Lyrics

Fusion Version

I said a hip, hop, hippie to the hippie
To the hip hip hop, you don't stop a rockin'
To the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogity beat
Now what you hear is not a test, I'm rappin' to the beat
And me, the Groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet

See, I am Wonder Mike
And I'd like to say hello
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown
The purple and yellow
But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Let's rock
You don't stop
Rock the rhythm that will make your body rock
Well so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along
And next on the mike is my man Hank
Come on, Hank, sing that song

Check it out
I'm the C-A-S-A the N-O-V-A
And the rest is F-L-Y
Ya see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix
And these reasons I'll tell ya why
Ya see I'm six foot one and I'm tons of fun
And I dress to a T
Ya see I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciously
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars
That definitely ain't the wack
I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroofed Cadillac
So after school I take a dip in the pool
Which is really on the wall
I got a color TV so I can see
The Knicks play basketball

Well it's on and on and on on and on The beat don't stop until the break of dawn I said M-A-S, T-E-R A G with a double E I said I go by the unforgettable name Of the man they call the Master Gee Well my name is known all over the world By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls I'm going down in history As the baddest rapper there could ever be I said 1, 2, 3, 4 Tell me Wonder Mike what are you waitin' for? I said a hip, hop, a hippie to the hippie To the hip hip hop, you don't stop a rockin' To the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie To the rhythm of the boogity beat
