Way Out West - Kurtis Blow
Way Out West from way back east Coming from a place you'dexpect the least There came a stranger ,dressed in black From a Harlem Town ,a long way back Had a Stetson hat with a band of gold Eyes like steel ,make your blood run cold Had a microphone hanging by his side Just ready to be amplified Rode into town on a big black steed Lookin'for a man named Ganamede "Ihear the dude just won'tget down If I rock this world I can rock this town!"And when they asked him for his name He said "KurtisBlow ,I play the rappin'game I can do the do ,I can do the deed And tonight I'mgonna rock Ganamede!"Now Ganamede thought he was cool Wore Gucci shoes ,had a fancy school A fancy job in a big corporation Fancy girls all across the nation Fancy car ,fancy clothes ,Fancy friends and fancy dough Only one thing he wouldn'tdo Is let himself get down with you The stranger went to the old saloon Grabbed his mike and spun a tune And everyone in the whole darn place Said "Dothe rap and set that pace!"He rapped 'emdown and he rapped 'emout He made 'emdance and he made 'emshout He said "Ifyou like Kurtis Blow Then let me hear you all say ...A say hooo!Hooo!Hiyo!Hiyo!Say Kurtis!Kurtis!Say Kurtis Blow!Kurtis Blow!At midnight Ganamede came in To watch the dancers move and spin He took a seat over by the bar And started smokin'a big cigar "Iadmit the stranger is not bad But tonight I'mgonna make him sad 'CauseI don'tcare about the groove There ain'tno dude gonna make me move!"The joint was jumpin'hard at one But Ganamede was havin'none Things were really fly at two The stranger rapped and the tension grew But Ganamede maintained his cool "I'llmake the stranger play the fool 'CauseI don'tcare about the groove There ain'tno dude gonna make me move!"The showdown came at three o'clockThe stranger said ,"I'mgonna make you rock I'mgonna make you move ,I'mgonna make you dance ,They'regonna take you out in an ambulance Now everybody lend a hand I'mgonna make you be the band There ain'tno jive ,no superstition We'regonna have a little demolition Get down!Now stomp your feet To the funky beat Just clap your hands And let the beat expand Let me here the bass Put it in my face Let the guitar play Just put it away And now I think we'vegot the groove So Ganamede ,get up and move!"Now everyone looked at the bar At the lonely man with the big cigar He began to move ,he began to shake He'dhad as much as he could take He took his body to the floor And then the crowd began to roar The stranger just had done the deed And rocked the house with Ganamede .From three to four he couldn'tstop From four to five he just had to rock From five to six he let it loose At seven he still had the juice At eight o'clockhe was goin'strong Gettin'down with every song At nine o'clockhe couldn'tdance And someone called an ambulance As they put him in the back Of that big white shiny Cadillac He said "Pleaseget me Kurtis Blow There'ssomething that he ought to know"He said "Ithought I'dmake my name By beatin'you at the rappin'game But you beat me fair and square And anyway ,I just don'tcare ."The stranger asked him what he meant Said Ganamede ,"Iam content I never used to catch a groove I never used to dance or move But it'smore fun to play the fool Than tryin'hard to be real cool So anytime you'reback in town I'mgonna get up and I'mgonna get down!"The stranger watched him drive away Knowing what he'ddone that day And then he went right back inside To make the dancers slip and slide To rock 'emout ,to rock 'emin ,To make 'emrock it down again And he said "Ifyou like my sound Let me hear you all say ...Throw down!Throw down!At the showdown!At the showdown!Throw down!Throw down!At the showdown!At the showdown!Now stomp your feet To the funky beat Just clap your hands And let the beat expand Let me here the bass Put it in my face Let the guitar play Just put it away Arockon!Guitar score
