The Sugarhill Gang
Rapper's Delight
Songwriters: Edwards, Bernard; Rodgers, NileIt was the best advice that I ever had
That I'm vicious on the mike and the turntables
Ya say if your girl starts actin' up then you take her friends
Go hotel motel what you gonna do today
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece
Like goin' up and not comin' down
I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right
And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
And I say a little more later on tonight
From a bottle of Kaopectate
And then your friend says momma he's just being polite
Like a tree that's not made out of wood
But can he rock a party till the early light
(Say what?)
And the chicken tastes like wood
To act civilized or act real ill
Get off y'all I'm here to give you whatcha got
To the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
A little rap to make you boogaloo
Just throw your hands up in the air
And then this fly, fly girl with a sexy lean
We're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
And from the time I was only six years old
'Cause I'm guaranteed to make you rock
And when the sucker MCs try to prove a point
Come alive y'all gimme what ya got
I said one two three four tell me Wonder Mike what are you waitin' for?
Well like the Barkay's singin' holy ghost
He may be very sexy or even cute
The purple and yellow
Now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
I give the rest to Master Gee so he could shock the house
Of the moment that it's time to leave
A from sun to sun and from day to day
The rock it to the bang bang boogie
Because my rhymes are on from what you heard
But I brought two friends along
Skiddlee beebop a we rock a Scoobie Doo
To the rhythm of the boogie the beat
And now people in the house this is just for you
I said you need a man who's got finesse
While the stinky foods steamin' your mind starts to dreamin'
I got style finesse and a little black book
Come on everybody and dance to the beat
Like a gamblin' fiend that does not bet
And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
Rock the riddle that will make your body rock
The rock it to the bang, bang boogie
So I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did before
Rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang, bang
Say up jumped the boogie
Then she turned around and shook her behind
He's guaranteed to throw down
He may be able to fly all through the night
And thinkin' how ya danced on the disco scene
Ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today?
Come on Wonder Mike do what ya like
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
But there's a thing that separates you from me
Ya definitely have a rockin' affair
And attempt to raise your body heat
I got a color TV so I can see
The casanova legend must have been true
But whatever ya do in your lifetime
The sounds to throw down they're played the most
You say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
Like a rainy day that is not wet
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Then ya throw your hands high in the air
An I'm here an I'm there I'm big bang hank, I'm everywhere
And then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin'
Ya rockin' to the beat without a care
I don't care what these people think
So you pile some more on your plate
Rock rock yall throw it on the floor
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
Doin' all the things they never did before
At the age of five I didn't take no jive
'Cause all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
I've created a devastating masterpiece
Is just like the beat without the sound no sound
She came into the bar, she came into the scene
And party hardy like you just don't care
Now the system's on and the girls are there
The brother who rocks so viciously
I didn't even bite and not a god dam word
Hear me talkin' 'bout checkbooks, credit cards
I'll put tickets in your behind
The boogie to the boogie da beat
So you try to play it off like you think you can
(Say what?)
But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
Now I got a man comin' on right now
It's like my man captain sky
To the rhythm of the boogie da bang, bang da bong
But I can bust you out with my super sperm
And when you come inside, into the front
Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
Just a cuttin' the jams and making it free
It's on you so whatcha gonna do
Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
Rockin' ya down cause ya know we could
A like Frankie Croker in stereo
She said damn fly guy I'm in love with you
A time to live and a time to die
I know a man named Hank
Ya see I'm six foot one and I'm tons of fun
A come alive, ya'll a gimme what ya got
And let it change up to a dance called the freak
So after school, I take a dip in the pool
For you to dance you gotta get hype
Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
Beat beat ya'll ya don't stop
Say up jumped the boogie
For you to party ya got to have the movies
Come on, Hank, sing that song
At the age of eight I was really great
So come on Hank sing that song
I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a Def Oj
Now I'm feelin' the highs and ya feelin' the lows
Like a hot buttered de pop, de pop, de pop
Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
A sayin' on n' n 'on n' on on n' on
Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Like movin' your body so ya don't know how
All I'm here to do ladies is hypnotize
A let's rock ya'll ya don't stop
'Cause every night you see I had a date
My name appears in your mind
Everybody was dancin' on the floor
'Cause I'm a helluva man when I'm on the mike
I can't fit 'em all inside my Oj
I go to the halls and then ring the bell
To the beat beat, it's so unique
Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere
I said I go by the unforgettable name
Check it out, I'm the C A S N the O V A
And his whole name across his chest
So from sixty six till this very day
Right to the rhythm and throw down
But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
Said I go by the name of Lois Lane
You could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
And these reasons I'll tell ya why
On n on into the break of dawn
To the beat beat, ya do the freak
Ya see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
Have you ever went over a friends house to eat
Like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
Baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie
At the age of six I was a pickin' up sticks
Well like Johnny Carson on the late show
'Cause every night I had a party rhyme
And you say that you already ate
And next on the mike is my man Hank
Master Gee, am I mellow?
Still sick from the food you ate
As the baddest rapper there could ever be
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
He cant satisfy you with his little worm
Oh so you say that's it I got to leave this place
That definitely ain't the wack
At the age of seven I was rockin'
A time to break and a time to chill
But first I gotta bang, bang the boogie to the boogie
I'm gonna freak ya here I'm gonna freak ya there
The hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin'
Goin' on n' n' on n' on on n' on
And the food just ain't no good
Like the Barkays on the mike
Well so far you've heard my voice
I am the definite feast delight
Like collard greens that don't taste good
I say skip, dive, what can I say
I guess by now you can take a hunch
I'm gonna rock the mike till you can't resist
This young reporter I did adore
A like a Perry Mason without a case
I said damn, right outta your seat
Like Dracula with out his fangs
And you could be my boyfriend you surely can
Singin' on n' n' on n' on n' on
With a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
I said one two three four come on girls get on the floor
I said he's a fairy I do suppose
Rappin' to the beat my stick was fixed
Are gonna try to move your feet
That to have a party ya got to have a rap
Not a dime till I made it again
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style
To the double beat beat that makes you freak
Like a millionaire that has no money
Just take of their clothes to the beat the beat
So you bust out the door while it's still closed
Say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
And guess what, America we love you
(Say what?)
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
So I said to myself, it's time for me to release
As she traveled deeper inside the room
I am the definite feast delight
At the age of nine I was right on time
A like that ya'll to the beat ya'll
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
Like Farrah Fawcett without her face
Into something that looks like cheese
Drive off in a def Oj
I said by the way baby what's your name
I never forgot what I was told
Just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
In heaven dontcha know I went off
Singin' on n' n' on n' on n' on
And I dress to at
A reporter stopped me for a interview
Like gettin' right down for you tonight
I'll always remember what he had to say
We rock and we don't stop
To the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
So we'll get right down and give you the groove
See I am Wonder Mike and I like to say hello
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it , do it
At the age of four I was on the floor
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
Now the group ya hear is called phase two
Everybody, I say it goes like this
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
A Master Gee am I mellow?
I said the age of one my life begun
He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
And if ya ask me why I rock so well
It's on you so what you gonna do
And movin' your body while you're sittin' in your seat
Givin' all the freaks what they bargained for
More money than a sucker could ever spend
Well, my name is known all over the world
Now what you hear is not a test I'm rappin' to the beat
I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast
To the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
At the age of three it was you and me
I said a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
But that's okay I still keep in stride
Let's do it don't stop ya'll a tick a tock ya'll you don't stop
Because they say that miracles never cease
And me, the groove and my friends
By sayin' that your'e full
He has more rhymes than a serious bank
Pop da pop pop ya don't dare stop
Whose name he earned with his super sperm
I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere
'Cause I'm a helluva man when I'm on the mike
I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
And your friend says man there's plenty of food
Baby bubbah but we're still friends
Come alive girls get on your feet
I say Hank can ya rock
Come to the Master Gee you see
So i just take half and bust them out
I got right on down to the beat you see
And then you run to the store for quick relief
And tryin' to sleep before the break of dawn
Rest a little while so ya don't get weak
Because I am the man with the clientele
With this ugly food that stinks
That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
You do the freak, spank, and do the bump
And find that I am the baby of the bunch
A saying on n' n' n n' on on n' on
The Knicks play basketball
I said M A S T E R AG with a double E
So we'll get right down for you tonight
Ya say I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin'
She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
And the damn ya start doin' the freak
Everybody go hotel, motel Holiday Inn
Once a week we're on the street
Well, I'm imp the dimp the ladies pimp
Drive off in a Def Oj
And come alive girl get on your feet
Everybody go hotel motel Holiday Inn
It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
I dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
That shock the house for the young ladies
Singin' on n' n' on n' on on n' on
To the bang bang boogie
With the Master Gee it's all the way live
Rock it up baby bubbah
A tick a tock ya'll a beat beat ya'll
And he says I understand about the food
I mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
The women fight for my delight
It came from my wise dear old dad
To the hip hip hop, a you don't stop
To the beat that it makes you freak
Let's rock, you don't stop
So when the party's over you're makin' it home
And the rest is F L Y
'Cause ya rock and ya roll with so much soul
With the sureshot MCs for the affair
And then you call your friend two weeks later
To the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
Ya see I got more clothes
Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop
All the fellas checked out her white sasoons
When I'm rappin' to the rhythm of a groovy beat
And don't say a word until I'm through
Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
'Cause I'm one of a kind and ill shock your mind
I let them know that I'm versatile
Well I was comin' home late one dark afternoon
Which really is on the wall
Well it's on n' on n' on on n' on
Singin' on n' n' on n' on on n' on
But let me tell ya somethin' there's still one fact
And let me tell ya somethin' we're a helluva crew
But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
Of the man they call the Master Gee
But I rap to the beat just the same
Than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciously
The hip hip hop, a you don't stop
At the age of two I was doin' the do
I said I can't wait till the end of the week
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
To see how he has been
He said sit down punk I wanna talk to you
So the sucker MCs can bite all night
Ya never let a MCs steal your rhyme
It was phase two just a doin' a do
Rockin to the sounds of the Master Gee
Everybody go hotel motel Holiday Inn
Ya start poppin' ya fingers and stompin' your feet
I'm goin' down in history
Like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
A big bang, I got clientele
Ya say I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin'
He ain't finished uh uh that's bull
I said come on make the make the people move
I got a Lincoln' continental and a sunroof Cadillac
Like comin' alive to the Master Gee
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
And while ya sleepin' ya start to dream
Ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today
Gettin' right on down makin' all the girls
And that's called originality
