Storm in a Teacup Lyrics

Come on come on baby
Let me show you what I'm talking about (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)
You try to be a lady
But your walkin' like a sour kraut (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)
Looka looka lika lika
Like you want to get some (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)
If you never tell a lie
Then you never have to play dumb (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)

Dirty baby time you're gonna take some
Pretty baby love you're gonna make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some

Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitation
Little lady what a reputation
Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the
Masses, dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Every other day you say
You're gonna have to bury 'em (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)
Famous last words
Spoken from the laserium (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)
Descendants had to record
Sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)
You can take the a train
But you're gonna have to lie low (whoop-tay-whoop-tay-git-ta-gala-goop-ta)

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the
Masses, dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Dirty baby time you're gonna take some
Pretty baby love you're gonna make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some

Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitation
Little lady what a reputation
Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know we may never get
Out of, here
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

What is the Meaning of Storm in a Teacup?

Ah, the Chili Peppers, always serving up a spicy brew of metaphorical musings! "Storm in a Teacup" is no exception. This tune is all about a woman who's larger than life, causing ripples wherever she goes 🌊. She's got the world on a string yet she's seemingly trapped in her own 'teacup' - perhaps her own ego or self-created drama. The band acknowledges her ability to 'straddle the atmosphere' and 'battle the masses', but they also hint at her duplicity with lines about faking tears and having a shady reputation 😎. It seems our lady is quite the tempest, stirring up a storm even in something as small as a teacup!
