Tom Tom Club.........What are they saying????

[swerzer]

I always loved the song "Wordy Rappinghood" by the Tom Tom Club, but I've often wondered ..........what the heck are they saying in the chorus? Is it just useless drivel or are they actual words??
I hear "Yipee Yi Ki Yay", but can't make out anything else.

Can't remember what I had for lunch, but I can remember nonsensical stuff like this for years! Go figure... :D

As far as I know it's just a bunch of syllables strung together. Sure is catchy, though!
