We Don’t Rap The Rap

Doug Wimbish, Sylvia Robinson, Angie B., Blondy, Cheryl The Pearl

[Chorus]
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me

[Verse 1]
I said this old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack patty wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
I said Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
So come on, big Jack jump over the stick
I said Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Come on everybody and have a big fall
I said rock, rock, a rickity roll, rock
Rick rock that stereo
I said a rock, rock, rock, rock, rickity roll, rock
A rick rock that stereo
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people out of their seats
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people out of their seats

[Chorus]
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me

[Verse 2]
I said Mary had a little lamb, but she thought that she had a sheep
I said Mary slipped and hit her head and then she fell asleep
I said Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail of water
And when they reached the top, you know the man charged them a quarter
I said this old man, he played two
He played knick-knack on my shoe
With a knick-knack patty wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
I said rock, rock, a rickity roll, rock
Rick rock that stereo
I said a rock, rock, rock, rock, rickity roll, rock
A rick rock that stereo
I said rock, rock, a rickity roll, rock
Rick rock that stereo
I said a rock, rock, rock, rock, rickity roll, rock
A rick rock that stereo
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people to the funky beat

[Chorus]
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me

[Verse 3]
I'm with the Fred Flintstone singing yabadabadoo
Can you hear me rapping, baby?
Well, we're coming straight to you
Said a three, six, nine, start the monkey on the line
[?] the monkey got choked
But he did not die 'cause he was fly
And then he turned around and hit his own self in the eye
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people out of their seats
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people out of their seats

[Chorus]
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me

[Verse 4]
Let me tell you 'bout this story about the Sugerhill Gang
With the bow bow boogie and the big bang, bang
And if you wanna rap to The Sequence beat
You gotta [?]
Saying I will now stop (I will not stop)
I must keep on rocking (I must keep on rocking)
Saying I will now stop (I will not stop)
I must keep on rapping (I must keep on rapping)
And I love the Sugerhill Gang (I love the Sugerhill Gang)
And I must join their army (I must join their army)
I said a left, right, and left (I said a left, right, and left, come on)
And I must keep on marching (I must keep on marching)
I said a left, right, and left (I said a left, right, and left, come on)
I said a left, right, and left (I said a left, right, and left, come on)
I said a left, right, and left (I said a left, right, and left, come on)

[Chorus]
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me

[Verse 5]
I like a dog that says bow wow (I like a dog that says bow wow)
I like a cat that says meow (I like a cat that says meow)
I like a tick to the tickity, tick to the tickity
Tick to the tickity, tick to the tickity
Tick to the tickity, tick to the tickity
Tick to the tickity, tick to the tickity tock
I said rock, rock, a rickity roll, rock
Rick rock that stereo
I said a rock, rock, rock, rock, rickity roll, rock
A rick rock that stereo
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people out of their seats
I said a freak, freak is so unique
For me to rock these people out of their seats

[Chorus]
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me
I said we don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me, uh huh
We don't rap the rap unless it's funky
You gotta be really, really funky to rap with me
