Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight Lyrics
I said a hip hop a hippie a hippieTo the hip hip hop, a you don't stopThe rockin' till the bang man woogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogity beatNow what you hear is not a test, I'm rappin to the beatAnd me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feetSee I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say helloA to the black, to the white, the red and the brown, the purple and yellowBut first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the woogieSay up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogieLet's rock, You don't stopRock the riddle that'll make your body rockWell so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends alongAnd next on the mike is my man HankCome on, hank, sing that songCheck it out, I'm the c-a-s an the o-v-aAnd the rest is f-l-yYa see I go by the code of the doctor of the mixAnd these reasons I'll tell ya whyYa see I'm six foot one and I'm tons of funAnd I dress to a TYa see I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciouslyI got bodyguards, I got two big carsThat definitely ain't the wackI got a Lincoln Continental and a Sunroof CadillacSo after school, I take a dip in the pool,Which really is on the wallI got a color tv so I can seeThe Knicks play basketballHear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cardsMore money, a than a sucker could ever spendBut I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the ruckerNot a dime til I made it againEverybody goYa go hotel motelWhatcha gonna do today (Say what?)'Cause I'm gon get a fly girl gonna get some spankinDrive off in a def ojEverybody go, hotel, motel Holiday InnYa see if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friendA Master Gee, am I mellow?It's on you so what you gonna do?Well it's on n n on n on on n onThe beat don't stop until the break of dawnI said m-a-s, a t-e-r, a G with a double eI said I go by the unforgettable nameOf the man they call the Master GeeWell, my name is known all over the worldBy all the foxy ladies and the pretty girlsI'm goin' down in historyAs the baddest brother that ever could beNow I'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lowsThe beat starts gettin' into your toesYa start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feetAnd movin your body while you're sittin' in your seatAnd the damn ya start doin the freakI said damn, a right a outta your seatThen ya throw your hands high in the airYa rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriereYa rockin to the beat without a careWith the sureshot M.C.s for the affairNow, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gangBut I rap to the beat just the sameI got a little face and a pair of brown eyeAll I'm here to

rockin' till the bang man n-the-boogie up jumped the boogieTo the rhythm of the boogity beatSkiddlee beebop a we rock a scoobie dooAnd guess what america we love youCause ya rock and ya roll with so much soulYou could rock till you're a hundred and one years oldI don't mean to brag I don't mean to boastBut we like hot butter on our breakfast toastRock it up baby bubbahBaby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogieTo the beat beat, it's so uniqueCome on everybody and dance to the beatI said a hip hop the hippie the hippieTo the hip hip hop, a you don't stopRock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bangThe boogie to the boogie da beatI said I can't wait til the end of the weekWhen I'm rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beatAnd attempt to raise your body heatJust blow your mind so that you can't speakAnd do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feetAnd let it change up to a dance called the freakAnd when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beatRest a little while so ya don't get weakI know a man named hankHe has more rhymes than a serious bankSo come on hank sing that songTo the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bongWell, I'm imp the dimp the ladies pimpThe women fight for my delightBut I'm the grandmaster with the three MC'sThat shock the house for the young ladiesAnd when you come inside, into the frontYou do the freak, spank, and do the bumpAnd when the sucker MC's try to prove a pointWe're treacherous trio, we're the serious jointA from sun to sun and from day to dayI sit down and write a brand new rhymeBecause they say that miracles never ceaseI've created a devastating masterpieceI'm gonna rock the mike til you can't resistEverybody, I say it goes like thisWell I was comin' home late one dark afternoonA reporter stopped me for a interviewShe said she's heard stories and she's heard fablesThat I'm vicious on the mike and the turntablesThis young reporter I did adoreSo I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did beforeShe said damn fly guy I'm in love with youThe Casanova legend must have been trueI said by the way baby what's your nameSaid I go by the name of Lois laneAnd you could be my boyfriend you surely canJust let me quit my boyfriend called supermanI said he's a fairy I do supposeFlyin' through the air in pantyhoseHe may be very sexy or even cuteBut he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suitI said you need a man who's got finesseAnd his whole name across his chestHe may be able to fly all through the nightBut can he rock a party til the early lightHe can't satisfy you with his little wormBut I can bust you out with my super spermI go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do itAnd I'm here an I'm there I'm big bang hank, I'm everywhereJust throw your hands up in the airAnd party hardy like you just don't careLet's do it don't stop y'all a tick a tock y'all you don't stopGo hotel motel what you gonna do today(say what)I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def ojEverybody go hotel motel holiday innYou say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friendI say skip, dive, what can I sayI can't fit em all inside my ojSo I just take half and bust them outI give the rest to master gee so he could shock the houseIt was twelve o'clock one Friday nightI was rockin to the beat and feeling all rightEverybody was dancing on the floorDoin all the things they never did beforeAnd then this fly fly girl with a sexy leanShe came into the bar, she came into the sceneAs she traveled deeper inside the roomAll the fellas checked out her white SasoonsShe came up to the table, looked into my eyesThen she turned around and shook her behindSo I said to myself, it's time for me to releaseMy vicious rhyme I call my masterpieceAnd now people in the house this is just for youA little rap to make you boogalooNow the group ya hear is called phase twoAnd let me tell ya something we're a helluva crewOnce a week we're on the streetJust a-cuttin' the jams and making it freeFor you to party ya got to have the moviesSo we'll get right down and give you the grooveFor you to dance you gotta be hypeSo we'll get right down for you tonightNow the system's on and the girls are thereYa definitely have a rockin affairBut let me tell ya somethin there's still one factThat to have a party ya got to have a rapSo when the party's over you're makin it homeAnd tryin to sleep before the break of dawnAnd while ya sleeping ya start to dreamAnd thinkin how ya danced on the disco sceneMy name appears in your mindYeah, a name you know that was right on timeIt was phase two just a doin a doRockin ya down cause ya know we couldTo the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freakCome alive girls get on your feetTo the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beatTo the double beat beat that it makes ya freakTo the rhythm of the beat that says ya go onOn n on into the break of dawnNow I got a man comin on right nowHe's guaranteed to throw downHe goes by the name of Wonder MikeCome on Wonder Mike do what ya likeLike a can of beer that's sweeter than honeyLike a millionaire that has no moneyLike a rainy day that is not wetLike a gamblin fiend that does not betLike Dracula with out his fangsLike the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bangLike collard greens that don't taste goodLike a tree that's not made out of woodLike goin up and not comin downIs just like the beat without the sound no soundTo the beat beat, ya do the freakEverybody just rock and dance to the beatHave you ever went over a friends house to eatAnd the food just ain't no goodI mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushedAnd the chicken tastes like woodSo you try to play it off like you think you canBy saying that you're fullAnd then your friend says momma he's just being politeHe ain't finished uh uh that's bullSo your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lieAnd you say that you already ateAnd your friend says man there's plenty of foodSo he piles some more on your plateWhile the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreaminOf the moment that it's time to leaveAnd then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottinInto something that looks like cheeseOh so you say that's it I got to leave this placeI don't care what these people thinkI'm just sittin here makin myself nauseousWith this ugly food that stinksSo you bust out the door while it's still closedStill sick from the food you ateAnd then you run to the store for quick reliefFrom a bottle of KaopectateAnd then you call your friend two weeks laterTo see how he has beenAnd he says I understand about the foodBaby bubbah but we're still friendsWith a hip hop the hippie to the hippieThe hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockinTo the bang bang boogieSay up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beatI say hank can ya rockCan ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stopCan ya hip me to the shoobie dooI said come on, mate, make the people moveI go to the halls and then ring the bellBecause I am the man with the clienteleAnd if ya ask me why I rock so wellA big bang, I got clienteleAnd from the time I was only six years oldI never forgot what I was toldIt was the best advice that I ever hadIt came from my wise dear old dadHe said sit down punk I wanna talk to youAnd don't say a word until I'm throughNow there's a time to laugh a time to cryA time to live and a time to dieA time to break and a time to chillTo act civilized or act real I'llBut whatever ya do in your lifetimeYa never let a MC steal your rhymeSo from sixty six til this very dayI'll always remember what he had to saySo when the sucker MC's try to chump my styleI let them know that I'm versatileI got style finesse and a little black bookThat's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna lookBut there's a thing that separates you from meAnd that's called originalityBecause my rhymes are on from what you heardI didn't even bite and not a god d--m wordAnd I say a little more later on tonightSo the sucker MC's can bite all nightA tick a tock y'all a beat beat y'allA lets rock y'all ya don't stopYa go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)Ya say I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankinDrive off in a def ojEverybody go hotel motel holiday innYa say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friendsA like that y'all to the beat y'allBeat beat y'all ya don't stopA master gee am I mellow?It's on you so whatcha gonna doWell like Johnny Carson on the late showA like frankie croker in stereoWell like the barkay's singin holy ghostThe sounds to throw down they're played the mostIt's like my man captain skyWhose name he earned with his super spermWe rock and we don't stopGet off y'all I'm here to give you whatcha gotTo the beat that it makes you freakAnd come alive girl get on your feetA like a perry mason without a caseLike farrah fawcett without her faceLike the barkays on the mikeLike gettin right down for you tonightLike movin your body so ya don't know howRight to the rhythm and throw downLike comin alive to the master geeThe brother who rocks so viciouslyI said the age of one my life begunAt the age of two I was doin the doAt the age of three it was you and meRockin to the sounds of the master geeAt the age of four I was on the floorGivin all the freaks what they bargained forAt the age of five I didn't take no jiveWith the master gee it's all the way liveAt the age of six I was a
