Somebody, a-somebody if you wanna party say party, say, "Party"
(Party!)
Aay, "Party"
(Party!)
A-C'mon
Heh heh, heh whoo!
Ah yeah
If you wanna party and that's a fact somebody say. "And you know that"
(And you know that!)
[All]
We don't care if you're 8 to 10
Or if you're a senior citizen
Because we got a beat that just won't end
So you better get ready to rock my friend!
You see, we got some news
That you can use
An offer that you can't refuse
We're givin' up honey, and you got to come
Because you're the one!
Red, yellow, black, white, or brown
In our own way we can all get down
So just take your time and enjoy yourself
And you'll rock as good as anyone else
A-come on go to it, put your body into it
If the feelin' is good then you might as well do it
See it makes no sense a-just standin' around
Just boogie to the beat of the funky sound
You don't rock with us, you won't have a ball
And we might as well didn't rock at all
You see we can't rock if you don't have fun
Because you're the one that's number one
Now raise your hand up above your head
If you agree what I said
Then writhe your hands all in the air
Somebody say, "Oh yeah"
(Oh yeah!)
Ha ha ha ha!
Flash! One time!
[Melle Mel]
Melle Mel with the clientele
I'm gonna rock your chime and ring your bell
See I'm so bad and I'm so light
To write a rhyme on a dime to make the world turn twice
[Mr.Ness]
And I'm Mr. Ness, that rock the best
And I'm ready to rock at your request
Go on, go on with your bad self
Raheim is gonna do the rest
[Raheim]
So my name is Raheim
I'm a son of a queen
I'm the king of my castle
Don't give me no hassle
Young ladies in the place, put me on
When I'm a part of your life, you can never go wrong
[Kid Creole]
You say at first my name was Denny Den
The secret weapon, the master plan
I'm slick, I'm cool, I'm solid gold
They call me the Kid Creole
[Cowboy]
I'm the C.O.W.B.O.Y. (why)
The man's so bad that you can't deny
And when you ask the cowboy to play
I'm Cowboy, I never ran away
[All]
Grandmaster, cut faster
Than any known, stone to the bone
Full-grown he's a one of a kind
And Flash is gonna rock your mind, huh
Flash, two times
Beep beep, you in the crew, hold it
Why don't you find somebody and...party!
I like this part
Get down
Whoo! Yeah, alright, alright
Quickly now, quickly now
The bass was in your face
The highs that make your nature rise
Young ladies in the place
Feel the highs, feel the bass
If you wanna rock till the break of dawn somebody say, "Come on"
(Come on!)
[All]
Melle Mel, right on time
Taurus the bull is my Zodiac sign
And I'm Mr Ness and I'm ready to go
And I go by the sign of Scorpio
My name is Raheim, I don't like to fuss
My Zodiac sign is Aquarius
The Kid Creole is the name of mine
And Pisces is my Zodiac sign
And I'm Cowboy and I'm runnin' this show
My Zodiac sign is uh, Virgo
And Grandmaster Flash cuts so on
His Zodiac sign is Capricorn
We gon' try somethin new
(Whatchu gon' do!?)
We gon' try somethin new
(Whatchu gon' do!?)
Now that you heard our names and signs
Put your name into this rhyme
What's your name?
(All yell names)
I say what's your name?
(All yell names)
And gon' try somethin' else
Go for yourself
And gon' try somethin' else
Go for yourself
Gon' try this game, one more time
Now this time use your Zodiac sign
What's your sign!?
(All yell signs)
I say what's your sign!?
(All yell signs)
Ha ha ha ha!
Flash! Two times!
Beep beep, you in the crew, hold it
Hey, why don't you find somebody and...party!
Oohwee oohwee
Here come the kazoos, alright!
No doubt, get down, whoo! Heh
Young ladies in the place
Bass in your face
Ha ha ha ha, ugh
[Melle Mel]
The ladies' action, the coming attraction
The man with the positive reaction
The man with the style on top of the pile
Melle Mel gonna rock a long, long while
I want a Rolls Royce, I got a golden voice
Gonna rock in the mic if you give me the choice
And I rock to the beat and I got it like that
And you couldn't beat that with a baseball bat
[Mr. Ness]
I could play a dumb game and I won't feel ashamed
Because I got more smarts than any slick git
I'm not the butcher, the baker, or the candlestick maker
But I'm Mr. Ness the woman's taker
When I talk to some girls, the girls think I'm dumb
But that's O.k. because they all get some
I'mma tell it like this, you will never discover
That Ness is, is a lover
[Raheim]
I'm the force that keeps you on when you tend to stray
I'm the jester of the joust so heed what I say
This advice I give to you is for you to keep
All I want you to do is just sow what I reap
I'm 100% on all the time
I'm like Earl the Pearl when I'm saying a rhyme
I could get taped on like a magical wand
I make all the ladies' dreams and my word is bond
[Kid Creole]
We're sick, we're bad and powerful
We fill you with five hours full
Of the music that's proclaimed the best
In town to the funky sound
Now clap your hands, do the freak dance
Become a victim of circumstance
'Cause everybody rocks with Flash and the Five
Get down RRAH!
[Mr. Ness]
The butter, the bread
The bread to the butter
C'mon everybody let's rock one and another
Hey ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Nobody rocks the mic like the five of us
[Melle Mel]
You say the bread to the butter and the butter to the bread
Don't be misled by what I say
You say dust to dust and ashes to ashes
'Cause no man cuts are faster than Flash's
You're the one
[Cowboy]
You don't stop and everybody hiphop
You don't stop and then find your [?]
Just clap your hands and get on the go
Then you rock to the beat in stereo
And if you wanna help us get on the go
Scream it out and say, "Ho"
(Ho!)
"Ho"
(Ho!)
You don't stop
And if you wanna rock into the broad daylight
Somebody say, "What it look like"
(What it look like!)
"What it look like"
(What it look like!)
You don't stop
I'm gonna talk about the man that's the real McCoy
No other cool brother than Keith Cowboy
I wear a eight and a half, a 29 waist
A medium shirt take a look at my face
You check out my hair and then you look in my eyes
'Cause all I'm here to do girl is make you hypnotized
Till you hip hop the shoobop doobop take a look on your arm
And check your clock
Let's do it, let's do it
You know you got to do, do it
To the beat, y'all
You don't, you better not
Don't stop that body rock
{*fade*}
