[Intro]

Hey, stupid!

Yeah, you Roxanne

Get your face out the garbage can

Don't try to hide now since we made you a star

Come out and face it like the man you are


[Hook]

Calling her a crab


[Verse 1: Kangol Kid]

Well I'm the K-A-N-G-O-L the K-I-D

I'm on the mic rhyming well as you can all see

I got a name of a hat

As I recall, Roxanne's grandmother's head is bald

Your father's a crow, your sister's hair won't grow

Your mother's always making like the wind that blows

Your brother never think, I bet his drawers are pink

As far as I know your whole family stinks

So let the word spread that you're as good as dead

From what your man told me, you're no good in bed

So keep this all in mind, and don't step out of line

'Cause I am the master of the rhyme

They once locked a lady up until she escaped

They wasn't sure what she was, said she looked like an ape

I thought they was exaggerating, but I was wrong

'Cause the lady looks more like a King Kong

Eating her bananas, swinging on vines

Hunters come along and then they snuff her from behind

Take her to the city and they put her in the zoo

The lady gets pregnant and here comes you

Talking that mess, thinking that you're great

I knew all the time that your parents were apes

If you didn't know baby, that makes you one too

So here's some bananas, go home to your zoo

Find yourself a man, not a fairy like your father

I know you're trying hard, but you gotta try harder

'Cause calling you a crab is not a figure of speech

You're not an apple or pear, you're a bum on a beach


[Hook]

(She's such a crab)

Calling her a crab

(She's such a...crab)


[Verse 2: Educated Rapper]

For some dumb reason, you thought you were ahead

But you put your big foot in your mouth instead

And I'm about to end this tale

In such a way it cannot fail

You thought my name was Larry but that's a joke

That you'll keep believing 'til the day you croak

You said you love to marry, but picture that

On my Kodak that would be wack

Your mother's name was Mary and that's the truth

She looks like a Bigfoot and I got proof

And as for you, I just don't know

Your brain has gotta be filled with H2O

You took our beat and made yourself famous

And now you're gonna look like a great big anus

What turns you on? What makes you tick?

Did you think for a minute you would be my pick?

That would be an idiotic move that I positively would never approve

You're not bad-looking, I can't complain

But you're a stupid knuckleheaded nincompoop without a brain

You'll probably stay a virgin 'til you're wrinkled and old

Somehow you think your body is solid gold

I think I'll do without instead

'Cause there's nothing but rocks inside your head

You talk a lotta feces, you're full of waste matter

And every Roxanne that exists must scatter

You're just a waste, a big disgrace

I think you better run and hide your face

'Cause what we say will set it straight

And dogs like you, we eliminate

And do you know to be honest and true

I could never put up with a girl like you


[Hook]

(She's such a crab)

Calling her a crab

(She's such a...crab)


[Verse 3: Doctor Ice]

Give me a mic and a beat and I'll be straight

Now with a crab that said I can't operate

Bitin' ruins a person, that's what it does

But you'll never be the man that your momma was

You know if ugly was a burger you'd be a Big Mac

Two all-pork patties surrounded by fat

There's one more thing that I forgot to mention

Your father's so poor, he can't pay attention

You don't have enough money, baby that's funny

Huh huh huh ha, heeheehee, heheehee, honey

Why'd ya try to get loose on a doctor like me?

See I could've helped your looks with plastic surgery

Remodel your nose, there's a bump in the middle

But to fix your whole face, that's a medical riddle

You're a living proof that they haven't perfected

The modern science of the birth control method

(Crab!) And...I don't usually break 'cause that's not my style

But I figured this one was worth my while

Took off my doctor's coat, ran down the dark block

Spinned twice, turned into the hood, the rock

Now I'm stalking the street 'cause I was underestimated

And now Roxanne must be terminated

What you said about the crew makes me sick

So when I see you on a stage, I'ma hit you with a brick

Boom! (Ah!) Right in your face

And then the name Roxanne will be a big disgrace

See you failed to realize all our rhymes are polished

So as I'm now running, Roxanne is demolished


[Hook]

(She's such a crab)

Calling her a crab

(She's such a...crab)
