(Music: J.Saddler Lyrics: L.Dukes, G.Williams - From the Grandmaster Flash Album "Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang" Elektra '87)
|
|
Just Get Off The Wall, Let's Have A ball
|
The 70's are gone, it's the 80's y'all
|
Grab a fly girl by the hand and ask her to dance
|
C'mon Fellas don't be shy, just take a chance
|
You'll never know it might lead to romance
|
cause the beat is cold stompin', it'll put you in a trance
|
you're so hypnotized that you stop and stare
|
i'm steppin out of this cuase i'm not with that there!
|
get on the dancefloor c'mon take a stand
|
all the girlies in the place wanna dance with you my man
|
get on the floor and work it out if you can
|
here's my Ulterior motive, I mean my game plan
|
it doesn't hurt to flirt, just go ahead and chase the skirt
|
you can't help it, it's your line of work
|
To get women on the floor
|
it's you they adore, you might as well
|
|
Chorus:
|
You Know What Time It Is
|
|
Hang On party people cause here we go
|
we're gonna cold take the party to another plateau
|
but in order for us to achieve a new height
|
we wanna hear flash cut the beat up, ain't that right
|
while flash is choppin the mix like an ax on wood
|
you gotta dance cuase the beat is finger lickin good
|
throw your hands above your head and reach for a cloud
|
and if there's anything you want to say, say it loud
|
i know the bass is pumpin' so hard the lights are dim
|
and y'all are lettin me know we're cold blowin the rim
|
that's right , you're being served, served with a smile
|
and homeboy you don't like it, we can step in the aisle
|
just show no shame, you know it's only right
|
and if there's anything you want to get off, get it off tonight
|
|
Chorus
|
|
A simple puch of the fade, a little flex of the wrist
|
flash whoopin the mix while I'm kickin the gift
|
yo like a double edge razor, the boy is nice
|
when he cuts, give him room, or you might get sliced
|
he's too cold to hold, to hot to be stopped
|
this jam that we got is good to the last drop
|
weather you like it or not, we rock
|
yo since the day we emerged, have you heard
|
that it was all about a party and yo' this is word
|
this party's rated NS for no suckers allowed
|
that's the scoop, hear me troop
|
so don't you come here actin' wild
|
but as you know there's always one in the crowd
|
you wanna party, then act like you know, can you dig it
|
and if you came to get Ill, Forget it, I ain't with it
|
|
Chorus
