[Verse 1: The Fresh Prince]
Well I was cool and sitting by the phone and waiting for
A ring with a female voice or a date or
An invitation to a nightclub for some minglin'
But ahh, my phone started jinglin'
Picked it up I checked the Rolex first
I call one of my regulars worst come to worst
I said hello, but the voice sounded nervous
Baby relax FP at your service
The girl spoke up and her voice sounded very nice
I met you last week at that club called the Paradise
I said yeah babe I'd like to go their again
So get dressed and you better be fly, see you at ten
Hung up the phone and checked the mirror
Sort of like ESP I could hear her
Heart beating encaged with the groove
And all I could say to myself was damn this boy is smooth

[Verse 2: The Fresh Prince]
So I pulled up to the club at the gate where they let celebs in
Entre booted a Porsche 9-11 then
Girls took a look at me and started to break
Ladies calm down, I've already got a date
Cruised up front and I was happy to find her
Tantalizing tasty tune named Tanya
I said hey yo babe let's not go in the place yet
Come on hop in I got Luther in the tape deck
I kicked the gift and the girl was like silly putty
She said let's go some place and chill, I said really honey
We went to the beach to take a little walk
I found out I was smoother than I thought
My hands like Maverick started to wander
Left and right then wound up behind her
Face to face and chest to chest and ohh like a spindle of silk
Yo this boy is smooth

[Verse 3: The Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff]
Here it is verse tres
Back at my place
The scene was set because I set it before I left
Girl I'm like a tool, grab me and use me
Where do you want me by the fireplace or the jacuzzi
I never slipped yo I got my grip like a handle
Turn down the lights and lit up a candle
A bottle of chilled champagne right beside me
Radio booming pumpin' the Isley's
Maybe I'll grab her and give her a kiss
Or kick her a line on the smooth Billy Dee tip
Or maybe I'll take her outside where the pool's at
Smack it up flip it nah I'm too cool for that
Ahh I know what I'll do
Hold her tightly and caress for a little while
Make it gentle and slow not faster
Pause for the cause and heres a word from the master
Yo I'm the J-A double D Jazzy
Smooth as self smooth than I have to be
Knowing acknowledged recognized that that's the king of the groove
And I'm the man that blessed FP is smooth

[Outro: The Fresh Prince]
Hey yo J take me out...
