Rappers’ Delight - Songtext
von The Sugarhill Gang

I said-a hip, hop, the hippie, the hippie
To the hip hip hop-a you don′t stop the rock
It to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat

Now, what you hear is not a test - I'm rappin′ to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
See, I am Wonder Mike, and I'd like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
The purple and yellow. But first, I gotta
Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Let's rock, you don′t stop
Rock the rhythm that′ll make your body rock
Well so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along

And the next on the mic is my man Hank
C′mon, Hank, sing that song!


Check it out, I'm the C-A-S-A, the N-O-V-A
And the rest is F-L-Y
You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
And these reasons I′ll tell you why
You see, I'm six foot one, and I′m tons of fun
When I dress to a T
You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali
And I dress so viciously
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
That definitely ain't the wack
I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunfoofed Cadillac

So after school I take a dip in the pool
Which is really on the wall
I got a colour TV, so I can see
The Knicks play basketball. Hear me talk about
Checkbooks, credit cards, mo' money
Than a sucker could ever spend
But I wouldn′t give a sucker or a bum form the Rucker
Not a dime ′til I made it again. Everybody go
Ho-tel, Mo-tel, Whatcha gonna do today? (Say what?)
'Cos I′m a get a fly girl
Gonna get some spank n' drive off in a def OJ. Everybody go
Ho-tel, Mo-tel, Holiday Inn
Say if your girl starts actin′ up, then you take her friend
Master Gee! My mellow!
It's on to you, so whatcha gonna do?


Well, it′s on'n'n′on′n'on on′n'on
The beat don′t stop until the break of dawn
I said M-A-S, T-E-R, a G with a double E
I said I go by the unforgettable name
Of the man they call the Master Gee
Well, my name is known all over the world
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
I'm goin′ down in history
As the baddest rapper there ever could be
Now I'm feelin' the highs and you′re feelin′ the lows
The beat starts gettin' into your toes
You start poppin′ your fingers and stompin' your feet
And movin′ your body while while you're sitting in your seat

And then damn! Ya start doin′ the freak, I said
Damn! Right outta your seat
Then you throw your hands high in the air
Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere
Ya rockin' to the beat without a care
With the sureshot MCs for the affair
Now, I′m not as tall as the rest of the gang
But I rap to the beat just the same

I got a little face, and a pair of brown eyes
All I′m here to do, ladies, is hypnotize
Singin' on′n'n′on'n′on on'n'on
The beat don′t stop until the break of dawn
Singin′ on'n′n'on′n'on on′n'on
Like a hot buttered pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
Pop da pop pop, don't you dare stop
Come alive y′all, gimme whatcha got

I guess by now you can take a hunch
And find that I am the baby of the bunch
But that′s okay, I still keep in stride
'Cos all I′m here to do is just wiggle your behind
Singin' on′n'n′on'n'on on′n′on
The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
Singin′ on'n′n'on′n'on on'n′on
Rock rock, y′all, throw it on the floor

I'm gonna freak you here, I′m gona freak you there
I'm gonna move you outta this atmosphere
′Cos I'm one of a kind and I′ll shock your mind
I'll put TNT in your behind. I said
One, two, three, four, come on, girls, get on the floor
A-come alive, y'all, a-gimme whatcha got
′Cos I′m guaranteed to make you rock
I said one, two, three, four, tell me, Wonder Mike
What are you waiting for?

I said a hip hop, the hippie to the hippie
The hip hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it
