[Intro]
The Michael Rosen Rap
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap
I'm giving you all the Michael Rosen Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap

[Verse 1]
One, two, three, four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on, let's drive
To the Plum Café around the corner
My dad says he wants a drink of juice
But I really don't want another big bother, but that's what I've got
"Watch out," says my dad, "the potato's hot!"
I like plums, bananas, tomato, too
But my dad, what does he do?
I-I remember very well that awful day
Everyone was lookin' round at the Plum Café
But-But-But hang on to your seats and listen right here
I'm gonna tell you something horrible

[Chorus]
A little bit of Harrybo in my life
A little bit of Melanie by my side
A little bit of Alfred's all I need
A little bit of Laura's what I see
A little bit of Charmaine in the sun
A little bit of David all night long
A little bit of Lydia, here I am
A little bit of me, the Michael Rosen man, ha-ah-ha-ah!
[Post-Chorus]
A hip, hop, a hip-hop-hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boola)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom)
A hip, hop, a hip hop ha-Rap, Ra-Rap, Ra- (Balam-bam-diddy-bam, diddy-bam-balam-da-diddy)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boola)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-diddy-boom)
The Michael Rosen Rap, Rap, Rap, Rap
Noice!

[Verse 2]
I juked and jived, I'm moving all around
And then my dad bobs his head up and down
He spits, he stuffs, he blows, he puffs
We're looking at each other, I say, "That's enough!"
He flaps his hands once, he flaps his hands twice
And if his eyes pop out, then that really does it

[Chorus]
A little bit of Harrybo in my life
A little bit of Melanie by my side
A little bit of Alfred's all I need
A little bit of Laura's what I see
A little bit of Charmaine in the sun
A little bit of David all night long
A little bit of Lydia, here I am
A little bit of me, the Michael Rosen man, no-o-o-o
[Post-Chorus]
Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom
Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boola
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boola)
I'm giving you all the Michael Rosen Rap, Ra-Ra-Rap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-diddy-boom)

[Bridge 1]
Uh, what did you say? I said...
Quite right!
I was delighted
The inspector was delighted
And Harrybo was still snorting away like mad
Wonderful!

[Chorus]
A little bit of Harrybo in my life
A little bit of Melanie by my side
A little bit of Alfred's all I need
A little bit of Laura's what I see
A little bit of Charmaine in the sun
A little bit of David all night long
A little bit of Lydia, here I am
A little bit of me, the Michael Rosen man

[Bridge 2]
So that's what I am, that's what I be
With an M, with an I, with a K, with an E
That's what I am, that's what I be
Mr. Mike, Mr. Michael, Mr. Rosen, Mr. Me
[Post-Chorus]
A hip, hop, a hip-hop-hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boola)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom)
A hip, hop, a hip hop ha-Rap, Ra-Rap, Ra- (Balam-bam-diddy-bam, diddy-bam-balam-da-diddy)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boom)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-boola)
A hip, hop, a hip hop hap (Balam-bam-diddy-bam-boola, balam-da-diddy-boom)
The Michael Rosen Rap
Noice!
