Well it started up on 8th Avenue
And I made up the name the Get Fresh Crew
It was me, my true DJ Sherona, that would be
My right hand man Ricky D
I used to rap and sing, make sounds and things
And for example, here's a telephone ring
(Ring, ring) hello, is Doug E. Fresh here
It's flavour, listen I like the way it's going
(No, he's not in right now) Cool
But anyway, no more delay
Just check out the new style I display
Now you got to be fresh to rock wit fresh
And I'm D-o-u-g-i-e Fresh
And I'm known for the
Not for the
The human beat box on the Entertainer
No other label that fit me plainer
In a passing generation, I am a remainder
And I'm also known as a beat box trainer
Cashing checks, make sound effects
And after I'm finish rocking, Slick Rick is on next
(You know it) Slick Rick
Well here's a little something that needs to be heard
Doug, I was walking downtown (word Rick) word
(Sure) all along, no one to be wit
Step on the d-train, at 205th
I saw a pretty girl (so)
So I sat beside her
Then she went roar, like she was Tony the Tiger
I said, oh darn, there has been a mistake
Honey, my name's Slick Rick, not Frosty Flake
(Oh, golly wolly) she was raised in hell
She said, um, my name is Maggie
But call me Michelle
Bust a move, we show and prove
Hey, yo, Doug, do that record jam on a groove
