A showdown, it's all the way live
Between The Sugarhill Gang and the Furious Five
Take your partner by the hand, get out'cha seat
We're gonna tickle your funk bone with our beat
I got the ride, I got the face
You got the time, we've got the place
So stop, look, check out the name
Sugarhill's going down in the Hall of Fame
Got the voice that stops you in your tracks
Put the wiggles up and down your back
We're the prize in your cracker jack
Sugarhill with the funk attack
We got style, finesse, and savior faire
All the ladies think that we're debonair
We don't take no jive, we don't take no mess
We're The Sugarhill Gang and we're the best!

[Furious Five]
Hey we're bonafide and qualified, to hypnotize, tranquilize
Transacted, double-backing, keep the whack ones off the track
Pulsating, inflating, crime-making, show-stopping

And we're the best!
If you wanna get down
Just help me shout
Sing turn it out! (turn it out!)

[Furious Five]
Rock for a while, to prove we have style
Grace, class, debonair, and a vicious profile
And there ain't no doubt that it's all about
Melle Mel, Mr. Ness, Rahiem, Creole, Cowboy
Rocking the house, y'all
Got a rhythm to make ya want to, keep on rocking
Keep on rocking, keep on rocking, keep on rockin'!

[Sugarhill Gang]
Now all the girls agree
There's no one sweeter than a Master Gee
From the north to the south, the east and west
Big Bank, baby doll, I am the best
I got a smile, that'll warm ya like the morning light
And I go by the name of Wonder Mike
So forget about your problems, throw away ya bills
Cause you're being possessed by the sounds of
Sugarhill
Ah ah
Sugarhill
Ah ah

Showdown
