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 |
