[Chorus]
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is a MC if he can't rap?
What is a beat without a live clap?
Well, I can do it all, baby, just like that
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is a MC if he can't rap?
What is a beat without a live clap?
Well, I can do it all, baby, just like that
Party people all around
Can (can) can (can) can you get down?
I wanna see you dance to my dangerous beats
Everybody freak (freak) freak (freak) freak
Baby baby baby
Baby doll, you know who I am?
I rock two turntables with Uncle Jam
I'm the Egyptian Lover, baby, I'm #1
I'm a mixin', scratchin', record-lovin' son of a gun
I'll rock, rock the live dances on a freaky night
With the Egyptian Lover, it's gonna be right
Make all the pretty girls scream while they dance
I'm the Egyptian Lover, king of romance
[Chorus]
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is a MC if he can't rap?
What is a beat without a live clap?
Well, I can do it all, baby, just like that
Baby (baby), baby (baby), ba-ba baby
Baby (baby), baby (baby), ba-ba baby
(Music) baby, baby, (music) ba-ba baby
(Music) baby, baby, (music) ba-ba baby
Change the beat!
I'm the Egyptian Lover with a hard rock beat
Jammin' so hard, make your grandma freak
There's not another beat runnin' harder than mine
It's the beat of the future, 'bout to blow your mind
[Chorus]
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is a MC if he can't rap?
What is a beat without a live clap?
Well, I can do it all, baby, just like that
Like this!
Boom
Boom
Boom
Boom
(Egyptian Lover's in the house)
I'm the Egyptian Lover with a hard rock beat
Jammin' so hard, make your grandma freak
There's not another beat runnin' harder than mine
It's the beat of the future, 'bout to blow your mind
[Chorus]
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is a MC if he can't rap?
What is a beat without a live clap?
Well, I can do it all, baby, just like that
What is a DJ if he can't scratch?
What is a MC if he can't rap?
What is a beat without a live clap?
Well, I can do it all, baby, just like that
Do it all!
I can do it all!
