[Verse 1]
Baby!
When we go out, I got clout
'Cause I'm your number-one body rocker
Fellas? (Yeah!)
She'll make you scream, your insides shout
But let me tell you what it's all about

[Chorus]
She's mine, all mine
I'm her number-one body rocker all of the time
She's mine, all mine
You better find a brand new bag, 'cause these is my drawers
Slap me!

Uh, my drawers
Yeah, hmm

[Verse 2]
Baby!
I'm so ashamed, 'cause I'm all aflame
I mean, you've got my body hot
Fellas? (Yeah!)
She's so fast, you'd never last
You couldn't deal with the funk she's got

[Chorus]
She's mine, all mine
I'm her number-one body rocker all of the time
She's mine, all mine
You better find a brand new bag, 'cause these is my drawers

[Bridge]
Oh, baby, this is your number one
Yes, I know you're young
But we could have so much fun
Jesse, if you can play guitar, I'll warm up the car
And me and this girl can see the sun rise

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Whose drawers? (My drawers!)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Whose drawers? (My drawers!)
You're mine, all mine
I'm her number-one body rocker all of the time

[Outro]
Whose drawers? (Your drawers!)
Whose drawers? (Your drawers!)
Whose drawers? (Your drawers!)
Whose drawers? (Your drawers!)
(Whose drawers?) My drawers, uh!
Whose drawers? (Your drawers!)

She's mine, all mine
I'm her number-one body rocker all of the time
Whose drawers? (Your drawers!)
She's mine, all mine
You better find a brand new bag 'cause these is my drawers
Take it home

Hey, hey, hey, hey...

​The Time

The Time grew from the seeds of the Minneapolis music scene in the early 1980’s, galvanized by the creative drive and commercial success of rock-soul juggernaut Prince. The band began as the fruit of a wager Prince made with band leader Morris Day over the song “Partyup” (originally by a band called Enterprise). After the song’s success, Prince agreed to help Morris put together a band.

The nucleus of The Time consisted of drummer Jellybean Johnson, keyboardists Jimmy Jam and Monte Moir, and bassist Terry Lewis, pulled from their local band Flyte Tyme. Guitar demigod Jesse Johnson endeavored to join Prince’s band, but that band didn’t need a guitarist, so he shuffled into The Time’s lineup. Jerome Benton was a promoter from the aforementioned band Enterprise, and was eventually brought on as a comic foil to Morris Day for their stage act.

The band’s debut self-titled album featured two Top 10 R&B hits with “Get It Up” and “Cool.” Their follow-up What Time Is It? delivered an even higher chart peak with “777-9311”. But the band truly hit their stride once featured in Prince’s blockbuster music film Purple Rain. Their songs “Jungle Love” and “The Bird” from the film would become huge R&B and dance hits and propel their third album Ice Cream Castle to #3 on the R&B charts.
