AFRIKA BAMBAATAA
"Planet Rock"
(Arthur Baker / J. Miller / John Robie / Alonzo Williams)

Party people, party people
Can y'all get funky?
Soul Sonic Force can y'll get funky?
The Zulu Nation can y'll get funky?
Just hit me, just taste the funk and hit me
Just get on down and hit me
Bambaataa's jus' gettin'
So funky, now, hit me just hit me

Just start to chase your dreams
Up out your seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love life, live come play the game
Our world is free do what you want but scream

We know a place where the nights are hot
It is a house of funk
Females and males both headed all for the disco
The DJ plays your favorite blasts
Takes you back to the past, music's magic (poof)
Bump bump bump get bump with some flash, people

Rock rock to the Planet Rock
Don't stop
Rock rock to the Planet Rock
Don't stop

The Soul Sonic Force, Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow and M. C. Globe
We emphasize the show, we got ego
Make this your night, just slip it right and by day
As the people say, live it up, shucks
No work or play, our world is free be what you be, it's me

Rock rock to the Planet Rock
Don't stop
Rock rock to the Planet Rock
Don't stop

You're in a place where the nights are hot
Where nature's children dance and set a chance
On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
The time has come and work for soul
Show you really got soul
Are you ready hump bump bump
Get bump, now let's go, house

Twist and turn, then you let your body slide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin'
Work it all around the clock

Everybody keep rockin' and clockin'
And shockin' and rockin', go house
Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it
(Rock it, don't stop it)
Well hit me, Mr. Biggs (Hit me, Mr. Biggs)
Pow Wow (Pow wow)
The G-L-O-B-E (G-L-O-B-E)
The Soul Sonic Force motherfucker

You gotta rock it, pop it, 'cause it's the century
There is such a place tht creates such a melody
Our world is but a land of a master jam, get up and dance
It's time to chase your dreams
Up out your seats, make your body sway

Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love life, live

Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it [Crowd repeats]
Everybody say, shock it and pop it [Crowd repeats]
Everybody say, ich me sun chi [Crowd repeats]
Say, Planet Rock [Crowd repeats]
It's the sure shot [Crowd repeats]
The Planet Rock [Crowd repeats]
It's the sure shot [Crowd repeats]

So twist and turn, then you let your body glide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
So hit me just taste the funk and hit me
Just get on down and hit me
Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now hit me

Every piece of the world
Rate the message of the worlds
All men, women, boys, and girls
Hey our Planet Rock is superb get on it

You got the groove, move [ad lib]
Feel the groove, feel it
Do what ya want but ya know
Ya got to be cool and boogie
Out on the floor, go down

Bring it low close to the ground
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin'
Work it all around the clock
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin'
Work it all around the clock

Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop

Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop

Beware, beware of the New World Order
Beware, beware of the New World Order
If you feel that Zulu funk, funk it up
If you feel that Zulu funk, funk it up
If you feel that Zulu funk, funk it up
If you feel that Zulu funk, funk it up
