[Verse 1]

There's lots of room to roam
Plenty of time to turn mistakes into rhyme
There's a place for those who love their poetry
It's just across from the sign that says, "Pros Only"

If you dig Menudo or MDC, we salute you the way we know

Laugh hard, it's a long way to the bank

For every one with dollar signs in his eyes
There must be hundreds that look at you as if you're some kind of
Rhythm section want ad
No others need apply
To the rhythm section want ad
And here's the reason why
