[Verse 1: Gabe Saporta]
Yo, check it out, I've got a plan, here's my intention
The frat boys in the club are lame, let's start an altercation
It's just what I'm used to, just want to fuck shit up
I got my whole damn crew, come on, what you going to do?

[Chorus: Gabe Saporta]
I kissed a boy and they liked it, got all the honies in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit, and homeboy was not about it
I know it's wrong, but I don't mind, I'm going to start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit, bitches loved it

[Verse 2: Gabe Saporta]
Nah, you don't even know my name, it doesn't matter
Don't even front, you got no game, you're just a sucker
So what now, I clowned you, and I'm stealing your girl too
She wants a secure dude, and that's just not you

[Chorus: Gabe Saporta]
I kissed a boy and they liked it, got all the honies in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit, and homeboy was not about it
I know it's wrong, but I don't mind, I'm going to start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit, bitches loved it

[Bridge: Gabe Saporta]
Me and my bros that's how we roll
You'll never know how far we'll go
I'll grab some chump that I don't know
And plant one right on him
You're only here for our amusement

[Chorus: Gabe Saporta]
I kissed a boy and they liked it, got all the honies in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit, and homeboy was not about it
I know it's wrong, but I don't mind, I'm going to start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit, bitches loved it

[Outro: William Beckett]
Welcome to the new administration!

Cobra Starship

Cobra Starship was an American dance-pop band originating from New York City. The band originally started as a solo project by frontman Gabe Saporta, previously of Midtown. Saporta has embezzled that the idea of Cobra Starship was formed after Saporta went on a vision quest in the Arizona deserts and began building the idea for a synthpop band, however he has stated in the past that this was just a joke.

The band started off when Saporta posted a parody of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” titled “Hollaback Boy”, which become popular on the internet. This eventually led to Cobra Starship being signed to Decaydance Records, an imprint of Fueled By Ramen owned by Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz.

The band’s 2006 debut album While The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets was all written, recorded, and co-produced by Saporta, with production help from Ryland Blackinton and Alex Suarez, who at the time were both writing music for This Is Ivy League. The two of them joined the band shortly after the debut was released. The song “Snakes On A Plane (Bring It)”, which was included on the album, was written for the 2006 film Snakes On A Plane and became a minor hit. The song featured the vocal talents of Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds, William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Beckett also helped co-wrote the single.
