  1. Yes, yes, y'all and you don't stop (stop)

  2. Keep it on and shockin' the place (yo, Yauch)

  3. Well, I'm MCA, I got nothing to prove

  4. Pay attention, my intention is to bust a move (what?)

  5. I drink quarts and cans and bottles and sixes (what up?)

  6. Between the turntables, keep the vodka and the mixes

  7. Well, I'm Mike D, I got the deuces wild (yeah, buddy)

  8. A list of girlies' numbers that I've dialed

  9. I do the Smurf, the Popeye and the Jerry Lewis

  10. I like Bullwinkle but I don't like Brutus

  11. Well, I'm schoolin' in the boy's room, coolin' by the locker (well)

  12. All the girls in class knows that I'm the cool rocker (ah, yeah)

  13. Punk in the hall, man, I shoulda oughta hit him

  14. Had the fresh rhymes and the kid cold bit 'em

  15. Smokin' in the boys room is what I do best

  16. While you were at a party, your girlfriend fessed

  17. I keep a pistol in my pocket, so you better be cautious

  18. Fly around the world but it makes me nauseous

  19. Mike D's day off every day of the week (aw, D, keep it on)

  20. I got to the party and I did the freak

  21. I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda

  22. You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda

  23. I'm a def Manhattan killer, a rhyme thriller

  24. A mic in my hand and a mouth full of Miller

  25. I got a hat, not a visor, I drink Budweiser

  26. The turntable's up on the drum riser

  27. The needle's in the groove and the vinyl's on the platter

  28. I know that I'm fly, man, there's no need to flatter

  29. I travel around the globe, it's keeping girlies dizzy

  30. My name's Mike D, so watch me get busy, y'all

  31. Get-get-get busy, y'all

  32. Get-get-get busy, y'all

  33. You're a fake wearin' sucker whose gold got rusted

  34. Dusted, rusted, mustard, 'sgusted

  35. Cheaper than a hot dog with no mustard

  36. Mustard, mustard, mustard

  37. You tried to steal my fresh and you got cold busted

  38. Busted, busted, busted

  39. Your crew's all soft and I'm disgusted

  40. 'Sgusted, 'sgusted, 'sgusted

  41. I'm from downtown from the city from of Manhattan

  42. I got a lotta girlies and not one's cattin'

  43. My posse's in effect and we're doin' the deuce

  44. Well, we got more rhymes than your whole damn crew

  45. Caught you poppin' that weak and you must have been dusted

  46. Dusted, dusted, dusted

  47. Stuck your head in the toilet and stone-cold flushed it

  48. Flushed it, flushed it, flushed it, flushed it

  49. Word

Posse in Effect

Yes, yes, y'all and you don't stop (stop)

Keep it on and shockin' the place (yo, Yauch)

Well, I'm MCA, I got nothing to prove

Pay attention, my intention is to bust a move (what?)

I drink quarts and cans and bottles and sixes (what up?)

Between the turntables, keep the vodka and the mixes

Well, I'm Mike D, I got the deuces wild (yeah, buddy)

A list of girlies' numbers that I've dialed

I do the Smurf, the Popeye and the Jerry Lewis

I like Bullwinkle but I don't like Brutus

Well, I'm schoolin' in the boy's room, coolin' by the locker (well)

All the girls in class knows that I'm the cool rocker (ah, yeah)

Punk in the hall, man, I shoulda oughta hit him

Had the fresh rhymes and the kid cold bit 'em

Smokin' in the boys room is what I do best

While you were at a party, your girlfriend fessed

I keep a pistol in my pocket, so you better be cautious

Fly around the world but it makes me nauseous

Mike D's day off every day of the week (aw, D, keep it on)

I got to the party and I did the freak

I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda

You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda

I'm a def Manhattan killer, a rhyme thriller

A mic in my hand and a mouth full of Miller

I got a hat, not a visor, I drink Budweiser

The turntable's up on the drum riser

The needle's in the groove and the vinyl's on the platter

I know that I'm fly, man, there's no need to flatter

I travel around the globe, it's keeping girlies dizzy

My name's Mike D, so watch me get busy, y'all

Get-get-get busy, y'all

Get-get-get busy, y'all

You're a fake wearin' sucker whose gold got rusted

Dusted, rusted, mustard, 'sgusted

Cheaper than a hot dog with no mustard

Mustard, mustard, mustard

You tried to steal my fresh and you got cold busted

Busted, busted, busted

Your crew's all soft and I'm disgusted

'Sgusted, 'sgusted, 'sgusted

I'm from downtown from the city from of Manhattan

I got a lotta girlies and not one's cattin'

My posse's in effect and we're doin' the deuce

Well, we got more rhymes than your whole damn crew

Caught you poppin' that weak and you must have been dusted

Dusted, dusted, dusted

Stuck your head in the toilet and stone-cold flushed it

Flushed it, flushed it, flushed it, flushed it
