Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah

[Verse 1: will.i.am]
Tell me why all these bomboclaats try to clown me
I tell 'em move away, me need some privacy
Don't you know I am the man that come up positivity
Never negativity cause we create then do-re-mi
My name is will.i.am from B.E.P
Black Eyed Peas, numero uno, we be jammin' like Marty
If I'm technical with my rhymes, let me know now
I shake it all around, niggas know how we be throwin' down
Too much looky, who be ditchin' y'all like hooky
Honeys wanna get up on me like sooky-sooky
They call me on my telley talkin bout mushi-mushi
They pullin' on my body, feelin' on my tushy-tushy

[Refrain: will.i.am]
It's too much looky-looky-looky
Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah
And don't you know, I need some privacy
Excuse me young girl, me need some privacy

[Verse 2: will.i.am]
Cause the Black Eyed Peas is coming woofin' mighty-mighty flow
I'm deliverin' the rhyme because my mama told me so
I'ma do what my mama say and rock dollar y'all
Mamasay mamasa mamu makusa
Too much looky, and we the last cookie
Where pastry, get me like, mmm mmm, you taste that?
Lickin' on your finger and you're lickin' your hand
After we're finished that man make sure (make sure, make sure)

[Chorus]
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now

[Refrain: will.i.am]
It's too much looky-looky-looky
Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah
And you know, I need some privacy
Go play somewhere else, me need some privacy

[Verse 3: Taboo]
We open up, bottle killin', the business, showbiz
We be passin' the Peas, purposefully and positive
Wonder if it's, where does it last, say "Here it is"
Should be all up in your ear, with a test and a quiz
See ya dance, say "Damn, now what it is?"
Want to in sync with all the Pea body kids
You be nodding your head back and forth like this
If you're feelin' my move, then your mind is in bliss

[Verse 4: apl.de.ap]
So put your hands together now we ready to bounce
Got the whole world waiting for this, to be announced
No indication just satisfaction by the ounce
You can either jump up and boogie or just lounge

[Refrain: will.i.am]
It's too much looky-looky-looky
Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah
I thought I said need some privacy
Go play somewhere else, me need some privacy

[Verse 5: apl.de.ap]
Recite more poetic, a tactic from the attic
Apl.de.ap, gets critical and droppin' shit
Like a dimensional picture
You architect, so I free you to get the scripture
But when it hit ya, I got you turning like elixir
Back a glass of cog-n-ac, we divide the mixture
I'm about to fix you up, with a new texture
More information better down like a lecture
And in the sector

[Chorus]
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now

[Bridge: will.i.am]
Clap your hands y'all, c'mon, c'mon
Just clap our hands y'all, c'mon, c'mon
Just clap our hands y'all, c'mon, c'mon
Just clap our hands y'all, c'mon, c'mon

[Refrain: will.i.am]
It's too much looky-looky-looky
Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah
You know I need some privacy
Go play somewhere else, I need some privacy

[Verse 6: apl.de.ap]
So put your hands together now we ready to bounce
Got the whole world waiting for this, to be announced
Know you just got satisfaction by the ounce
You can either jump up and boogie or just lounge

[Refrain: will.i.am]
It's too much looky-looky-looky
Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah
You gotta give me privacy

[Chorus]
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now

[Refrain: will.i.am]
It's too much looky-looky-looky
Too much watchy-watchy-wah
They looky-looky-looky
And they watchy-watchy-wah, uh-ah, uh-ah

[Chorus]
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now, people clap your hands
Clap your hands now, people stomp your feet
Clap your hands now
