Lyrics
[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
The most exciting stage show you've ever witnessed
Appearing live, Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew
Oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh my God!
[Verse 1]
Excuse me, Doug E. Fresh
Yes?
Have you ever seen a show with fellas on the mic
With one-minute rhymes that don't come out right?
They bite
They never write
That's not polite
Am I lying?
No, you're quite right
Well, tonight, on this very mic, you're about to hear
We swear, the best darn rappers of the year
So
So
Cheerio
Yell
Scream, "Bravo"
Also, if you didn't know, this is called, "The Show"
[Verse 2]
Ayo, Doug
What?
Put your Ballys on
Yo Rick, I was about to, but I need a shoe horn
Why?
Because these shoes always hurt my corns
Six minutes
Six minutes
Six minutes, Doug E. Fresh you’re on
Uh-uh-on (I– I– Is it)
Uh-uh-on (I– I– Is it)
Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh (Real, real, real)
Uh-uh-on (Real, real?)
[Chorus]
Uh-uh-on
Oh my God!
Uh-uh-on
Is it real?
Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Oh my God!
Uh-uh-on
Is it real?
Uh-uh-uh
Oh my God!
Uh-uh-on
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
[Chorus]
Here we go (Here we go)
Come on (Come on)
Here we go (Here we go)
Come on (Come on)
[Verse 3]
Yo, where's Will and Barr?
Well, I don't know, they're late
Told 'em the time, oh, I forgot the date
Man, you did it again, oh no
Yo, here we go (Come on)
Here we go (Come on)
Here we go, did we miss the show?
No, no, no, no, no, no, we didn't
Word?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no we didn't
W– W– W– W— Word?
No we didn't
Well, don't get us wrong
Excuse me Doug E.
Excuse me Doug E.
Excuse me Doug E. Fresh you're on
Uh-uh-on, on
[Bridge]
Is it real?
Oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Is it real?
Oh my God!
[Verse 4]
Well, it started off on 8th Avenue
When I made up the name called The
Get Fresh Crew
It was me, my two DJs, Chill Will and Barry Bee
And my right-hand man, Ricky D
I used to rap and sing, make sounds and things
And for example, here's a telephone ring
"Hello, is Doug E. Fresh in?"
"No, he's not here right now"
But anyway, no more delay
Just check out the new style I display
Now you got to be (Fresh)
To rock with (Fresh)
And I'm D-O-U-G-I-E (Fresh)
And I'm known for the
Not for the
The human beat box or the entertainer
No other title can fit me plainer
In a passing generation, I am a remainer
And I'm also known as the beat box trainer
Cashing checks, make sound effects
And after I'm finished rocking, Slick Rick is on next
You know it
Slick Rick
[Verse 5]
Well, here's a little something that needs to be heard
Doug, I was going downtown
Word, Rick?
Word
Sure
All alone, no one to be with
Stepped on the D-train at 205th
I saw a pretty girl
So?
So I sat beside her
Then she went roar like she was Tony the Tiger
I said, "Oh no, there's been a mistake
Honey, my name's Slick Rick, not Frosty Flakes"
Oh, golly wolly
'Cause she was raising hell
She said, "Um, my name is Maggie but call me Michelle"
Bust a move, we show and prove
Ayo, Doug, do that record jam on the groove
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh
Is it real?
Is it real?
Oh my God!
Is it, is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Is it, is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh my God!
Is it real?
Oh-oh, oh
Is it, is it real?
Is it, is it real?
Oh my God!
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
As you can see, most definitely, we are (Fresh)
Chill Will (Fresh)
Barry Bee (Fresh)
Ricky D. (Fresh)
Oh my God!
And I am the original human beat box, the entertainer
Is it, is it, is it real? Is, is it, is it real?
Doug E. (Fresh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh my, my God!
