Genius Rap
[Intro]
Hey, we're fresh, def, new and improved
We've come to rock a party just for you
Step up to the floor and grab a girl
We'll make a bald man's hair curl

[Both]
Now everybody here has seen us before
We took a little chill and now we're back for more
While we were away we worked both day and night
And now we think we've got it right
We're the twins of spin, we're about to begin
So open up the door and let the people in
It's not a movie premiere or a TV show
Well it's the kings of swings, so be the first to know
And have no doubt that we can turn you out
Because rockin' the house is what we be about
I'm Dr. Jeckyll (And I'm Mr. Hyde)
And we rock the house side by side
So don't just stand there lookin' around
Won't you c'mon c'mon? (Won't you c'mon c'mon?)
Won't you c'mon c'mon? Let's all get down
So everybody in the house be the first to know
It's not the hip-hop or the disco, it's not Don Juan or Romeo
It's the Jeckyll AND -- the Jeckyll AND -- the Jeckyll AND Hyde Show
So Dr. Jeckyll is my man (Okay)
Just get on the mic and do what you can-can
[Dr. Jeckyll]
Well, my name Dr. Jeckyll and I'm on the ball
And time never catches me off the wall
I do anything three steps ahead
And just like the man said
I've been to the mountaintop
And I'm guaranteed to rock the spot
I'm full of fire, full of fun
The chief rocker Dr. Jeckyll, you're number one
H-Y? (Uh-huh?)
D-E? (That's me!)
Just get on the mic and rock for me

[Dr. Hyde]
Well, my name is Mr. Hyde and time is always on my side
So I take as much time as I please
Because I shock the house for the young ladies
So won't you hurry, hurry, come and see my show
Once you're under my spell I'll never let you go
And I'll be your baby at your request
'Cause I know you want nothing but the best

[Bridge: Both]
To Manhattan, shout it out! (Hey!)
To the Bronx, shout it out! (Ho!)
In Brooklyn, shout it out! (Ho!)
In Queens, shout it out! (Ho!)
Staten Island, shout it out! (Ho!)
Well, they're rockin' on McDonaldland
Well, everybody's just having fun
Even you deserve a break today
And now we're gonna give you one!
Now throw your hands up in the air
And shake 'em through the atmosphere
You're feelin' good, you're on the go
Somebody say "Gigolo!"
"Gigolo!"
Just gig-a-lo, gig-a-lo
Say ho! (Ho!)
Say ho, ho! (Ho, ho!)
Say ooh, ahh, ooh ooh ahh! (Ooh, ahh, ooh ooh ahh!)

[Dr. Hyde]
I got a picture of me and a Sony TV and a funky stereo (Oh, yeah?)
But I have no time to enjoy myself because I'm puttin' on an MC show
I get a penthouse on Central Park and I got a lovely view
Just come on over to my crib, girl, and it'll be about me and you
I turn off my TV and my stereo and then I even close my door
And by the time I'm finished with you, sweetheart, you'll wanna come back for me
'Cause my picture's in JET magazine, I'm on the cover of TV Guide (Get funky!)
They voted me MC of the year, the vicious Mr. Hyde
Well, I think it's time for Dr. Jeckyll to rock
So c'mon, Doc, it's your turn to rock

[Dr. Jeckyll]
So girls call me a lover baby doll and that I can't deny (Whoo!)
There ain't a woman on earth that I can't handle
I give them all the time, you know why? (Say what)
I'm a policeman to all the fellas (Uh huh)
'Cause I can stop them before they start
And I'm a fireman to the young ladies because I can put out the fire in their hearts
I'm like Superman!
And don'tcha know they call me the Man of Steel?
I got jazz, pizzazz, and razzamatazz, I even got sex appeal! So
When you come to my house and you walk through the door, please remember to close the gate (Why, doc?)
'Cause when you come to see Dr. Jeckyll baby doll, be ready to operate
[Both]
Now, we walk these streets without a care!
Spend cash money like millionaires!
And we walk on water, fly through air
And got a picture of ourself on our underwear...
Like Ginger Rogers, Freddy Astaire
Like Boo-Boo, girl, and Yogi the Bear, and Joe the Ranger
He best be aware of the two MCs that are debonair
Now, the only thing that we've got to say is c'mon and give that bass a play!

And if you're feelin' good and you got it like that
Now somebody say, "And you know that!" (And you know that!")
Now if you feel in the mood to dance, now's the time, this is your chance
Just get on the floor, don't hesitate
While I rock my mic it's time to operate
Yeah I'm on time each and every night
And I can mix the beat and add the rock
And just as sure as five and five adds up to ten
If I can do it once, well, I can do it again
So, Dr. Jeckyll (That's me!)
My man (C'mon!)
Just get on the mic and do what you can

[Dr. Jeckyll]
Well, just get up our your seat and let your fingers pop
It's time for the sweet Doc to rock the spot
Now, wham, bam, here I am
I'm like a superstar in partyland
And from the shores of California to the coast of New York (Oh yeah!)
All the women like the way I walk and talk (Why?)
'Cause I got style, I got grace, and I think my ladies are the best today (Uh, uh!)

Now if you're feeling good, and things are funny
Like Elmer Fudd and my man Bugs Bunny
Somebody say cash money (Cash money!)
Cash money (Cash money!)
So keep it comin', y'all
Just keep it, keep it, keep it comin', y'all

[Outro]
Between Jeckyll and Hyde, side by side
So don't you girls get petrified
'Cause when we touch ya, you get electrified
And we won't let go 'til we're satisfied
'Cause we are the ones who are qualified
To give you the lovin' that can't be denied
We're gonna take you up to the hillside
Then lay you on back, side by side
And then we rock 'n roll with Jeckyll and Hyde
