Ice cube in the glass house, headed for the sto'
To get a beer that's better than the rest

In the black can, so won'tcha grab a six pack and
Get your girl in the mood quicker
Get your jimmy thicker, with st. ide's malt liquor

Hug and kiss your girl and screw the cap off the top
And get a taste of the beer that makes you tingle
And just remember that jingle

Here's something that sweepin the nation by surprise
It's that fabulous malt liquor they call st. ide's
