* - Slick Rick

+ - Doug E. Fresh

@- Both

Oh my God...

*Excuse me Doug E. Fresh

+Yes

*Have you ever seen a show with fellows on the mic

Wit one minute rhymes and don't come out right

They bite, they're never right, that's not polite

Am I lying

+No, you're quite right

*But tonight on this very night you're about to hear

@We swear the best star rappers of the year

*So + so *cherrio +yo scream @ bravo

@Also if you didn't know this is called the show

*Hey yo Doug + What

*Put your ballies on

+Yo Rick I was about to but I need the shoehorn

*Why + Because the shoes always hurt my corns

*6 minutes, 6 minutes, 6 minutes Doug E. Fresh you're on

Ah ah on, ah ah on, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah on(2x)

Oh my God...

+Here we go (Here we go)

+C'mon (C'mon) (2x)

+Yo where's will and barr

*Well I don't know they're late

Tell 'em the time, oh I forgot the date

+Man you did it again, oh no

(Yo, here we go, c'mon, here we go, c'mon, here we go

think we missed the show)

No, no n-n-n-no we didn't (what)

No, n-n-n-n-no we didn't (w-w-w-what)

No we didn't, well don't get us wrong

*Excuse me Doug E., excuse me Doug E.

Excuse me Doug E. Fresh you're on

Ah ah on, on, on, on, on

Oh my God...

+Well it started up on 8th Avenue

And I made up the name @ the Get Fresh Crew

It was me, my two DJ's Chill Will and Barry B, and

My right hand man Ricky D.

I used to rap and sing, make sounds and things

For example, here's a telephone ring

(ring, ring) *Hello, is Doug E. Fresh here

(No, he's not in right now)

+But anyway, no more delay

Just check out the new style I display

Now you got to be fresh to rock wit fresh

And I'm D-O-U-G-I-E Fresh

And I'm know for the (sound effects)

Not for the (sound effects)

The human beat box or the entertainer

No other title that fits me plainer

In a passing generation, I am a remainder

And I'm also known as a beat box trainer

Cashing checks, make sound effects

And after I'm finish rocking, Slick Rick is on next

(You know it) Slick Rick

*Well, here's a little something that needs to be heard

Doug, i was going downtown (Word Rick) word

(Sure) All along, no one to be wit

Step on the D-train, 205th

I saw a pretty girl (so)

So I sat beside her

Then she went roar, she was Tony the Tiger

I said, oh no, there has been a mistake

Honey, my name's Slick Rick, not frosty flake

(oh, golly wolly) She was raising hell

She said, um, my name is Maggie but you can call me Michelle

Michelle, ma belle.

Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,

Très bien ensemble.

Slick Rick and I'll rock the house, you know what I'm sayin

and when I 'm on the mic there wont be no delayin

Bust a move, we show and prove

Hey, yo, Doug, do that record jam on a groove

Oh my God...
