Kesha & T-Pain]
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Put your hands up in the sky-ya-ya (Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya (Ya, ya, ya, ya)
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Ya-ya, ya-ya
Put your hands up in the sky-ya-ya (Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Yippee-ki-yay, yippee-ki-ya-ya
