Stepped on the D-train at 205th 
I saw a pretty girl

R: So I sat beside her 
Then she went [fx: roar] like she was Tony the Tiger 
I said, oh no, there's been a mistake 
Honey, my name's Slick Rick not Frostie Flakes 
D: Oh, golly wally 
R: She was raisin' hell 
She said, oh my name is Maggie but call me Michelle

Sont les mots qui vont, tres bien ensemble 
Tres bien ensemble 
Bust a move, we show and prove 
A-yo Doug, do that record Jam on the Groove
