Lyrics The Sugarhill Gang

The Sugarhill Gang

The Word Is Out

Hey crew! (what?) Turn up the bass!

(Why?) We're back! Let's rock the place!

We're back, Jack, back and stack up

The funk, that keeps your toes in tap

Get ready! (yeah!) cause the groove is hot

Get, get ready, give it all you got

Just stop what you're doing, lend us your ear

We wanna make something loud and clear

If you take off your shoes, and jam the box

We're gonna rock you (huh!) right out your socks

We don't need to brag, it's plain to see

That our music has high velocity

You see, the word is out, and all the people like

Big Bank, Master Gee, and Wonder Mike

Sugar...hill!

We came here tonight, because you like to party

So all you daddy-o's (get up!), young ladies, work your body

To get on down!

A long time passed, since we've been on

People said "you lost your touch!"

But you never could keep a good man down

So we came back in the clutch

Like a fine wine takes years to age

And the cream comes to the top, a-dig it!

You know me and my crew, will make your fingers pop

Word is out, we want y'all to know

That we came here to rock this show

So get out your seat, don't let you be stopped

The beat, that makes your fingers pop!

We came here tonight, because you like to party

So all you daddy-o's, (get up!), young ladies, work your body

And get on down!

Hey hey, hey ladies, from coast to coast

I missed all around, but I missed ya most

So what's my name? I think you outta know by know

So I won't waste time, I'll just throw down

We're back on the one, the people's thrill

And if we don't rock, nobody will

This one's for you, so listen close

It's the ladies out there I love the most

And if you love me too, and you feel alright

Get up out your seat, do what you like

Don't you know you're special, one of a kind

Take me, too look and see what's inside

We won't let you down, we're here to stay

We'll maybe come into your town one day

So to you ladies out there, I can't resist

I'll seal this rockin' with a kiss

Word is out, we want y'all to know

That we came here to rock this show

So get out your seat, don't let you be stopped

The beat, that makes your fingers pop!

We came here tonight, because you like to party

So all you daddy-o's (get up!), young ladies, work your body

So get on down!

I hear ya, if you like the sounds

And you wanna get-get-get, get on down

Well the Gang is here, so everybody come along

Don't stop it, keep it-keep it rockin' on

(Don't touch that dial!) We've got the style

And all kinds of grooves that'll make you smile

So hop on the bus, catch a cab

Because the party we have is bound to be bad

To the people on the floor, there's more to come

There's a lot more fun where this came from

(We rock to the max!) We do it right

(Why?) You deserve a break tonight!

Because the week is through, when you want to chill

So you check out the sounds of Sugarhill

So remember that a party is on the 1

When you join the gang to have big fun

The Word is out, we want y'all to know

That we came here to rock this show

Just get out your seat, don't let you be stopped

The beat, that makes your fingers pop!

The word is out, the word is out,

The word is out, the word is out,

So let's rock!

Who's got the juice?

Sugarhill got the juice!
