Lyrics

[00:35.706] I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie
[00:37.851] To the hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock
[00:40.057] It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
[00:42.121] To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
[00:44.343] Now what you hear is not a test, I'm rappin' to the beat
[00:48.824] And me, the groove and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
[00:52.984] See I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say hello
[00:57.246] To the black, to the white, the red and the brown, the purple and yellow
[01:02.141] But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
[01:04.039] Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
[01:06.210] Let's rock, you don't stop
[01:08.421] Rock the riddle that will make your body rock
[01:10.563] Well, so far you've heard my voice, but I brought two friends along
[01:14.677] And next on the mic is my man Hank: come on, Hank, sing that song
[01:18.740] Check it out: I'm the C-a-s-an-the-o-v-a, and the rest is f-l-y
[01:23.296] Y'see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix and these reasons, I'll tell ya why:
[01:27.679] Y'see I'm six-foot-one and I'm tons of fun, and I dress to a T
[01:32.068] Y'see I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciously
[01:36.377] I got bodyguards, I got two big cars that definitely ain't the wack
[01:40.740] I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac
[01:45.225] So after school, I take a dip in the pool which is really on the wall
[01:49.407] I got a color TV, so I can see the Knicks play basketball
[01:53.467] Hear me talkin' 'bout checkbooks, credit cards, more money than a sucker could ever spend
[01:58.158] But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the rucker, not a dime till I made it again
[02:02.501] Y'go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
[02:06.827] Y'say I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin', drive off in a def OJ
[02:10.927] Everybody go hotel, motel, Holiday Inn
[02:15.360] Say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend
[02:19.802] Master Gee, am I mellow?
[02:21.857] It's on you, so what you gonna do?
[02:24.027] Well, it's on n on n on on n on
[02:26.286] The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[02:28.278] I said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e
[02:32.699] I said I go by the unforgettable name of the man they call the Master Gee
[02:36.489] Well, my name is known all over the world
[02:39.106] By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
[02:41.438] I'm goin down in history
[02:43.637] As the baddest rapper there ever could be
[02:45.612] Now I'm feelin' the highs and ya feelin' the lows
[02:47.803] The beat starts gettin' into your toes
[02:49.897] Ya start poppin' ya fingers and stompin' your feet
[02:52.268] And movin' your body while you're sittin' in your seat
[02:54.372] And then, damn, ya start doin' the Freak
[02:56.419] I said damn, right outta your seat
[02:58.398] Then ya throw your hands high in the air
[03:00.767] Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere
[03:02.907] Ya rockin' to the beat without a care
[03:05.000] With the sure shot MCs for the affair
[03:07.012] Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
[03:09.179] But I rap to the beat just the same
[03:11.514] I got a little face and a pair of brown eyes
[03:13.622] All I'm here to do, ladies, is hypnotize
[03:15.743] Singin' on n n on n on n on
[03:17.994] The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[03:20.159] Singin' on n n on n on on n on
[03:22.389] Like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
[03:24.912] Pop da pop pop, ya don't dare stop
[03:26.576] Come alive, y'all, gimme what ya got
[03:28.878] I guess by now, you can take a hunch
[03:30.965] And find that I am the baby of the bunch
[03:33.123] But that's okay I still keep in stride
[03:35.207] 'Cause all I'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
[03:37.010] Singin' on n n on n on n on
[03:39.668] The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[03:41.723] Singin' on n n on n on on n on
[03:43.962] Rock rock, y'all, throw it on the floor
[03:46.015] I'm gonna freak ya here, I'm gonna feak ya there
[03:48.097] I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere
[03:50.233] 'Cause I'm one of a kind and I'll shock your mind
[03:52.440] I'll put t-t-tickets in your behind
[03:54.691] I said 1-2-3-4, come on girls, get on the floor
[03:59.085] A-come alive, y'all, a-gimme what ya got
[04:01.210] 'Cause I'm guaranteed to make you rock
[04:03.334] I said 1-2-3-4, tell me Wonder Mike, what are you waitin' for?
[04:07.725] I said-a hip hop, the hippie to the hippie
[04:09.995] The hip hip hop-a you don't stop the rock
[04:11.960] It to the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
[04:14.205] To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
[04:16.315] Skiddlee beebop-a we rock a scoobie doo
[04:18.356] And guess what, America, we love you
[04:20.562] 'Cause ya rock and ya roll with so much soul
[04:22.700] You could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
[04:24.950] I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
[04:27.015] But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
[04:29.221] Rock it up, baby bubbah
[04:31.404] Baby bubbah to the boogie, da bang bang da boogie
[04:33.462] To the beat beat, it's so unique
[04:35.567] Come on, everybody and dance to the beat
[04:38.123] I said-a hip hop, the hippie the hippie
[04:57.715] To the hip hip hop-a you dont stop
[04:59.931] Rock it out, baby bubbah, to the boogie da bang bang
[05:02.093] The boogie to the boogie da beat
[05:04.545] I said I can't wait till the end of the week
[05:06.456] When I'm rappin' to the rhythm of a groovy beat
[05:08.609] And attempt to raise your body heat
[05:10.600] Just blow your mind so that you can't speak
[05:12.732] And do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
[05:15.019] And let it change up to a dance called The Freak
[05:17.092] And when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
[05:19.263] Rest a little while so ya don't get weak
[05:21.375] I know a man named Hank
[05:23.672] He has more rhymes than a serious bank
[05:25.674] So come on, Hank, sing that song
[05:27.979] To the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong
[05:30.013] Well, I'm imp the dimp, the ladies pimp
[05:32.045] The women fight for my delight
[05:34.175] But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs
[05:36.436] That shock the house for the young ladies
[05:38.611] And when you come inside into the front
[05:40.754] You do the freak, spank, and do the bump
[05:42.828] And when the sucker MCs try to prove a point
[05:44.960] We're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
[05:47.092] A-from sun-to-sun and from day-to-day
[05:49.229] I sit down and write a brand new rhyme
[05:51.505] Because they say that miracles never cease
[05:53.648] I've created a devastating masterpiece
[05:55.655] I'm gonna rock the mic till you can't resist
[05:57.927] Everybody, I say, it goes like this:
[06:00.115] Well, I was comin' home late one dark afternoon
[06:02.118] A reporter stopped me for a interview
[06:04.287] She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
[06:06.452] That I'm vicious on the mic and the turntables
[06:08.640] This young reporter, I did adore
[06:10.866] So I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did before
[06:12.853] She said, "Damn, fly guy, I'm in love with you!
[06:15.145] The Cassanova legend must have been true!"
[06:17.180] I said, "By the way, baby, what's your name?"
[06:19.257] Said, "I go by the name of Lois Lane
[06:21.528] And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can
[06:23.474] Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman"
[06:25.883] I said, "He's a fairy, I do suppose
[06:27.950] Flyin' through the air in pantyhose
[06:30.375] He may be very sexy or even cute
[06:32.430] But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit"
[06:34.556] I said, "You need a man who's got finesse
[06:36.711] And his whole name across his chest
[06:38.791] He may be able to fly all through the night
[06:41.053] But can he rock a party till the early light?
[06:43.407] He can't satisfy you with his little worm
[06:45.245] But I can bust you out with my super sperm!"
[06:47.832] I gon' do it, I gon' do it
[06:49.834] I gon' do it, do it, do it
[06:51.906] And I'm here, and I'm there
[06:54.142] I'm Big Bank Hank, I'm everywhere
[06:56.191] Just throw your hands up in the air
[06:58.397] And party hardy like you just don't care
[07:00.513] Let's do it, don't stop y'all
[07:02.664] A-tick a-tock, y'all, you don't stop!
[07:04.893] Go hotel, motel, what you gonna do today? (Say what?)
[07:09.392] I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank, drive off in a def OJ
[07:13.237] Everybody go hotel, motel, Holiday Inn
[07:17.825] You say, if your girl starts actin' up then you take her friend
[07:22.154] I say skip, dive, what can I say?
[07:24.388] I can't fit em all inside my OJ
[07:26.449] So I just take half and bust them out
[07:28.674] I give the rest to Master Gee so he could shock the house
[07:30.815] It was twelve o'clock one Friday night
[07:32.833] I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right
[07:35.037] Everybody was dancin' on the floor
[07:37.292] Doin' all the things they never did before
[07:39.287] And then this fly, fly girl with a sexy lean
[07:41.498] She came into the bar, she came into the scene
[07:43.567] As she traveled deeper inside the room
[07:45.740] All the fellas checked out her white sasoons
[07:48.045] She came up to the table, looked into my eyes
[07:50.346] Then she turned around and shook her behind
[07:52.121] So I said to myself, "It's time for me to release
[07:54.210] My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece"
[07:56.528] And now, people in the house, this is just for you
[07:58.502] A little rap to make you boogaloo
[08:01.019] Now the group ya hear is called phase two
[08:03.020] And let me tell ya somethin', we're a helluva crew
[08:05.078] Once a week we're on the street
[08:07.520] Just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
[08:09.423] For you to party, ya got to have the moves
[08:11.615] So we'll get right down and give you a groove
[08:13.926] For you to dance, you gotta get hype
[08:16.082] So we'll get right down and make you rock
[08:18.333] Now the system's on and the girls are there
[08:20.499] Ya definitely have a rockin affair
[08:22.751] But let me tell ya somethin', there's still one fact:
[08:24.867] That to have a party, ya got to have a rap
[08:26.926] So when the party's over, you're makin' it home
[08:29.356] And tryin' to sleep before the break of dawn
[08:31.546] And while ya sleepin', ya start to dream
[08:33.371] And thinkin' how ya danced on the disco scene
[08:35.622] My name appears in your mind
[08:37.858] Yeah, a name you know that was right on time
[08:40.028] It was phase two, just a-doin' a do
[08:41.993] Rockin' ya down 'cause ya know we could
[08:44.280] To the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
[08:46.311] Come alive, girls, get on your feet
[08:48.545] To the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
[08:50.427] To the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
[08:52.826] To the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
[08:55.023] On n on into the break of dawn
[08:57.152] Now I got a man comin' on right now
[08:59.486] He's guaranteed to throw down
[09:01.534] He goes by the name of Wonder Mike
[09:03.594] Come on, Wonder Mike, do what ya like
[09:06.313] Like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
[09:08.129] Like a millionaire that has no money
[09:10.248] Like a rainy day that is not wet
[09:12.386] Like a gamblin' fiend that does not bet
[09:14.362] Like Dracula without his fangs
[09:16.749] Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
[09:18.876] Like collard greens that don't taste good
[09:20.904] Like a tree that's not made out of wood
[09:22.943] Like goin' up and not comin' down
[09:25.424] Is just like the beat without the sound, no sound
[09:27.445] To the beat beat, ya do The Freak
[09:29.556] Everybody just rock and dance to the beat
[09:31.695] Have you ever went over a friends house to eat
[09:34.206] And the food just ain't no good?
[09:36.049] I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed
[09:38.157] And the chicken tastes like wood
[09:40.439] So you try to play it off like you think you can
[09:42.460] By sayin that you're full
[09:44.632] And then your friend says, "Momma, he's just being polite
[09:46.582] He ain't finished, uh uh, that's bull!"
[09:49.078] So your heart starts pumpin', and you think of a lie
[09:51.092] And you say that you already ate
[09:53.341] And your friend says, "Man, there's plenty of food!"
[09:55.438] So you pile some more on your plate
[09:57.483] While the stinky foods steamin' your mind starts to dreamin'
[09:59.798] Of the moment that it's time to leave
[10:01.782] And then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin'
[10:04.042] Into something that looks like cheese
[10:06.186] Oh so, you say, "That's it, I got to leave this place
[10:08.218] I don't care what these people think
[10:10.442] I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous
[10:12.759] With this ugly food that stinks!"
[10:14.704] So you bust out the door while it's still closed
[10:16.945] Still sick from the food you ate
[10:19.105] And then you run to the store for quick relief
[10:21.279] From a bottle of Kaopectate
[10:23.343] And then you call your friend two weeks later
[10:25.547] To see how he has been
[10:27.577] And he says, "I understand about the food, baby bubbah
[10:30.002] But we're still friends"
[10:32.059] With a hip hop, the hippie to the hippie
[10:34.233] The hip hip-a hop-a you don't stop the rockin'
[10:36.350] To the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie
[10:38.485] To the rhythm of the boogie the beat
[10:40.528] I say, Hank, can ya rock?
[10:42.721] Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop?
[10:44.970] Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?
[10:47.036] I said, come on make the, make the people move
[10:48.998] I go to the halls and then ring the bell
[10:51.279] Because I am the man with the clientele
[10:53.438] And if ya ask me why I rock so well
[10:55.579] A big bang, I got clientele
[10:57.719] And from the time I was only six years old
[10:59.814] I never forgot what I was told
[11:02.105] It was the best advice that I ever had
[11:04.137] It came from my wise dear old dad
[11:06.344] He said, "Sit down, punk, I wanna talk to you
[11:08.592] And don't say a word until I'm through
[11:10.662] Now, there's a time to laugh, a time to cry
[11:12.878] A time to live and a time to die
[11:15.131] A time to break and a time to chill
[11:17.169] To act civilized or act real ill
[11:19.840] But whatever ya do in your lifetime
[11:21.710] Y'never let a MC steal your rhyme!"
[11:23.678] So from sixty-six to this very day
[11:25.859] I'll always remember what he had to say
[11:28.036] So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style
[11:30.109] I let them know that I'm versatile
[11:32.231] I got style, finesse and a little black book
[11:34.441] That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look
[11:36.599] But there's a thing that separates you from me
[11:38.763] And that is called originality
[11:40.877] Because my rhymes are on from what you heard
[11:43.452] I didn't even bite and not a Goddamn word
[11:45.404] And I say a little more later on tonight
[11:47.386] So the sucker MCs can bite all night
[11:49.590] A-tick a-tock y'all, a-beat beat y'all
[11:51.628] A-let's rock y'all, ya don't stop
[11:53.939] Ya go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
[11:58.382] Ya say I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin'
[12:00.453] Drive off in a def OJ
[12:02.472] Everybody go hotel, motel, Holiday Inn
[12:06.752] Ya say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friends
[12:11.135] A-like that y'all, to the beat y'all
[12:13.371] Beat beat ya'll, ya don't stop
[12:15.517] A-Master Gee, am I mellow?
[12:17.569] It's on you, so whatcha gonna do?
[12:19.814] Well, like Johnny Carson on The Late Show
[12:21.890] A-like Frankie Crocker in stereo
[12:24.069] Well, like The Bar-Kay's singin' Holy Ghost
[12:26.224] The sounds to throw down, they're played the most
[12:28.607] It's like my man, Captain Sky
[12:30.626] Whose name he earned with his super sperm
[12:32.776] We rock and we don't stop
[12:34.984] Get off, y'all, I'm here to give you whatcha got
[12:37.630] To the beat that it makes you freak
[12:39.374] And come alive, girl, get on your feet
[12:41.550] A-like a Perry Mason without a case
[12:43.630] Like Farrah Fawcett without her face
[12:45.839] Like The Bar-Kays on the mic
[12:48.227] Like gettin' right down for you tonight
[12:50.169] Like movin' your body so ya don't know how
[12:52.319] Right to the rhythm and throw down
[12:54.571] Like comin' alive to the Master Gee
[12:56.704] The brother who rocks so viciously
[12:58.231] I said, the age of one, my life begun
[13:00.876] At the age of two, I was doin the' do
[13:03.249] At the age of three, it was you and me
[13:05.466] Rockin' to the sounds of the Master Gee
[13:07.529] At the age of four, I was on the floor
[13:09.732] Givin' all the freaks what they bargained for
[13:12.020] At the age of five, I didn't take no jive
[13:14.258] With the Master Gee, it's all the way live
[13:16.679] At the age of six, I was a-pickin' up sticks
[13:18.700] Rappin' to the beat, my stick was fixed
[13:20.846] At the age of seven, I was rockin' in heaven
[13:23.100] Dontcha know I went off?
[13:25.283] I got right on down to the beat, you see
[13:27.078] Gettin' right on down, makin' all the girls
[13:29.657] Just take of their clothes to the beat the beat
[13:31.786] To the double beat beat that makes you freak
[13:33.670] At the age of eight, I was really great
[13:36.091] 'Cause every night, you see I had a date
[13:38.528] At the age of nine, I was right on time
[13:40.715] 'Cause every night, I had a party rhyme
[13:42.867] Goin' on n n on n on on n on
[13:45.063] The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[13:47.090] A-sayin' on n n on n on on n on...
[13:49.332] Like a hot buttered de pop de pop de pop
[13:51.591] A-saying on n n on n on on n on
