Party people, are you ready?

If you're ready to party say Eddie "D" (Eddie "D"!)

Ba-da-deet-ba-daba-deet-ba-ba-bow-rat-ta-daba-da-bow!

See I'm versatile with any style

That's why I'm rappin' to the rhythm for a little while

For all my friends that are here to stay

We're gonna rock your boat into another day

Now you heard about the Sugahill Gang

With the pow-pow boogie and the big bang-bang

Well I'm gonna tell you just who I am

Rockin' the mic like a superstar

I'm not Kurtis Blow, the master G

Because my name is Eddie "D"

I'm the man, on the FM band

Rockin' the beat all across the land

To the..huh! You don't stop

I wanna rock, rock, rock that body rock

From the top of the world to the depths of hell

My name is Eddie "D" and I rock so well

To the beat!

Everybody!

Clap your hands!

Get down!

You came to see me rap real loud

Hip, hop, I'm not takin' no jive

So dance and twist your body really neat

Shake your buns to the funky beat

You see my bass man is right next to me

He's rockin' to the sound with Eddie "D"

I'm exempt from the microphone

So bass man you're on your own vibration

My bass is funky and my highs are great

Come on drummer and participate

To the beat!

Everybody!

Clap your hands!

Get down!

Hip, hop, let's take it the top

You don't stop rockin', you don't stop

I wanna hit the top, I wanna hit the top

I wanna hit the top, rock, rock nonstop!

The whole school of my ad-libbers open your books

And after that take another look

'Cause I'll tell you one thing by hook or crook

Eddie "D", is gonna really, really cook

Tell your principal, teachers or even friends

That whenever I rock it's sure to blend

Ba-da-deet-ba-daba-deet-ba-ba-bow-rat-ta-daba-da-bow!

To the beat!

Everybody!

Clap your hands!

Get down!

You don't stop rockin', you don't stop

All over the world, you can plainly see

Just who would rock so seriously

I rocked the mic long enough

Now it's time to drop some crowd type stuff

Party people, are you ready?

If you're ready to party say Eddie "D" (Eddie "D"!)

Ba-da-deet-ba-daba-deet-ba-ba-bow-rat-ta-daba-da-bow!

Throw your hands in the air

'Cause I'm the number one mack player, fly guy

You don't wanna stop, no, no, no-no

And never-never while I'm on the microphone

I don't need a mop to rhyme with me

I just want to boogie and set your body free

Once again I'm on the mic

Makin' this party a thief's delight

A thief's delight that's right on time

Where the people appreciate all my rhymes

I rhyme to the rhythm in every beat

I don't need a drink or a seat

Because I'm on and on, every day

Just as long as I could rap my way

To the hip-hop, the hip-hip the hip-hop

We could all do the body rock

(E-D-D-I-E, ooh Eddie "D"!)

(E-D-D-I-E, ooh Eddie "D"!)

(E-D-D-I-E, ooh Eddie "D"!)

(E-D-D-I-E, ooh Eddie "D"!)

(E-D-D-I-E, ooh Eddie "D"!)
