You know life is all about expression
 You only live once  and you're not coming back
 So express yourself  yeah

 CHORUS
 Express yourself  you gotta be you and only you  babe
 Express yourself  and let me be me
 Express yourself  don't tell me what I cannot do  baby
 Come on and work your body

 Now Joe wanna be like Bob
 Bob got it goin' on with no job
 And everything Rob got he got from Robin
 And everything she got she got ho-hoppin'
 My girl Jilly wanna be like Jackie
 Fat rope chains and I think that's wick-wacky
 Tom and Dick wanna be like Harry
 Little do they know he's bitin' on Barry
 Stan was a scam, but Vinnie's legit
 Mercedes coupe hometroop with no kit
 A businessman with a beeper for a reason
 Not like Tim because it's in this season

 CHORUS

 Oh yeah, oh yeah
 Hey Pep, you up next

 Yes, I'm Pep and there ain't nobody
 Like my body, yes, I'm somebody
 No, I'm sorry, I'm-a rock this Mardis Gras
 Until the party ends, friends
 Yes, I'm blessed, and I know who I am
 I express myself on every jam
 I'm not a man, but I'm in command
 Hot damn, I got an all-girl band
 And I wear the gear, yeah, I wanna wear it, too
 I don't care, dear, go ahead and stare (oooo)
 Afraid to be you, livin' in fear (boo)
 Expression is rare, I dare you

 CHORUS

 Oh yeah, oh yeah...
 Yo, excuse us while we rap
 Go ahead, girls, express yourself!

 My party, your party, anytime drop in
 Cold hip-hop is always rockin'
 Don't you like it when the music drop
 Jump, spread out, and stop?
 Now bring in the go-go (uh-oh)
 Look at how my butt go rock from left to the right
 You wanna step to me, groove me
 I know you wanna do me
 Come on now, fellas, don't fight

 At my door they're bum-rushin'
 To hear the percussion
 Sound of my go-go band
 I've long ago learned my lesson
 It's all about expression
 Will the real Salt and Pepa please stand?
 And...

 Express yourself, you've got to be you, babe
 Express yourself, and let me be me
 Express yourself, don't tell me what to do, babe
 Express yourself, come on and work that body

 Express yourself, you've got to be you, babe
 Express yourself, don't tell me what to do, babe
 Express yourself, you've got to be you, babe
 Express yourself, don't tell me what to do, babe

 Express yourself, oh yeah, oh yeah
 Express yourself
