Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam
I sneak a chicken tikka
Masala at a gala event
I represent that's stupid, that's for sure
You be like, "Oh yeah Adam, real mature"
I'd like a lettuce, tomato and Munster on rye
All this cheese is gonna make me cry
Gorgonzola, provolone
Don't even get me started on this microphone
Blowin' up like my name is Joe Bazooka
I'm a super-dooper MC party pooper
On a track so sick it'll make you feel all queasy
Make you do like Fred Sanford with "I'm comin' Wheezy"
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam
On the court I go by the name Praying Mantis
Got the edge and I've got the advantage
If you could see things from my vantage
Point then you could better understand this
I'm in the lab all day, I scrabble all night
I got a bedazzler so my outfit's tight
When it comes to panache, I can't be beat
I got the most style from below 14th street
Internationally known as the Keebler Elf
Can't keep a catalog up on the shelf
You know I splash on beats like sauce on spaghetti
Putting MC's out of business like they're Crazy Eddie
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam
I know you're sittin' pretty in the Hampty Hamps
Posin' like you're rollin' with that camp
In layman's terms let me break it down
You're flippin' and floppin' just like a flounder
I'm a hip-hop scholar while you're left back
So Jeckle and Rush, go back to Lefrak
I'm a simple man like Chauncey the Gardner
I workin' nine to five Dolly Pardner
I got rhymes for jerks that's bringin' on drama
Which rhyme you want first, the one about your mama?
Goodness gracious golly gee
Shazam, freak out with the genie
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Everybody get down, huh
Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam
I'm tell on you
