Now if everybody's in the place, ready to get down to this funky sound...
Now I know this ain't the best party in the world
But let me explain something to y'all, New York
It ain't no party unless each and every one of you try to make it a party
You dig what I'm saying?
Make each record your best record and we could rock all night long, you know
So if everybody's willing to get down real funky in the house tonight, let me hear you say "Yeah"
I say – if everybody's here to do it to it 'cause you know it ain't nothin' to it, let me hear you say "Hell yeah"
You say one for the treble, two for the bass
Come on, Flash, let's rock the place

[*Grandmaster Flash scratches*]

From the top, come on, Flash, let's rock
