De La Orgee Lyrics

DOVE:
This is De La Orgee...

(Barry White on in the background, various male and female grunting, panting and screaming sounds
Including...)

(It's in there.)
(Say you like it. Tell me you like it.)
(I like it, oh I like it)
(More! More!)
(What's my name? What's my name?)
(Flip over!)
(Mase!)
(On your stomach. Put your face in the pillow.)
(Yes!)
(Seven feet. Seven feet long!)
(Mase: ???)
(Cut it!)
(You like Jimmy? Tell me you like Jimmy, tell me you like Jimmy.)
(I like Jimmy!)
(Scream for Jimmy.)
(I like Jimmy...)

(Cut the damn tape!)
(Cut it!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This interlude is very self-explanatory. Members of the Native Tongue come together for something rather explicit.

Although the 2023 streaming re-release has this interlude, the clean version of the album makes this an instrumental track.

What did De La Soul say about "De La Orgee"?
Genius Answer

Posdnuos told Melody Maker:

“De La Orgee” came about because our producer, Prince Paul from Stetasonic, had this Barry White record with Barry moaning all the way through. So the three of us got into the booth and started moaning and then we got everybody else who was hanging around to come in too. It wasn’t like we had the title and worked towards that – the title came last.
