Tom Tom Club - Genius Rap lyrics

Hey, we're Frank, Tim, new and improved We're goin' to rock a party just for you Step up to the floor and grab a girl We'll make a bald man's hair curl Now everybody here has seen us before We took a little chill and now we're back for more While we were away worked both day and night And now we think we've got it right With twin spin we're about to begin So open up the door and let the people in It's not a mover permit or a TV show King of swings, so be the first to know We have no doubt that we can turn you out Because rockin' the house is what we be about I'm Dr. Jeckyll ("and I'm Mr. Hyde") And we rock the house side by side So don't just stand there lookin' around! Won't you c'mon c'mon? (Won't you c'mon c'mon?) Won't you c'mon c'mon? Let's all get down So everybody in the house be the first to know It's not the hip-hop of the discos, it's not Don Juan or Romeo It's the Jeckyll AND -- the Jeckyll AND -- the Jeckyll AND Hyde Show So Dr. Jeckyll is my man Just get on the mike and do what you can-can [Dr. Jeckyll] Well, Mr. Jeckyll and I'm on the ball And time never catches me off the wall I do with ____ three steps ahead And just like the man said I went to the mother's truck And I'm guaranteed to rock this party I'm full of fire, full of fun G-Rock and Dr. J, you're number one --H-Y? --Uh-huh? --D-E? --That's me! --Just get on the mike and rock... [Dr. Hyde] Well, my name is Mr. Hyde and time is always on my side So I take as much time as I do Because I shock the house from the young ladies So won't you hurry, hurry, come and see my show Once you're under my spell I'll never let you go And I'll be your baby at your request Because I know you want nothing but the best [Break -- Both] My man Hank can shout it out! (Hey!) To the Bronx, shout it out! (Ho!) In Brooklyn, shout it out! (Ho!) In Queens, shout it out! (Ho!) Staten Island, shout it out! (Ho!) Well, they're rockin' on McDonaldland Well, everybody's just having fun Even you deserve a break today, and now we're gonna give you one! Now throw your hands up in the air And shake 'em through the atmosphere You're feelin' good, you're on the go Somebody say "Gigolo!" "Gigolo!" Just gig-a-lo, gig-a-lo Say ho! (Ho!) Say ho, ho! (Ho, ho!) Say ooh, ahh, ooh ooh ahh! (Ooh, ahh, ooh ooh ahh!) [Dr. Hyde] I got a picture of me and a Sony TV and a funky stereo (Oh, yeah?) But I have no time to enjoy myself because I'm working on an MC show I get a penthouse on Central Park and I got a lovely view Just come on over to my crib, girl, and it'll be about me and you I turn off my TV and my stereo and then I even close my door And by the time I'm finished with you, sweetheart, you'll wanna come back for me Cause my picture's in JET magazine, I'm on the cover of TV Guide (Get funky!) They voted me MC of the year, the vicious Mr. Hyde Well, I think it's time for Mr. Jeckyll to rock it So c'mon, Dr. Jeckyll, it's your time to rock [Dr. Jeckyll] So girls ___ a lover, babay, and that I can't deny There ain't a woman on earth that I can't handle, I get them all the time I'm the policeman of all the fellas cause I can stop them before they start And I'm a fireman to the young ladies because I can put out the fire in their hearts I'm like Superman! And don'tcha know they call me the Man of Steel? I got jazz, pizzazz, and razzamatazz, I even got s** appeal! So When you come to my house and you walk through the door, please remember to close the gate (Why, doc?) Because when you come to see Dr. Jeckyll at his house, be ready to operate [Both] Now, we walk these streets without a care! Spend cash money like millionaires! We walk on water, fly through air Got a picture of her myself in her underwear... Like Ginger Rogers, Freddy Astaire Like Boo-Boo, girl, and Yogi the Bear, and Joe the Ranger -- He best be aware of the two MCs that are debonair Now, the only thing that we've got to say is c'mon and give that ba** a play! And if you're feelin' good and you got it like that Now somebody say, "And you know that!" (And you know that!") Now if you feel in the mood to dance, now's the time, this is your chance Just get on the floor, don't hesitate While I rock my mike it's hard to operate Now I'm on time each and every night And I can mix the beat and add the rock It's just a short ____ vibe to up the ______ If I can do it once, well, I can do it again So, Dr. Jeckyll (That's me!) My man (C'mon!) Just get on the mike and do what you can [Dr. Jeckyll] And let your fingers fly It's time for the sweet doctor to rock this party Now, wham, bam, here I am I'm like a superstar in partyland From southern California to the coast of New York All the women like the way I walk in ____ Cause I got style, I got grace, and I think my ladies are the best today (Uh, uh!) Now if you're feeling good, and things are funny Like Elmer Fudd and my man Bugs Bunny Somebody say Cash Money (Cash Money!) Cash Money (Cash Money!) So keep it comin', y'all Just keep it, keep it, keep it comin', y'all [Fade Out] Between Jeckyll and Hyde, side by side So don't you girls get petrified We won't let go 'til we're satisfied Cause we are the ones who are qualified We're gonna take you up to the -- hillside Then lay you on back side by side And then rock 'n roll with Jeckyll and Hyde
