[al:Rapper's Delight]
[00:34.84]I said a hip hop,
[00:36.29]Hippie to the hippie,
[00:38.04]The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
[00:39.79]To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie,
[00:41.55]To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.
[00:43.62]Now, what you hear is not a test - I'm rappin' to the beat,
[00:47.73]And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet.
[00:52.09]See, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello,
[00:56.35]To the black, to the white, the red and the brown,
[00:58.78]The purple and yellow. But first, I gotta
[01:00.80]Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie,
[01:03.01]Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie,
[01:05.52]Let's rock, you don't stop,
[01:07.27]Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock.
[01:09.52]Well so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along,
[01:13.47]And the next on the mic is my man Hank,
[01:15.82]C'mon, Hank, sing that song!
[01:17.58]Check it out, I'm the C-A-S-A, the N-O-V-A,
[01:20.08]And the rest is F-L-Y,
[01:22.23]You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix,
[01:24.54]And these reasons I'll tell you why.
[01:26.49]You see, I'm six foot one, and I'm tons of fun
[01:28.70]When I dress to a T,
[01:30.69]You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali
[01:33.21]and I dress so viciously.
[01:35.22]I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
[01:37.63]That definitely ain't the wack,
[01:39.53]I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunfoofed Cadillac.
[01:44.22]So after school I take a dip in the pool,
[01:46.07]Which is really on the wall,
[01:48.18]I got a colour TV, so I can see
[01:50.50]The Knicks play basketball. Hear me talk about
[01:53.00]Checkbooks, credit cards, mo' money
[01:54.65]Than a sucker could ever spend,
[01:56.80]But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum form the Rucker
[01:59.12]Not a dime 'til I made it again.
[02:00.67]Everybody go，Ho-tel, Mo-tel, Whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
[02:05.44]'Cos I'm a get a fly girl,
[02:06.75]Gonna get some spank n' drive off in a def OJ. Everybody go
[02:09.39]Ho-tel, Mo-tel, Holiday Inn,
[02:13.92]Say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend.
[02:18.28]Master Gee! My mellow!
[02:20.38]It's on to you, so whatcha gonna do?
[02:22.43]Well, it's on'n'n'on'n'on on'n'on,
[02:24.78]The beat don't stop until the break of dawn.
[02:26.73]I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E,
[02:30.84]I said I go by the unforgettable name
[02:33.14]Of the man they call the Master Gee.
[02:34.89]Well, my name is known all over the world
[02:37.44]By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls.
[02:39.79]I'm goin' down in history
[02:41.69]As the baddest rapper there ever could be.
[02:44.04]Now I'm feelin' the highs and you're feelin' the lows,
[02:46.19]The beat starts gettin' into your toes
[02:48.29]You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet
[02:50.34]And movin' your body while while you're sitting in your seat
[02:52.69]And then damn! Ya start doin' the freak, I said
[02:54.89]Damn! Right outta your seat
[02:56.84]Then you throw your hands high in the air,
[02:59.10]Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere
[03:01.30]Ya rockin' to the beat without a care,
[03:03.05]With the sureshot MCs for the affair.
[03:05.31]Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
[03:07.45]But I rap to the beat just the same.
[03:09.46]I got a little face, and a pair of brown eyes
[03:11.86]All I'm here to do, ladies, is hypnotize
[03:13.91]Singin' on'n'n'on'n'on on'n'on,
[03:16.17]The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[03:18.03]Singin' on'n'n'on'n'on on'n'on,
[03:20.37]Like a hot buttered pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
[03:22.82]Pop da pop pop, don't you dare stop
[03:24.66]Come alive y'all, gimme whatcha got
[03:26.87]I guess by now you can take a hunch
[03:29.12]And find that I am the baby of the bunch
[03:33.40]But that's okay, I still keep in stride,
[03:33.17]'Cos all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
[03:35.37]Singin' on'n'n'on'n'on on'n'on,
[03:37.48]The beat don't stop until the break of dawn.
[03:39.53]Singin' on'n'n'on'n'on on'n'on,
[03:41.78]Rock rock, y'all, throw it on the floor
[03:43.75]I'm gonna freak you here, I'm gona freak you there,
[03:45.94]I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere.
[03:48.14]'Cos I'm one of a kind and I'll shock your mind
[03:50.29]I'll put TNT in your behind. I said
[03:52.55]One, two, three, four, come on, girls, get on the floor
[03:56.71]A-come alive, y'all, a-gimme whatcha got
[03:58.98]'Cos I'm guaranteed to make you rock
[04:01.02]I said one, two, three, four, tell me, Wonder Mike
[04:04.13]What are you waiting for?
[04:05.38]I said a hip hop,
[04:06.67]The hippie to the hippie
[04:07.73]The hip hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
[04:09.72]To the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie,
[04:11.72]To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat.
[04:13.77]A Skiddleebebop, we rock, scooby doo,
[04:15.92]And guess what, America, we love you
[04:17.98]'Cos you rocked and a rolled with so much soul,
[04:20.23]You could rock 'til a hundred and one years old.
[04:22.36]I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast,
[04:24.56]But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
[04:26.86]Rock it up, Baby Bubba!
[04:28.71]Baby Bubba to the boogie da bang bang da boogie
[04:31.21]To the beat, beat, it's unique
[04:33.02]Come on everybody and dance to the beat!
[04:53.37]A hip hop
[04:54.37]The hippie to the hippie the
[04:55.58]Hip hip a hop and you don't stop, rock it
[04:57.58]Rock it out, Baby Bubba to the boogie da bang bang
[04:59.53]The boogie to the boogie, the beat.
[05:01.59]I said, I can't wait 'til the end of the week
[05:03.79]When I'm rappin' to the rhythm of a groovy beat
[05:06.01]And I attempt to raise your body heat.
[05:08.05]Just blow your mind, so you can't speak
[05:10.20]And do a thing but a-rock and shuffle your feet
[05:12.31]And let it change up to a dance called the freak
[05:14.55]And when you finally do come into your rhythmic beat,
[05:16.60]Reast a little while so you don't get weak.
[05:18.81]I know a man named Hank
[05:20.81]He has more rhymes than a serious bank
[05:22.99]So come on Hank, sing that song,
[05:25.00]To the rhythm of the boogie, the bang bang da bong!
[05:27.29]Well, I'm Imp the Dimp, the ladies' pimp,
[05:29.35]The women fight for my delight.
[05:31.55]But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
[05:33.75]That shock the house for the young ladies
[05:35.71]And when you come inside, into the front,
[05:38.05]You do the freak, spank, and do the bump
[05:40.10]And when the sucker MC try to prove a point,
[05:42.16]We're a treacherous trio, we're the serious joint!
[05:44.36]a-From sun to sun and from day to day
[05:46.66]I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
[05:48.86]Because they say that miracles never cease
[05:50.91]I've created a devastating masterpiece
[05:52.92]I'm gonna rock the mic 'til you can't resist,
[05:55.08]Everybody, I say it goes like this
[05:57.28]Well, I was walking home late one afternoon
[05:59.44]A reporter stopped me for an interview
[06:01.45]She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
[06:03.59]That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntable
[06:05.84]This young reporter I did adore,
[06:07.66]So I rocked some vicious rhymes like I never did before
[06:10.01]She said, "Damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you
[06:12.21]The Casanova legend must have been true"
[06:14.23]I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"
[06:16.32]Said, "I go by name of Lois Lane
[06:18.57]And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can,
[06:20.56]Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman."
[06:22.81]I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose
[06:25.01]Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
[06:27.17]He may be very sexy, or even cute,
[06:29.17]But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit,"
[06:31.42]I said, "You need a man man who's got finesse
[06:33.84]And his whole name across his chest
[06:35.63]He may be able to fly all through the night,
[06:37.99]But can he rock a party 'til the early light?
[06:40.00]He can't satisfy you with his little worm,
[06:42.20]But I can bust you out with my super sperm!"
[06:44.31]I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it.
[06:48.25]An' I'm here an' I'm there, I'm Big Ban Hank, I'm everywhere
[06:52.65]Just throw your hands up in the air
[06:54.91]And party hardy like you just don't care
[06:57.06]Let's do it, don't stop, y'all, a tick tock, y'all, you don't stop!
[07:01.31]Go ho-tel, mo-tel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
[07:05.90]I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank, drive off in a def OJ,
[07:09.58]Everybody go, "Ho-tel, mo-tel, Holiday Inn"
[07:14.06]You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
[07:18.71]I say skip, dive, what can I say?
[07:20.90]I can't fit 'em all inside my OJ,
[07:23.05]So I just tak half, and bust 'em out,
[07:25.11]I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house
[07:27.31]It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
[07:29.31]I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right
[07:31.62]Everybody was dancin' on the floor
[07:33.46]Doin' all the things they never did before
[07:35.67]And then this fly girl with a sexy lean
[07:37.77]She came into the bar, she came into the scene
[07:39.98]She travelled deeper inside the room
[07:42.22]All the fellas checked out her white Sassoons
[07:44.27]She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
[07:46.52]Then she turned around and shook her behind
[07:48.53]So I said to myself, it's time for me to release
[07:50.57]My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece
[07:52.92]And now people in the house, this is just for you
[07:54.98]A little rap to make you boogaloo
[07:57.07]Now the group you hear is called Phase Two
[07:59.17]And let me tell you somethin', we're a helluva crew
[08:01.23]Once a week, we're on the street
[08:03.48]Just to cut in the jams and look at your feet
[08:05.67]For you to party, you gotta have the moves,
[08:07.83]So we'll get right down and get you a groove
[08:10.03]For you to dance, you got to be hot
[08:12.03]So we'll get right down and make you rock
[08:14.13]Now the system's on and the girls are there
[08:16.58]You definitely have a rockin' affair
[08:18.85]But let me tell you somethin', there's still one fact
[08:21.05]And to have a party, you got to have a rap
[08:23.16]So when the party's over, you're makin' it home,
[08:25.27]And tryin' to sleep before the break of dawn
[08:27.48]And while you're sleepin', you start to dream,
[08:29.42]And thinkin' how you danced on the disco scene
[08:31.67]My name appears in your mind,
[08:33.82]Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
[08:35.87]It was Phase Two just doin' a do
[08:37.92]Rockin' you down 'cos you knew we could
[08:40.28]To the rhythm of the beat that makes you freak,
[08:42.17]Come alive girls, get on your feet
[08:44.13]To the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
[08:46.52]To the double beat beat that makes you freak
[08:48.72]To the rhythm of the beat that says you go on
[08:50.87]On'n'on into the break of dawn
[08:53.02]Now I got a man comin' on right now
[08:55.40]He's garuanteed to throw down
[08:57.50]He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
[08:59.37]Come on, Wonder Mike, do what you like!
[09:01.56]I say a can of beer that's sweeter than honey,
[09:03.66]Like a millionaire that has no money
[09:05.73]Like a rainy day that is not wet,
[09:08.01]Like a gamblin' fiend that does not bet
[09:09.97]Like Dracula without his fangs,
[09:12.27]Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
[09:14.31]Like collard greens that don't taste good,
[09:16.37]Like a tree that's not made out of wood
[09:18.62]Like goin' up and not comin' down,
[09:20.63]Is just like the beat without the sound, no sound
[09:22.97]To the beat beat, you do the freak
[09:25.21]Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
[09:27.41]Have you ever went over a friends house to eat
[09:29.67]And the food just ain't no good?
[09:31.48]The macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed,
[09:33.92]And the chicken tastes like wood
[09:35.82]So you try to play it off like you think you can
[09:37.87]By saying that you're full
[09:39.89]And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
[09:42.23]He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull!"
[09:43.88]So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie
[09:46.67]And you say that you already ate
[09:48.52]And your friend says "Man, there's plenty of food"
[09:50.88]So you pile some more on your plate
[09:52.89]While the stinky food's steamin', your mind starts to dreamin'
[09:55.18]Of the moment that it's time to leave
[09:57.13]And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rottin'
[09:59.48]Into something that looks like cheese
[10:01.23]Oh so you say "That's it, I gotta leave this place
[10:03.43]I don't care what these people think,
[10:05.65]I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
[10:07.84]With this ugly food that stinks"
[10:09.99]So you bust out the door while it's still closed
[10:11.99]Still sick from the food you ate
[10:13.99]And then you run to the store for quick relief
[10:16.34]From a bottle of Kaopectate
[10:18.44]And then you call your friend two weeks later
[10:20.44]To see how he has been
[10:22.58]And he says, "I understand about the food,
[10:24.96]Baby Bubba, but we're still friends"
[10:27.16]With a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
[10:29.21]The hip hip a hop, a you don't stop the rockin'
[10:31.42]To the bang bang boogie
[10:32.67]Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
[10:35.31]I say, "Hank, can ya rock?
[10:37.66]Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop?
[10:39.91]Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?"
[10:41.85]I said, "Come on, make, make the people move!"
[10:44.35]I go to the balls and then ring the bell
[10:46.15]Because I am the man with the clientele
[10:48.20]And if ya ask me why I rock so well,
[10:50.36]A Big Bang, I got clientele
[10:52.66]And from the time I was only six years old
[10:54.60]I never forgot what I was told
[10:56.95]It was the best advice I ever had
[10:59.10]It came from my wise, dear old dad
[11:00.56]He said, "Sit down, punk, I wanna talk to you
[11:03.29]And don't say a word until I'm through
[11:05.39]Now there's a time to laugh, a time to cry
[11:07.54]A time to live and a time to die
[11:09.69]A time to break and a time to chill
[11:11.86]To act civilized or act real ill
[11:13.94]But whatever you do in your lifetime
[11:16.04]You never let an MC steal your rhyme"
[11:18.19]So from six to six 'til this very day
[11:20.59]I'll always remember what he had to say
[11:22.54]So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style
[11:24.83]I let them know that I'm versatile
[11:26.83]I got style, finesse, and a little black book
[11:28.98]That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
[11:31.07]But the thing that seperates you from me
[11:33.22]And that is called originality
[11:35.28]Because my rhymes are on from what you heard
[11:37.55]I didn't even bite, not a go---word
[11:39.79]And I say a little more, later on tonight
[11:41.84]So the sucker MCs can bite all night
[11:43.84]A tick a tock, y'all, a beat beat, y'all
[11:46.04]A let's rock, y'all, you don't stop
[11:48.18]Ya go, "Ho-tel, mo-tel, whatcha gonna do today?" (Say what?)
[11:52.54]Ya say, "I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank and
[11:54.69]Drive off in a def OJ"
[11:56.30]Everybody go, "Ho-tel, mo-tel, Holiday Inn"
[12:00.54]Ya say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friends
[12:05.38]A like that, y'all, to the beat, y'all
[12:07.90]Beat beat y'all, ya don't stop!
[12:09.79]A Master Gee, my mellow
[12:11.85]It's on to you so whatcha gonna do?
[12:13.90]Well, like Johnny Carson on the Late Show
[12:16.14]A like Frankie Crocker in stereo
[12:18.15]Well like the Barkay's singin' "Holy Ghost"
[12:20.39]The sounds to throw down, they're played the most
[12:22.64]It's like my man Captain Sky
[12:24.69]Whose name he earned with his super sperm
[12:26.89]We rock and we don't stop
[12:29.46]Get off, y'all, I'm here to give you whatcha got
[12:31.41]To the beat that it makes you freak
[12:33.32]And come alive, girl, get on your feet
[12:35.37]A like a Perry Mason without a case
[12:37.77]Like Farrah Fawcett without her face
[12:39.87]Like the Barkays on the mic
[12:41.93]Like gettin' down right for you tonight
[12:44.03]Like movin' your body so you don't know how
[12:46.28]Right to the rhythm and throw down
[12:48.58]Like comin' alive to the Master Gee
[12:50.63]The brother who rocks so viciously
[12:52.67]I said the age of one, my life begun
[12:54.83]At the age of two I was doin' the do
[12:57.03]At the age of three, it was you and me
[12:59.13]Rockin' to the sounds of the Master Gee
[13:01.23]At the age of four, I was on the floor
[13:03.58]Givin' all the freaks what they bargained for
[13:05.72]At the age of five I didn't take no jive
[13:07.77]With the Master Gee it's all the way live
[13:10.07]At the age of six I was a-pickin' up sticks
[13:12.27]Rappin' to the beat, my stick was fixed
[13:14.32]At the age of seven, I was rockin' in heaven
[13:16.42]Don'tcha know I went off
[13:18.46]I gotta run on down to the beat you see
[13:20.72]Gettin' right on down, makin' all the girls
[13:22.97]Just take off their clothes to the beat the beat
[13:25.01]To the double beat beat that makes you freak
[13:27.12]At the age of eight, I was really great
[13:29.48]'Cause every night, you see, I had a date
[13:31.42]At the age of nine, I was right on time
[13:33.91]'Cause every night I had a party rhyme
[13:36.01]Going on'n'n'on'n' on on'n'on
[13:38.01]The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[13:40.27]A sayin' on'n'n'on'n' on on'n'on
[13:42.40]Like a hot buttered de pop de pop de pop

[13:55.84] I am the definite feast delight
[13:57.69] Come to the Master Gee, you see
[13:59.93] The brother who rocks so viciously
