[Intro]

Get down, get on down

Let's get down, get on down

Let's get down, get on down

[Verse 1]

Some people call me Jack The Ripper or the Son of Sam

But I just wanna let you know exactly who I am

My name is Dancing Willie, but I might as well be known

As the baddest rapping brother that has ever been born

I've been snapped by a bear and I've been bit by an eel

I chew up railroad iron and I'll spit out steel

I jumped in the ocean and I swallowed up a whale

I handcuffed lightning, threw thunder's butt in jail

I walked through the graveyard and I takе a bolt of thunder

Make the tombstonеs jump and put the dead on the wonder

I took the cage from a gorilla, put the sting in Ali

And made him float like a butterfly and sting like a bee

[Chorus]

Get down, stop messing around

Get down, when I'm in your town

[Verse 2]

Now it was in the summertime, the air was heavy with heat

The people all danced to my funky beat

Now I was going to a party in the wrong part of town

I saw two policeman slap a po' girl down

I didn't know the girl and I never saw her face

But that didn't make no difference 'cause I was the ace

I walked up to the cops and then I asked them why

They didn't hear me ask and so they didn't reply

One hit me with a billy club above my left eye

They hit me with their pistols and they let me lie

When I awake I knew the cops had done

And so I rushed home and then I got my gun

I shot my way through the station house and rushed right in

There was nothing but space where the cops had been

I threw my hand grenade with a outshoot drop

And every time I threw there was one less cop

They called the reserve and they called the National Guard

But I was in the cell looking over the yard

Machine guns sputtered, didn't phase me at all

But every time I fired, a cop would fall

The chief of police said "What kinda man is this?"

And held up his hand and I shot off his wrist

He said "Stop shooting, black boy, and we'll let you go"

And then I thought about it, then I let it be so

I walked from the jailhouse about a half a square

A cop behind post a-let me have my fair

I drew a clean bead on the cop's bald head

And returned him my favor and the cop fell dead, get down

[Verse 3]

Rockin' the party and I'm rockin' the place

I'm rockin' everybody in the human race

Now I was walkin' down the street on a rainy night

When all of a sudden I had a terrible fight

I got started running and I started to scream

I did not realize that it was nothing but a dream

A-listen to me girl when I'm talkin' to you

Now let me tell you girl what I'd like to do

I'd like to get you in the bed, girl, for 80 days

And make love to you 80 different ways

'Cause when it comes to makin' love I got a black belt

I'll make you feel, baby doll, like you never felt

I'll make you feel, baby doll, like you never thought you could

'Cause when I do it baby, I do it good

I work my body like I'm on the scene

So while we're makin' love you can't complain

And while we're makin' love and then you start to cry

Not because I'm hurtin', 'cause it's good, that's why

And baby when I take you to the plateau phasin'

And you can rest assured that you will be amazed

And that's right y'all, so get down

Get down, get on down

[Verse 4]

Now you drop out of school, I said you can't find a job

When people see you on the street they call you a slob

You have nowhere to stay so you sleep on the street

You can't even buy a pair of shoes to fit your feet

The clothes that you're wearing, they're dirty and rank

When people stand beside you they tell you that you stink

Well listen to me brother when I'm talkin' to you

Now let me tell you brother what you got to do

You got to hip and hop and then you do the jerk

You go back to school and then you do the work

And when you graduate and then you get your degree

Go teach your little brother how he should be

'Cause when you're goin' to the city, goin' nowhere fast

Sooner or later somebody kicks your...

[Chorus]

Down, stop messing around

Get down, when I'm in your town

[Verse 5]

Now when it comes to bodybuilding, I know I'm good

I had the best built body in the neighborhood

Now those of you that don't think it's true

Just check me out and I will prove it to you

You heard about the Hawk and my man Bruce Lee

But both them brothers wrapped up in me

When people see me on the street making a hustle

They say "Hey bodybuilder, go flex your muscles"

So I start the flexing without no shame

They wanna put in the hall of fame

I just act modest and then I say

"Thanks a lot, but I'll be on the way"

I say to the gym and just to train

This body that they wanna put in the hall of fame

Now while I was dreaming at the gym

I heard somebody say "I want to be like him"

Because I work my body 5 hours a day

To protect the women that come my way

Now all you fellas that take me for granted

You mistreat my women, I won't understand it

I'll snatch off your arms, break your legs in two

And when you go to the doctor there's nothing he can do

[Chorus]

So get down, and stop messing around

Get down, when I'm in your town

[Verse 6]

Now those of you that want to hear what I have to say

My story started on the 12th of May

I met this girl that knew was just out of school

And much to my surprise, she played me for a fool

She played me for my money and my clothes too

She woulda played me for tobacco but I didn't chew

She took me for a fool, she played me for my coat

She done played me for my reefer but I didn't smoke

She took me for my fame and she played me for my name

She done played me for my rap but I didn't have a game

I got wise and stopped being a lame

I had to put a stop to her jive-timing game

I ran up on the girl on the very next day

And this is to the girl what I had to say

I say "Shut your mouth and don't you say another word"

I'll bust your butt about somethin' I heard

You're walkin' around her with your nose all snotty

You don't know what you're talkin' about, won't ask nobody

The Rays is on the dresser and the gun's in the drawer

You think 'bout any one of 'em and I'll break your jaw"

[Outro]

And get down, and stop messing around

Get down, when I'm in your town

Get down, get down

Get down, get on down

Just get down, get on down

Get down, get on down

Just get down, get on down

Get down, stop messing around

Get on down

Get down, get on down

Get down, get on down
