Aww yeah, you're now listening to the sound of the man that they call Grandmaster Flash, Easy Mike, the Disco B

And I am the man that they call Melle Mel, rock well

Grandmaster Flash behind the wheels of steel, got to be the real deal

More jams than the sea got clams

More [?] than Coney Island got rides

More class than Central Park got grass

Flash, got razzmatazz

Too fly

You don't stop, you don't stop, stop that body rock

'Cause it's on, like popcorn

And the beat don't stop until the break of dawn

Like Little Boy Blue blowing his horn

Saturday night, dance marathon

Like a grasshopper hoppin' on the morning lawn

You know it's got to be on

Grandmaster Flash and the Disco B, Easy Mike and I'm the MC

You walk in the place, you listen to the bass

See Melle Mel with a smile on his face

The king on the throne of the microphone

You should know by now, you'll never be alone

When I rap so def, so nice and fresh

You should know by now, I don't settle for less

'Cause I'm on that, coolin' out

You say Melle Mel's bad, without a doubt

I'm down for Flash to make a lot of cash

And say "Come on Flash", 'cause you cut so fast"

You don't stop

Ya, you don't stop

That body rock

Because the beat is gonna be the sure shot

Now you see everybody's hear today at the Celebrity Club

And if you want to get down

If you , if you want to get down to the funky sound

Somebody say ho (ho)

Let's get it on, let's get it on

Come on, get on the floor, freak it some more

Get what you paid that money for

Do what you do best, get it off your chest

You're rockin' with the best and not the rest

Melle Mel, ha, and I rock so well

From the top of the world to the depths of hell

Aw girl, I wanna rock your world

Get funky, get funky

Get funk-funky-funky

I'm not here to pay nobody's way

I'm hear for you to check out what I say

So before I go, ha, before I quit

You're gonna know I don't pop no Sugarhill shit

I'm Melle Mel, you know I rock well

From the top of the world to the depths of hell

Rockin' with the best with the most finesse

Takin' the top and leavin' what's left

With a face of gold, a heart of stone

I need my crew, but I'm stone to the bone

'Cause I played the games and I paid the price

To be smooth as ice, like paradise

[?]

Figure a chance, I'ma rock you to your knees

I'm coming off all the time

'Cause I'm the undisputed king of the disco rhymes

So help me out, just help me out

Just help me, help me turn it out

Everybody in the place, the bass is in your face

Come in first place in the DJ race

The time that you're hear, it sounds so dear

DJ Flash is so nice and clear

So to let me know that you like the show

Everybody say ho (ho)

You don't, you don't, you don't stop, that body rock

Because the beat is gon', I say the beat is gon'

Grandmaster Flash, everybody, everybody

Grandmaster Flash, behind the wheels of steel

You don't stop, you don't stop, stop that body rock

Now just throw your hands in the air (say what)

And wave 'em like you just don't care (say what)
