Текст песни Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five - The Birthday Party - 1981

Beat, beat, you and the crew, hold it
Yeah, that's us, we're bad. We're back
And we want ya'll to know, we're all getting into a birthday thing
Now I want everybody to put your hands up into the air if you got a birthday
Now I don't care if it already came or that it already gone past
Everybody say, Happy (Happy) birthday (Birthday)"
Goody, goody, oh my god, oh my god
Happy birthday baby, party, party, party

42nd street, hey ya'll, we're having a ball
I hope you're doing fine because any time is a happy time for a birthday party rhyme
Everybody get up
Hey ya'll, I'm having a ball
I hope you're doing fine because any time is a happy time for a birthday party rhyme
Hit it
You don't need no invitation
There's a party going on throughout the nation
Don't get exited but it's gonna be the best birthday party in history
We're gonna celebrate the gift of birth
The living jewel of planet Earth
So come on, come all to the birthday ball
Every day this spring, summer, winter and fall
From dusk 'till dawn, from dawn 'till dusk
If the crowd don't get you, the music must
It's jam packed from back to back
You're in, you're out, 'cause you like it like that
Let's rock, let's rock and rock
Don't stop
Tap your foot and let your fingers pop
I wanna hear you loud and clear
Say, "Hell yeah" (Hell yeah)

Everybody say, "One" (One), Flash, one time
Say, "Two" (Two), Flash, two times
Say, "Three" (Three), Flash, three times
Say, "Four" (Four), Flash, five times

All the guys better find a girl, 'cause if you stay apart
We're gonna move the grove until we prove that we're gonna shake you, break your heart

Hey, how're ya doin'
Hey baby I like the way you move your body?
Overtime, overtime, rock your mind
Melle Mell and I'm here to say, I was born on the 15th day of May
And I'm mister Ness and I love myself, and my date of birth is November the 12th
I wanna tell you that my name is Raheem, my date of birth is February 13th
I'm Kid Creole and I'm on the scene, I was born on February 19th
I'm Cowboy and you must remember, I was born on the 20th of September
And Grandmaster Flash is here to stay 'cause he was born on new years day
Now we got something else that we want you to say
Just shout out your birthday
But to play this game, and to rock this rhyme
Shout the date and the month out one of a kind
Say 2 4 6 8 everybody shout out your birthday
Say what's that date?
Say what's that date?
Now to keep these piggies movin' right along, shout out the month that you were born
I say "What's that month?"
I say "what's that month?"

[?] Pitiful, pitiful[?]
Yep
Hey, somebody called misses?
Everybody say, "One" (One), Flash, one time
Everybody say, "Two" (Two), Flash, two times
Say, "Three" (Three), Flash, three times
Everybody say, "Four" (Four), Flash, five times

Hey ya'll, I'm having a ball
I hope you're doing fine
Because any time is a happy time for a birthday party rhyme
Hit it

Hey Flash and the crew, hold it
That's right
You want it, you want it
I want you girl, I want you girl
Gimme that thing, just give me that thing
Take it down, take it down, take it down
[?] I'm looking so bad, you're go to me sometime baby
What you want a free ride baby
You looking so belly to?

All the guys better find a girl, 'cause if you stay apart
We're gonna move the grove until we prove that we're gonna shake you, break your heart
All the girls better find a guy, all the guys better find a girl
'Cause we're gonna hip and hop 'till we hit the top
'Cause we're gonna rock and shock
