Einstein's Takin' Off

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

[ANDYCAT:] When young

[DIZZY:] Einstein

[ANDYCAT:] Was a kid

[DIZZY:] With a bid

[ANDYCAT:] He had some 1200's inside his crib

[DIZZY:] And an MPC, under his sheets

[ANDYCAT:] To make beats, accomplishing incredible feats

[DIZZY:] While other kids played games like Chinese checkers

[ANDYCAT:] Rod pounded the pavement to find these records he used

[DIZZY:] He makes hits with the flick of a wrist

[ANDYCAT:] Einstein's taking off

[DIZZY:] Let me put it like this

There's not a Benadryl pill that could stop the itch

Or a scratch when my DJ gets up in the mix

He grips the cross fader with his nimble fingertips

And flips it back and forth, no transform switch

[ANDYCAT:] And the needle never skips?

[DIZZY:] Well it did one time,

When a fan got hype and bumped the tables from behind

[EINSTEIN:] So please give me some room when I'm going for mine

[DIZZY:] Einstein's taking off

[ANDYCAT:] Take off Einstein

[HOOK: Young Einstein on the turntables]

When it gets to the end, tell him do it again!.....

When it gets to the end, tell him do it again!....

Young Einstein....don't try to play me.....

I like to make funky beats and record 'em....

The scratch....th-th-the scratch...

We'll be on top....so long!...

Young Einstein....don't try to play me.....

I like to make funky beats and record 'em....

The scratch....th-th-the scratch...

I got two great partners standing by me....

[ANDYCAT:] Take the freeway from Canada to TJ

And I know that you won't find another DJ

[DIZZY:] Slash

[ANDYCAT:] Super record digger

[DIZZY:] Slash

[ANDYCAT:] Drum major

[DIZZY:] Slash

[ANDYCAT:] Producer

[DIZZY:] Slash

[ANDYCAT:]

Ugly Duckling making a splash

He lifts loops from the original LP's

Would never think of sampling a beat break CD

And when we come to do your show, turn off the DAT's

Save 'em for those other acts, Einstein's got the wax

For the turntables, he'll reverse it, scratch,

Cut it in half......and reattach it

And keep it spinning from the beginning to the duration

when (Young Einstein) is in (deep concentration)

Yo Diz!

[DIZZY:] Wassup?

[ANDYCAT:] We almost didn't tell 'em

How Rod explores record stores like he was Magellan

[DIZZY:] Searching for the beats only he can find

[ANDYCAT:] Einstein's taking off

[DIZZY:] Take off Einstein
