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
