He made a movie.
He played the driver of a big yellow car.
He is super fab and groovy. 
He struts, he crows, you never know where you are with him.

He got no sense but he got money.
He got no sense but he got overnight success.
Exceed excess, exceed excee-ee-eeess.

He no big deal, he just a wide boy.
He no big deal he's just an ordinary guy.
Oh me oh my, oh me oh my-yy-yyy!
