i was searching for missy elliott's lyrics for "work it" because there's a line i can't decipher. there's a whole controversy now on whether it's actually "fremme neppa venette" which is apparently danish for promoting um going down south on a girl... vs. it being "put my bang down flip it and reverse it" backwards, literally.

Here are the lyrics:

DJ, please pick up your phone
I?m on the request line

This is a Missy Elliott one-time exclusive (Come on)

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette

I?d like to get to know ya so I could show ya
Put the p**** on ya like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya
Your girl actin? stank then call me over
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don?t or you will or won?t ya
Go downtown and eat it like a vulture
See my hips and my tips, don?t ya
See my a** and my lips, don?t ya
Lost a few pounds and my whips for ya
This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta
Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Sex me so good I say blah-blah-blah
Work it, I need a glass of water
Boy, oh, boy, it?s good to know ya

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette (Come on)

If you a fly gal get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did
Boy, lift it up, let?s make a toast-a
Let?s get drunk, that?s gon? bring us closer
Don?t I look like a Halle Berry poster
See the Belvedere playin? tricks on ya
Girlfriend wanna be like me, never
You won?t find a b**** that?s even better
I make you hot as Las Vegas weather
Listen up close while I take it backwards
I?m not a prostitute, but I could give you what you want

I love your braids and your mouth full of floss
Love the way my a** go bum-bum-bum-bum
Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
And think you can handle this gadong-a-dong-dong
Take my thong off and my a** go vroom
Cut the lights off so you see what I could do

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette (Come on)

Boys, boys, all type of boys
Black, white, Puerto Rican, Chinese boys
Why-thai,-thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai
Rock-thai,-thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai
Girl, girl, get that cash
If it?s 9 to 5 or shakin? your a**
Ain?t no shame, ladies do your thang
Just make sure you ahead of the game
Just ?cause I got a lot of fame supa
Prince couldn?t get me change my name papa
Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir
Picture black sayin?, "Oh, yes a master"
Picture Lil? Kim dating a pastor
Minnie Me and Big Ren can out last ya
Who is the best, I don?t have to ask ya
When I come out you won?t even matter
Why you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
So you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
As the drummer boy go ba-rom-pop-pom-pom
Give you some-some-some of this Cinnabun

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my bang down, flip it and reverse it
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya
It?s your fremme neppa venette
It?s your fremme neppa venette (Come on)

To my fellas
I like the way you work that
To my ladies
You sure know how to work that
