Machoman - “Wookie Wookie”

Bubbling bubbling super beans
Splashing on my shirt and jeans
More and more baby give me more
Mixing trixing super drinks
I’ve got all the vitamins
More and more baby give me more

Machoman’s official web site is not to be missed, in particular Machoman Karaoke. You can buy the album on Amazon. (Thanks, Tom!)
