Lyrics The Word Is Out - The Sugarhill Gang

Hey crew! (what?) Turn up the bass! (why?) We're back!
Let's rock the place!
We're back, Jack, back and stack up The funk,
That keeps your toes in tap Get ready! (yeah!
) Cause the groove is hot Get, get ready,
Give it all you got Just stop what you're doing,
Lend us your ear We wanna make something loud and clear If you take
Off your shoes, and jam the box We're gonna rock you (huh!
) Right out your socks We don't need to brag,
It's plain to see That our music has high velocity You see,
The word is out,
And all the people like Big Bank,
Master Gee, and Wonder Mike Sugar...
Hill!
We came here tonight,
Because you like to party So all you daddy-o's (get up!),
Young ladies, work your body To get on down!
[Bridge #1] A long time passed,
Since we've been on People said "you lost your touch!
" But you never could keep a good man down So we came back in the
Clutch Like a fine wine takes years to

But I missed ya most So what's my name?

The people's thrill And if we don't rock,
Nobody will This one's for you,
So listen close It's the ladies out there I love the most And if you
Love me too, and you feel alright Get up out your seat,
Do what you like Don't you know you're special, one of a kind Take me,

So hop on the bus, catch a cab Because the party we have is bound to
Be bad To the people on the floor,
