Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Clap your hands everybody
And everybody just clap your hands
Fly girls clap your hands
Fly guys clap your hands
[Verse 2]
Well if you're feeling alright, and you think you're on
Somebody let me know
Well everybody in the place put a whistle in your face
Scream it out and say, yo, hit it
[Verse 3]
You don't stop
I rock the rhythm that makes your finger pop
I said ah hip-hop and ah thanks a lot
C'mon everybody gimme what you got
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna tell you a little story bout The Sugarhill Gang
With the pow pow boogie and a big bang bang
And if you wanna rap to the Sugarhill beat
Gotta rap in the key of R-A-P
Now that is over I'm ready to jam
Want all you people to clap your hands
Tonight we're gonna scream and shout
We're gonna turn this mother sucker out
To all of you people that are ready to jam
Scream it out and say I am (I AM)
Some body (SOME BODY) now you know you're hot
[Verse 5]
See I met this girl and I said to her, honey
If you wanna be my baby, you got to gimme money
Turned around didn't mean no harm
I knocked her out with my vicious charm
I said, no, no, baby, it's not like that
You see I'm all about making that cold, cold cash
Started jiving around, started messing with her head
And next thing you know she wanted to got to
But to turn me on, you got to be the best
Cause I'm the Master G, I don't take no mess
Like T-N-T, I'm dynamite
You see I rock your body to the early light
And when you wake up in the morning, you'll see I'm gone
And check it out, girl, you're all alone
'Cause you just been hit by the Capricorn King
I rocked you gentle, I rocked you mean
I rocked you in, and I rocked you out
You made me scream, but I made you shout
[Verse 6]
Go dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
Dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
[Verse 7]
See it's up my back, it's around my neck
Woo-hah, got them all in check
See it's up my back, it's around my neck
Woo-hah, got them all in check
[Verse 8]
Let's scream, let's shout
Let's turn this function out
And keep keeping on, but you don't rush
Let's make this party the real Cold Crush
Let's scream, let's shout
Let's turn this function out
And keep keeping on, but you don't quit
Let's make this party the sure
[Verse 9]
Once upon a time not long ago
Everybody had on their radio
And then the fella came on with a groovy noise
To put the wiggle in the women and girls and boys
The word got around about three cool cats
Who put the foot back in the pack
And lemme tell you party people just who we be
With the help of Big Bank and the Master G
[Verse 10]
So get up
Throw down
We're funkward bound
Hey, The Sugarhill Gang is in your town
Now baby doll
And all you daddyos
You better get ready to move your toes
So get up
Throw down
We're funkward bound
Hey, The Sugarhill Gang is in your town
Now baby doll
And all you daddyos
Scream it out and say, yo, hit it
[Verse 11]
Shake it, but don't break it
'Cause I know we can make, make, make it
And if you're ready to party and you're dressed to kill
Somebody say Sugarhill (SUGARHILL)
Sugarhill (SUGARHILL)
Ah, ah, and let your worries take a chill pill
[Verse 12]
You go ah, ah, ah, ah, ooh, ooh
Chicka-pow
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ooh, ooh
Shake your body down
Chicka-pow
Get, get, a get ready
[Verse 13]
What you see is what you get
And you ain't seen nothing yet
I don't think I'm bad don't box in no karate
Just an MC to put the boogie in your body
Go back and forth and forth and back
We're The Sugarhill Gang, we take no slack
Don't wear diamond rings or drive big cars
But the people just treat us like movie stars
[Verse 14]
We go dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
Dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
Dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy

See it's up my back, it's around my neck
Woo-hah, got them all in check
[Verse 16]
Let's scream, let's shout
Let's turn this function out
And keep keeping on, but you don't rush
Let's make this party the real Cold Crush
Let's scream, let's shout
Let's turn this function out
And keep keeping on, but you don't quit
Let's make this party the sure
[Verse 17]
Well I'm the Master G, and I'm the best
All the ladies say my voice is rated X
I'm a touch of lightening, a taste of fire
Well I'm the Master G, and I'm your desire
Young ladies, I said I rock the nation
'Cause I got my own transportation
I can rock just about any age
So let your fingers do the walking through the yellow page
[Verse 18]
