Roxanne, Roxanne Lyrics By Utfo

    kangol kid emd
    yo emd
    yeah what’s up man
    there goes that girl they call roxanne she’s all stuck up
    why do you say that
    ’cause she wouldn’t give a guy like me no rap

    kangol kid
    man she was walking down the street so i said hello
    i’m kangol from utfo and she said so
    and i said so baby don’t you know
    i can sing rap and dance in just one show
    ’cause i’m kangol mr sophisticata
    as far as i know ain’t nobody greater
    from beginning to end and to beginning
    i never lose because i’m all about winning
    but if i was to lose i wouldn’t be upset
    ’cause i’m not a gambler i don’t bet
    i don’t be in no casino and baby while you knizzow
    that izzi is the grizzeat kizzangizzol
    i thought she’d be impressed and give me devious rap
    i thought i had her caught inside my sinister trap
    i thought it’d be a piece of cake but it was nothing like that
    i guess that’s what i get for thinking ain’t that right black
    then trizzy to cizzome and see nizzumber wizzone
    crizzew rizzockin’ tizzo a vizzan just like a gizzun
    with a bang bang brother i feel bad
    but i ain’t committing suicide for no crab
    calling her a crab is just a figure of speech
    ’cause she’s an apple a pear a plum and a peach
    i thought i had it in the palm of my hand
    but man oh man if i was grand i’d bang roxanne

    hook
    roxanne roxanne can’t you understand
    roxanne roxanne i wanna be your man

    emd
    yo kangol i don’t think that you’re dense
    but you went about the matter with no experience
    you should know she doesn’t need a guy like you
    she needs a guy like me with a high iq
    and she’ll take to my rap ’cause my rap’s the best
    the educated rapper md will never fess
    so when i met her i wasted no time
    but stuck up roxanne paid me no mind
    she thought my name was barry i told her it was gary
    she said she didn’t like it so she chose to call me barry
    she said she’d love to marry my baby she would carry
    and if we had a baby we’d name the baby harry
    her mother’s name is mary which is really quite contrary
    her face is really hairy and you can say it’s scary
    she lives in mt airy her father’s a fairy
    his wife’s a secretary his son’s in military
    they forced him to enlist i guess it wasn’t voluntary
    his daughter’s name is sherry his sons are tom and jerry
    jerry had the flu but it was only temporary
    back in january or was it february
    but every time i say this rhyme it makes me kinda weary
    it’s only customary to give this commentary
    some say it’s bad some say it’s legendary
    you search it all you want try your local library
    you’ll never find a rhyme like this in any dictionary
    but do you know after all that
    all i received was a pat on my back

    kangol kid
    that’s what you get it happened to me
    ain’t that right mixmaster ice

    hook
    roxanne roxanne
    roxanne roxanne

    doctor ice
    you thought you had her roped you thought you was cupid
    but emd your rap was plain stupid
    i know you’re educated but when will you learn
    not all girls want to be involved with bookworms
    you gotta be strong in a way she can’t resist
    so educated rapper huh bust this

    since she’s a new girl around the block
    i had to let her know i was the debonair doc
    i said i’d like to speak with you if i can
    and if i’m correct i hear your name is roxanne
    she said how’d you know my name i said it’s getting around
    right now baby you’re the talk of the town
    please let me walk you to the corner my rap will be brief
    she said i’ve seen you before you look like a thief
    i said me the doc a hood a rock
    running ’round the street robbing people on the block
    nah that’s not my style to crime i’m not related
    as far as i’m concerned i’m too sophisticated
    then it seemed i got through ’cause she cracked a smile
    that let me know my rap was worth her while
    she said you call yourself a doctor i said this is true
    she said explain to me really what doctors must do
    i said this is very rare ’cause i don’t say this every day
    there’s a million medical skills a doctor displays
    dermatology is treatment of the skin
    infected and you’ll see me you will never again
    there’s enthesiology ophthalmology
    internal medicine and plastic surgery
    orthopedic surgery and pathology
    a disease caused by the change of the body
    she said ooooh that’s very unique
    gave me her number and kissed me on the cheek
    she said she had to go but she’d be back by 8
    told me call her at 9 to arrange a date

    emd
    did you take her to the beach

    doctor ice
    that’s what we planned
    but she stood me up roxanne roxanne

    hook
    roxanne roxanne i wanna be your man
    roxanne roxanne and here’s our gameplan

    utfo
    the beat is here so we will reveal it
    and if you think it’s soft then roxanne feel it

    beat boxing and scratching
