Bootylicious by Destiny's Child is featured in Hairography, the eleventh episode of Season One. It is sung by the Jane Addams Academy Glee Club, one of New Directions' competitors at Sectionals, when they are invited to perform at McKinley.

After their performance, Rachel tells Will that they appeared better than they actually are because of 'hairography' (choreographed hair movement), a technique that makes the watcher believe that the performers are better singers and dancers than they actually are by drawing attention away from their performance flaws. Will ignores Rachel's warning and tries to use hairography in one of their own performances (Hair/Crazy in Love).

Lyrics[]

Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Shadonda, Can you handle this?
Aphasia, Can you handle this?
Jayelle, Can you handle this?
I don't think they can handle this!
Barely move, we've arrived
Lookin' sexy, lookin' fly
Baddest chicks, chicks inside
DJ, jam tonight

Shadonda:
Spotted me a tender thing
There you are, come on baby
Don't you wanna dance with me
Can you handle, handle me

Jane Addams Academy Girls:
You gotta do much better if you gonna dance with me tonight (Shadonda: Baby!)
You gotta work your jelly if you gonna dance with me tonight (Shadonda: Hee oooh)
Read my lips carefully if you like what you see
Move, groove, prove you can hang with me
By the looks I got you shook up and scared of me
Hook up your seatbelt, it's time for take off

I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this
Cause my body's too bootylicious for ya babe

I don't think you ready for this jelly (Shadonda: Oooh)
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Aphasia: I don't think you're ready!)
I don't think you ready for this

Aphasia with Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya baby

Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Baby, can you handle this?
Baby, can you handle this?
Baby, can you handle this?
I don't think you can handle this, oooh

I'm about to break you off
H-town goin' hard
Lead my hips, slap my thighs
Swing my hair, square my eyes
Lookin' hot, smellin' good
Groovin' like I'm from the hood
Over my shoulder, I blow you a kiss
Can you handle, handle this

I don't think you ready for this jelly (Shadonda: Yeah!)
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe (Shadonda: Eeeeeh)

I don't think you ready for this jelly (Aphasia: I don't think you're ready!)
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Aphasia: No, no!)
I don't think you ready for this

Aphasia with Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe

Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Move your body up and down (Shadonda: Whoo!)
Make your booty touch the ground (Shadonda: Whoo!)
I can't help but wonder why
Is my vibe too vibealacious for you, babe

I shake my jelly at every chance
When I whip with my hips you
Slip into a trance
I'm hoping you can
Handle all this jelly that I have
Now let's cut a rug while we scat some jazz

Paparereahure
Paparereahure
Rereahu
Parererehu
Parererehu
Babababa (Aphasia: Aaaah!)

Jane Addams Academy Girls:
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Aphasia: Eeeee)
I don't think you ready for this (Aphasia: No, oh!)
Cause my body too booty (with Aphasia: 'licious for ya babe!)

I don't think you ready for this jelly (Shadonda: Oooooh) (Aphasia: Oooh)
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Shadonda: For you babe!)
I don't think you ready for this

Aphasia with Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe

Jane Addams Academy Girls:

I don't think you ready for this (Aphasia: Heeeeeeh)

Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe (Aphasia: No no)
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Shadonda: Don't think you're ready, baby, eeh!)
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Aphasia: No, no, no, oh!)
I don't think you ready for this

Shadonda with Jane Addams Academy Girls:
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya baby

Jane Addams Academy Girls:
I don't think you ready for this jelly
I don't think you ready for this jelly (Aphasia: No, no, no oh!)
I don't think you ready for this (Aphasia: I don't think you're ready!)
Cause my body too bootylicious for ya babe (Shadonda: Aaaaaaah!)
