[Intro]

What did you say your name was?

[Verse 1]

I see, that it's not clear

For you, good buddy, so clean out your ears

Listen very closely while I pop more game

'Cause my name's in the Hall of Fame

The K-U-R, the T-I-S

The first is the best, I must confess

The B-L-O and the W

I make you wanna catch the boogaloo flu

Now, if your name is Annie

Get up off your fanny

If your name is Clyde

Get off your backside

If your name is Pete

You don't need a seat

'Cause I'm Kurtis Blow and I'm on the go

I'm rocking to the rhythms in stere-ere-o

[Verse 2]

Now, just throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care

If you're ready, like Freddy, to rock real steady

Somebody say, oh yeah! (Oh yeah!)

Young ladies, all the ladies in the house, say, oww! (Oww!)

And you don't stop

Come on, come on, come on, let me see you rock

A get down! Stop messing around

When Kurtis Blow is in your town

I'm Kurtis Blow on the microphone

A place called Harlem was my home

I was rocking one day, it started to shake

It sounded to me a-like a earthquake

I packed my bags, I said goodbye

I kissed my woman, and I started to fly

I came to Earth by a meteorite

To rock you all on the mic

So just kick off your shoes, let your fingers pop

'Cause Kurtis Blow's just about ready to rock

[Refrain]

Now the people in the back, if you're not the wack, say

(Don't stop the body rock!)

The people in the front, if you want to bump, say

(Don't stop the body rock!)

The people in the middle, if you want to wiggle, say

(Don't stop the body rock!)

And the people on the side, if you want to slide, say

(Don't stop the body rock!)

[Verse 3]

Not a preacher, or a teacher, or an e-lec-tri-cian

A fighter, or a writer, or a po-li-ti-cian

The man with the key to your ignition

Kurtis Blow is competition

Young ladies, shock the house, jazzy

Yes, young ladies, shock the house

Now, just throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care

If y'all really ready to rock the house this morning

Somebody say, oh yeah! (Oh, yeah!)

Somebody scream!

[Bridge 1]

Young ladies, Mercedes

All the ladies in the house, say, oww! (Oww!)

Say, ho! (Ho!)

Ho! (Ho!)

Ho oh! (Ho oh!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 2]

A yes, yes, y'all, keep on

Chick-a-rock-rock-rock, the rock-rock-rock

And don't stop the body rock

And everybody say, ho! (Ho!)

Ho! (Ho!)

And all the brothers, fly guys, get high

Say, macho! (Macho!)

Macho! (Macho!)

Mucho macho! (Mucho macho!)

Ooh, ahh, ooh-ooh ahh! (Ooh, ahh, ooh-ooh ahh!)

[Verse 4]

Keep on, rocking on

Keep, keep on, rock the hip, the hop on

Like a little boy blue blowing on a horn

The needle on the record, tryna play a song

It's been that way since the day I was born

I like a 25 cent bag of popcorn

Dip-dip-dab, so-socialize

Clean out your ears and open up your eyes

So you goin' here can realize

That I'm here to tranquilize

Got the knack of Kojak, better than Baretta

Casanova Brown, because I'm down

Get down, stop messing around

When Kurtis Blow is in your town

I'm a one of a kind, I'll wreck your mind

Put a wiggle-double-wiggle in your behind

Twice as nice, I'm skatin' on ice

When my mama gave birth, she named me the baddest

MC on Earth, y'all

To the beat that makes you freak

Get out of your seat and freak to the beat

The weather is cold, so catch some heat
