[Intro: Snoop Dogg]
Bootzilla, baba

[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
You wanna play with me?
Hold on, you wanna play with it? I wanna lay with it
All day with it, is you with it?
And when I do it, you know I did it
'Cause my groove is exquisite, it's such a privilege
You wanna play with it? I wanna lay with it
All day with it, is you with it?
'Cause if you ain't, you gotta quit playin' with a playa

[Pre-Chorus: Bootsy Collins & Snoop Dogg]
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh (Yeah, thought you was playin')
I'm gettin' ready to jam
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh
I'm gettin' ready to jam

[Chorus: Bootsy Collins]
I'm jammin' 'cause you can't
I'm there before you think
I've gotta keep my groove strong
So jam on
I'm jammin' 'cause you won't
I'm doin' those things you don't
I've gotta keep my funk strong
We jam on

[Verse 2: Bootsy Collins]
I'm livin' a lavish lifestyle
(In a luxury suite) In a luxury suite, baby
Ah, can you dig it?
(What makes it even better)
Oh, I'm just a fella on the street bop
(And we all gon' jam for that)
Jam on it

[Pre-Chorus: Bootsy Collins]
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh
Jam (I'm gettin' ready to jam), jam
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh
I'm gettin' ready to jam, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus: Bootsy Collins]
I'm jammin' 'cause you can't
I'm there before you think
I've gotta keep my groove strong
So jam on
I'm jammin' 'cause you won't
I'm doin' those things you don't
I gotta keep my funk strong
Taz gettin' ready to blast, blast it!

[Guitar Solo]
Jam on

[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg]
Pass the pill, ink the deal
Snoop Dogg in the paint like big Shaquille
Toss me a lob, I'm on the job, I'm hard at work
Threes, yeah, my crossover sure will freeze ya
Tease ya, just a minute
You know I been down ever since I came up in it
They call me the pick of the litter, the big game spitter
Uncle Boots said, "Get 'em, Snoop Dogg," so I bit 'em

[Refrain: Bootsy Collins]
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh
Jam (I'm gettin' ready to jam), jam
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh

[Bridge: Bootsy Collins]
I'll huff and I puff and I blow your stuff in, baby
I'll huff and I puff and I blow your stuff in, baby

[Chorus: Bootsy Collins]
I'm jammin' 'cause you can't
I'm there before you think
I've gotta keep my groove strong
So jam on
I'm jammin' 'cause you won't
I'm doin' those things you don't
I gotta keep my funk strong
We jam on

[Refrain: Bootsy Collins]
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh
I'm gettin' ready to jam
Ohh, oh-oh, woah-woah, oh-oh

[Outro: Paul A. Partain]
If I have any more fun today
I don't think I'm gonna be able to take it

Bootsy Collins

Bootsy Collins (born William Earl Collins in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 26, 1951) is a singer-songwriter and guitar player known as one of the pillars of the funk sound in his work with James Brown and George Clinton. His nickname was given to him by his mother, who told him, “You looked like Bootsy.”

Along with his brother Phelps “Catfish” Collins, Bootsy joined James Brown’s backing band, The J.B.’s, in the early 1970s and played on a number of Brown’s hits, including “Super Bad”, “Soul Power”, and “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine” among others. After nearly a year, Collins left Brown’s band and connected with George Clinton and his Parliament Funkadelic P-Funk movement in 1972. During his run with the group, Bootsy also branched off to produce solo work with Bootsy’s Rubber Band.

Bootsy was also instrumental in the career of electro-funk legend Roger Troutman and his group Zapp in the early 1980s. Bootsy’s work also became a major sample source by a number of hip-hop stars, and his style was a big inspiration to Snoop Dogg a.k.a. Snoopy Collins. His signature vocals were featured in Grand Theft Auto V as the DJ for radio station Space 103.2, as well as featured on the 2018 hit “After the Storm” with Kali Uchis. As a member of Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
