Hit me one time! Hit me twice!
My power's coming! My power's coming!
The panther's mightier than the sword
You're gonna hear my vocal chord
In the beginning there was high tech
In the beginning there was low tech
In the beginning there was the discotheque
We know what's good, we know what's bad
We know what's super bad
In the beginning there was rhythm
In the beginning there was drums
In the beginning Mr. Bassman
Perfect rhythm is the sign of a true thoroughbred
Meet drum aristocrat, Mr. David Robinson
A sucker for syncopation
Let your fingers do the walking
Let Mr. Bassman do the talking
The sound you are hearing in the background
Is the sound of Mr. Bassman and his bass
Mr. Bassman and his bass
The sound of plastic and elastic
That puts the whole alphabetical soup together
Mmm, tastes nice
Am I right? Am I wrong?
You'll find this mark where the beat goes on
Six strings at his disposal
Sixty-so in his solo
Mr. Monk White, Mr. Monk White
Tonight, tonight, and every night
With Monk White
Hitman, hitman, hitman
I'm swimming against the tide
Now, sax equals sex equals sax
Which makes Stephen pornographic
Telephone makes directory
Saxophone, whoo!
Saxophone, whoo!
Pimp it!
Listen!
Pimp it!
Listen!
Pimp it good, pimp it good
Pimp it good, pimp it good
Take it down!
Take it down to Mr. B!
And Mr. D!
Take it down to the drums, whoo!
Let's not forget the guy that rhymes moon with tune
And cools the tune
Let the golden throat preacher
And the golden feet teacher
Presenting Mr. Modern, rhyme, whoo!
Hitman, whoo!
I hold in my hand three letters
I hold in my hand three letters
A
B
C
Good God!
Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
Can't stand the fire, go to hell
Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
Can't stand the fire, go to...
Saxophone, whoo!
I said power!
I said my power's coming
I said power!
I said my power was coming
It's coming, coming again
So hitman, with some power
I said hitman, with some power
Saxophone, whoo!
A
Benjamin
B
I said
I got three good vitamins
Modern drugs, if you like
Three vitamins
I can't remember the first
Vitamin A
Vitamin B
I know
Vitamin A
Vitamin B
Vitamin C
Let's take it down
B
Can't stand the heat, get out of...
Saxophone, whoo!
