Pepper Box Lyrics By The Peppers

    on the city streets i got the tunes in my box
    i’ll play the chili pepper so the public can rock
    excuse me mister won’t you hear my thought
    i play in a band yeah we’re called the red hots
    out of my way boy i’m afraid not
    i’ve got no time to think and talk
    but this baby rocked out on the spot
    she was a shakin’ and a kickin’ that itty bitty tot
    her pop said no but she just couldn’t stop
    the kid had a case of toddler rock

    but here’s a funky fact that i know is real
    the red hots have baby appeal
    they dig a funky spiel it makes them squeal
    the chili peppers have baby appeal
    the funk mobile is the one we reel
    i’m overjoyed we have baby appeal
    we serve those tots the funkomeal
    i’m overjoyed we have baby appeal

    verse
    we stoke the fire we crank the heat
    four groove dog brothers funkin’ out in the streets
    rockin’ up a storm when who do we meet
    but the hop skip jump up bumpin’ baby de beat
    she was a shaking and a kicking those itty bitty feet
    the next thing you know was she called out her fleet
    five thousand babies rocking out in the street
    well that’s a serious sight i mean and golly gee whizz
    i just can’t tell you how much we dig

    rocking right out for those itty bitty kids rock out

    well here’s a funky fact that i know is real
    the red hots have baby appeal
    they dig a funky spiel it makes them squeal
    i say the peppers have baby appeal
    the funk mobile is the one we reel
    i’m overjoyed we have baby appeal
    we serve those tots in the funkomeal
    i’m overjoyed we have baby appeal so get down

    got the tunes in my box
    baby appeal
    rock out
    play the chili play the chili play the chili
    yes we’re called the redhots

    on the city streets i got the tunes in my box
    i’ll play the chili pepper so the public can rock
    excuse me mister won’t you hear my thought
    i play in a band yeah we’re called the red hots
    out of my way boy i’m afraid not
    i’ve got no time to think and talk
    but this baby rocked out on the spot
    she was a shakin’ and a kickin’ that itty bitty tot
    her pop said no but she just couldn’t stop
    the kid had a case of toddler rock

    but here’s a funky fact that i know is real
    the red hots have baby appeal
    they dig a funky spiel it makes them squeal
    i say the peppers have baby appeal
    the funk mobile is the one we reel
    i’m overjoyed we have baby appeal
    we serve those tots in the funkomeal
    i’m overjoyed we have baby appeal
