Honda commercial song

I like the melody of the Honda commercial where a family is riding and each of the kids says a line of a song, the mom sings "I belong to you," looking at her husband, and he says, "you belong to me," and the kids finish the song.

I can't make out what the lines the kids sing are, does anybody know? I can make out "buddy holly," but it means nothing to me.

Thanks.

And yes, I have more to do than sing commercials.

"Buddy Holly"

What's with these homies, dissing my girl?
Why do they gotta front?
What did we ever do to these guys
That made them so violent?
Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Oo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care bout that

Don't you ever fear, I'm always near
I know that you need help
Your tongue is twisted, your eyes are slit
You need a guardian
Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

Oo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care bout that
don't care bout that

Bang, bang a knock on the door
Another big bang and you're down on the floor
Oh no! What do we do?
Don't look now but I lost my shoe
I can't run and I can't kick
What's a matter babe are you feeling sick?
what's a matter, what's a matter, what's a matter you?
What's a matter babe, are you feeling blue? oh-oh!
And that's for all time
And that's for all time

Oo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly
Oh-oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore
I don't care what they say about us anyway
I don't care bout that
I don't care bout that
I don't care bout that
I don't care bout that

I was going to teach it to my little grandkids (10 & 4), but the word "homies" that I thought heard in the commercial really was "homies" -

I understand now why blacks are a little upset that their stuff is being copied (stolen) by whites. If I were black I would be pretty damned mad that Honda gave this to white kids, or maybe not. I just don't know. It seems offensive, but if they paid Weezer, all well and good, and everyone must be okay with it.

Blacks who read this, let me know how you feel about it. I truly would like your opinion, because mine might be wrong. But I really like this tune, and now I know the words have meaning to you... and I can understand why.
