Got the voice that stops you in your tracks
Put the wiggles up and down your back
We're the prize in your cracker jack
Sugarhill with the funk attack
We got style, finesse, and savior faire
All the ladies think that we're deboinaire.

For the big bang bang
Gonna fight all night

And you know who's gonna survive?

Hey we're bonafide and qualified
To hynotize, tranquilize

[musical break]
Rock for awhile to prove we have style
Grace, class, deboinaire, and a vicious profile
And there ain't no doubt that it's all about
Maily mall, mr. ness, raheem, rio, cowboy
Rock the house, y'all
Got a rhythm to make ya wanna keep on rockin'
Keep on rockin' keep on rockin' keep on rockin'
Now all the girls agree
There's no one sweeter than a master g
From the north to the south, the east and west
Big bank, babydoll i am the best
I got a smile that'll warm ya
Like the morning light
And i go by the name of wonder mike.
So forget about your problems, throw away ya bills
Cause you're being possessed by the sounds of
Sugarhiiiiiiillll...
Sugarhiiiiillll... ah ah.
[musical break until the end]
