[Intro]
Now I'm the one they call Kool Kyle
With a brand new beat and funky rhyme
C'mon everybody tell me what's the time
(It's rockin' time, rock-rockin' time!)
Ya!
Ha-ha
[Verse 1]
Are you ready to rock (We're ready to rock!)
Are you sure you're ready? (We're ready to rock!)
Well if you think you're ready and you want to show it
What do you say? (You know it!)
C'mon y'all, let's celebrate
It's that time of year when you gotta break
Bright sunshine, roller-coaster rides
People wanna party and socialize
Well you know what, Kool Kyle is here
Starchild, yeah, inside your ear
Invitin' you to hang out with me
A real good time I can guarantee
No matter who you are or where you're at
If you're short, tall, skinny or fat
If you got rheumatism and an aching back
I'll put you right in the middle of a freak attack
That spells relief because I got it like that
So put on your skates, spin the wheels
Get ready to move, 'cause I'm for real
Come along party people, take a trip with me
Make sure you got your [?]
We're gonna blast off, hold on tight
In a couple of seconds we'll be out of sight
Come on everybody, let's make that move
At the count of three, get into your groove
One, two, one, two and three!
[Verse 2]
I know you're at the party, holdin' up the walls
Your friends are gettin' down and havin' a ball
The ground is shakin' and the crowd is breakin'
And the walls are moving and the people are creeping
So what do you, tell me what do you?
Get loose, get loose, that's what you do
So forget your troubles and your hang on
(It's rockin' time, rock-rockin' time!)
We don't have time for all that stuff
(So come alive, come alive!)
I said leave your troubles and your 9 to 5
(It's rockin' time, rock-rockin' time!)
I said there ain't no time for all that jive
(So come alive, come alive!)
Don't worry about your gas tank bein' on E
(It's rockin' time, rock-rockin' time!)
We got party power, pure energy
Well you need help, you need fast relief
So just listen arggghh, listen to me
I said rock in the morning, rock at night
Rock your body and rock it right
I said rock at school, rock at the job
When things get rough, keep rockin' hard
Rock if you're young, rock if you're old
Even if you're shy, or if you're bold
It's never too late to reach your goal
Just put your mind in cruise control
You got to tell yourself, it ain't no thing
Even if you don't have diamond rings
Get up out your seat, go right ahead
Don't waste no time, can you dig what I said
Reach for the stars, [?]
Let the world know huh, that you're the best
If you got the message and need the beat
Like a taste of honey, slick and sweet
Like earth, wind and fire, can you feel the heat
Like cold cash money, it can't be beat
Well you're looking good and you're rockin' hard
You know you are a superstar
Now you're rappin' to the rhythm of the natural high
Your body's in motion and you're energized
The beat is on, you can't resist
Like Pumpkin says, rock this!
[Interlude]
Now what we need is motivation
Give me some crowd participation
When I say ooh, and I say ahh
You follow me with ooh-ahh-ahh
I said ooh, ahh (Come on)
(Ooh ahh ooh-ahh-ahh!)
Ooh, ahh (Yeah)
(Ooh ahh ooh-ahh-ahh!)
Well you did real good, you deserve a taste
So watch out y'all, here comes the bass
[Verse 3]
Young ladies and all the fly girls
Lookin' sweet in your jheri curls
If you never been rocked like this before
Young ladies say "Some more" (Some more!)
So now party people, you're looking good
I see y'all rockin' like I knew you could
The young and old, and in between
They're all gettin' down to the Kool Kyle beat
From New York town to crazy L.A
Like an epidemic in the fifty states
From on top of the world, to the other side
Everybody knows it's rockin' time
It can hit you fast, it can hit you slow
But when it gets in your body, I'm sure you know
The rockin' pneumonia, it's spreading fast
So tell your doctor you gotta dance
No Tylenol, 'cause doctors say
When you feel this good, you gotta wait
To get down, get down, get-get on down
Get funky, yeah, ya hear the sound
Let's party, and everybody
And everybody, c'mon let's party
I said one more time, before I go
I'm gonna get the show, get it up and go!
Say what's my name (Kool Kyle!)
And what do they call me (Starchild!)
And you know it, let's rock it
Don't stop it, to the beat y'all
Rock rock y'all, and don't stop!
And now party people, tell everyone
If you think you're on and you're second to none
Say number one (Number one!)
Are you number one? (We're number one!)
Well the time is up and I gotta go
There's one more thing I have to know
So tell me y'all, say what's the time?
(It's rockin' time, rock-rockin' time!)
I said tell me y'all, say what's the time?
(It's rockin' time, rock-rockin' time!)
Go on and on and on on and on
On and on and on on and on
