Rappers Delight

The Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's delight - 1979

I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie

To the hip hip hop, a you dont stop

The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie

To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

Now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat

And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet

See i am wonder mike and i like to say hello

To the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow

But first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie

Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie

Let's rock, you dont stop

Rock the riddle that will make your body rock

Well so far youve heard my voice but i brought two friends along

And next on the mike is my man hank

Come on, hank, sing that song

Check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a

And the rest is f-l-y

Ya see i go by the code of the doctor of the mix

And these reasons i'll tell ya why

Ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun

And i dress to a t

Ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously

I got bodyguards, i got two big cars

That definitely aint the wack

I got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac

So after school, i take a dip in the pool

Which really is on the wall

I got a color tv so i can see

The knicks play basketball

Hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards

More money than a sucker could ever spend

But i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker

Not a dime til i made it again

Ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)

Ya say im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin

Drive off in a def oj

Everybody go, hotel motel holiday inn

Say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend

Master gee, am I mellow

Its on you so what you gonna do

Well it's on n on n on on n on

The beat dont stop until the break of dawn

I said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e

I said i go by the unforgettable name

Of the man they call the master gee

Well, my name is known all over the world

By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls

I'm goin down in history

As the baddest rapper there could ever be

Now i'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lows

The beat starts gettin into your toes

Ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet

And movin your body while youre sittin in your seat

And the damn ya start doin the freak

I said damn, right outta your seat

Then ya throw your hands high in the air

Ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere

Ya rockin to the beat without a care

With the sureshot m.c.s for the affair

Now, im not as tall as the rest of the gang

But i rap to the beat just the same

I dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes

All im here to do ladies is hypnotize

Singin on n n on n on n on

The beat dont stop until the break of dawn

Singin on n n on n on on n on

Like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie

Pop da pop pop ya dont dare stop

Come alive yall gimme what ya got

I guess by now you can take a hunch

And find that i am the baby of the bunch

'but that's okay i still keep in stride

Cause all i'm here to do is just wiggle your behind

Singin on n n on n on n on

The beat dont stop until the break of dawn

Singin on n n on n on on n on

Rock rock yall throw it on the floor

Im gonna freak ya here im gonna feak ya there

Im gonna move you outta this atmosphere

Cause im one of a kind and ill shock your mind

Ill put t-t-tickets in your behind

I said 1-2-3-4, come on girls get on the floor

A-come alive, yall a-gimme what ya got

Cause im guaranteed to make you rock

I said 1-2-3-4 tell me wonder mike what are you waitin for?

I said a hip hop the hippie to the hippie

The hip hip hop, a you dont stop

The rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie

To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

Skiddlee beebop a we rock a scoobie doo

And guess what america we love you

Cause ya rock and ya roll with so much soul

You could rock till you're a hundred and one years old

I dont mean to brag i dont mean to boast

But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast

Rock it up baby bubbah

Baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie

To the beat beat, its so unique

Come on everybody and dance to the beat
