Here are the lyrics for 'The Real Slim Shady'. These are the ones that will be used in the competition on Monday as they are swear-free!

Eminem - 'The Real Slim Shady'

May I have your attention please (x2)
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up
I repeat
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up
We're gonna have a problem here

Ya'll act like you never seen a white person before
Jaws all on the floor like Pam when Tommy burst in the door
started whoopin her ass worst than before
they first get divorced sewing her over furniture (scream)
It's the return of the
(all wait, no way, your kidding, he didn't just say what I think he did,
did he?)
And Dr Dre said..
Nothing you idiots Dr Dre's dead he's locked in my basement (haha)
Feminist women loved Eminem
chicka chicka chicka slim shady I'm sick of him
look at him walking around grabing his you know what,
looking at you know who (yea but he's so cute thou)
Yeah I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
but no worse than what's going on in your parents bedrooms
Sometimes I wanna get on TV and just let loose,
but can't, but its cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose
my mamas on your lips my mamas on your lips
and if I'm lucky u might give it a little kiss
and that's the message that we deliver to little kids
and expect them not to know what a women's ******** is
of course there gonna know what intercourse is
by the time they hit 4th grade,
they got the discovery channel don't they?
We ain't nothing but mammals, well some of us cannibals
who cut other people open like antelopes
But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes
then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope
But if you feel like I feel I got the antidote
Women wet your panty hoes, and sing the chorus and it gooooesss

(Chorus x2)
I'm Slim Shady
Yes I'm the real shady
All you other Slim Shadys
Are just imitating
So wont the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up, Please stand up
Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records
Well I do, so **** and **** you too
You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can't even stomach you let alone stand me
(but Slim what if u win wouldn't it be weird?)
Why? So you guyz can just lie to get me here?
So you can sit me here next to Britney Spears
Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs
For I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
And remark you over to who she gave **** to first
Little ***** put me on blast on MTV
(yeah he's cute but I think he's married to Kim, hehe)
I should download an audio on mp3
And show the whole world how you gave Eminem ** (scream)
I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups all you do is annoy me
So I have been sent here to destroy you
And there's a million of us just like me
Who cuss like me
Who just don't give a **** like me
Who dress like me
Walk, Talk and act like me
It just might be the next best thing
But not quite me

(Chorus x2)
I'm Slim Shady
Yes I'm the real Shady
All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
So wont the real Slim Shady please stand up
Please stand up
Please stand up

I'm like a head trip to listen to
Cause I'm only giving you things
you joke about with your friends inside your living room
The only difference is I got the balls to say it In front of y'all
And I don't got to be false or sugar coated at all
I just get on the mic and spit it
And whether you like to admit it
I'm just better than 90% of you rappers out there
Then you wonder how can kidz eat up albums like
Cos its funny the rate I'm going when I'm 30
I'll be the only person in the nursing home flirting
Pinching nurses asses when I'm ******* off
Said I'm jerking but this whole bag of viagra isn't working
In every single person is a Slim Shady lurking
He could be working at Burger King spitting on your onion rings
Or in the parking lot circling screaming I don't give a ****
With his windows down and system up
So will the real Slim Shady please stand up
And put one of those fingers on each hand up
And be proud to be out of your mind and out of control
And one more time, loud as you can
How does it go?

Chorus x4

Ah, yes there's a Slim Shady in all of us
Let's all stand up
