Grandmaster Flash - U Know What Time It Is Lyrics
(music: j.saddler lyrics: l.dukes, g.williams - from the grandmaster flash album ba-dop-boom-bang elektra 87)Just get off the wall, lets have a ballThe 70s are gone, its the 80s yallGrab a fly girl by the hand and ask her to danceCmon fellas dont be shy, just take a chanceYoull never know it might lead to romanceCause the beat is cold stompin, itll put you in a tranceYoure so hypnotized that you stop and stareIm steppin out of this cuase Im not with that there!Get on the dancefloor cmon take a standAll the girlies in the place wanna dance with you my manGet on the floor and work it out if you canHeres my ulterior motive, I mean my game planIt doesnt hurt to flirt, just go ahead and chase the skirtYou cant help it, its your line of workTo get women on the floorIts you they adore, you might as wellChorus:You know what time it isHang on party people cause here we goWere gonna cold take the party to another plateauBut in order for us to achieve a new heightWe wanna hear flash cut the beat up, aint that rightWhile flash is choppin the mix like an ax on woodYou gotta dance cuase the beat is finger lickin goodThrow your hands above your head and reach for a cloudAnd if theres anything you want to say, say it loudI know the bass is pumpin so hard the lights are dimAnd yall are lettin me know were cold blowin the rimThats right , youre being served, served with a smileAnd homeboy you dont like it, we can step in the aisleJust show no shame, you know its only rightAnd if theres anything you want to get off, get it off tonightChorusA simple puch of the fade, a little flex of the wristFlash whoopin the mix while Im kickin the giftYo like a double edge razor, the boy is niceWhen he cuts, give him room, or you might get slicedHes too cold to hold, to hot to be stoppedThis jam that we got is good to the last dropWeather you like it or not, we rockYo since the day we emerged, have you heardThat it was all about a party and yo this is wordThis partys rated ns for no suckers allowedThats the scoop, hear me troopSo dont you come here actin wildBut as you know theres always one in the crowdYou wanna party, then act like you know, can you dig itAnd if you came to get ill, forget it, I aint with itChorus
