Clap your hands everybody
And everybody just clap your hands
Ah, fly girls, clap your hands
Ah, fly guys, clap your hands

Well, if you're feeling alright and you think you're on
Ah, somebody let me know
Well, everybody in the place, put a whistle in your face
Scream it out and say yooooo, hit it!

I'm gonna tell you a little story about the Sugarhill Gang
With the pow pow boogie and a big bang bang
And if you wanna rap to the Sugarhill to the 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 sucka out
To all of you people that are ready to jam
Scream it out and say, I am! (I AM!)
Somebody! (SOMEBODY!) Now you know you're hot

Tell me I met this girl and I said to her "Honey
If you wanna be my baby you gotta 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
Ya see I'm all about making that cold, cold cash"
Started jiving around, started messing wit her head
And next thing I know, she wanted to go 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
Ya 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/me
I rocked you in and I rocked you out
You made me scream but I made you shout

Go 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
See it's up my back, it's around my neck
Woo-HAH! Got them all in check

Ah, let's scream, let's shout
And let's turn this function out
And keep, keep it on, but you don't rush
Ah, let's make this party the real Cold Crush
Let's scream, and let's shout
Ah, let's turn this function out
And keep keep it on, but you don't quit
Let's make the party the sure 

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 footh, BACK, in the pack
And let me tell you party people just who we be
With the help of Big Bank and the Master G
