Funk rock,
new wave and soul
Pop music, salsa, rock and roll
Clips on reggae, rhythm and blues
Master mix notes, number one tunes
Play that favorite song of mine
And accept my calls on the request line
The DJ will play it just for you
But I gotta get biz and show
I know how to
Play that beat,
watch what you play for me
Swing it, kick it, play that beat
Watch what you play for me
Swing it, kick it, play that beat
Play that beat
DJs come and DJs go
Real DJs know how to rock a show
Various blends,
serious cuts and scratches
Original styles,
mysterious techniques mastered
Play the hot joints and never
talk too much
Into the competition,
you ain't jacked, you suck
Come and try to test your
royal highness
Blessed with finesse,
plus we always impress
All around the world, DJs spin the sound
Lay it flat to the mat like that,
pin you down
Pure, secure, like a chemist with a cure
Yo, play that beat,
I wanna hear it some more
Play that beat, play that beat,
play that beat, beat, beat
Play that beat, play that play that beat,
beat, beat
Play that beat, play that beat,
play that that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
Play it, kick it, play it for the punk rock
Play it for the hip -hop
They used to do it out in the park
Play it on the radio
Cut it up, brain, cut it up, brain
Cut it up, sling, cut it up, sling
Cut it up, scrubs, cut it up, scrubs
Play it in the street
Just play that beat, play it, dig it
Play that beat,
why don't you play it for me?
Switch to me, Mr. DJ, play that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
Switch to me, Mr. DJ, play that beat
Play that beat
Play that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
And you can play it, play it,
and play it and play it and play it
And play it all night long
And I'll listen to it over and over again
and again and again and again
And you can play my song
And you'll just keep on dancing,
keep on dancing
Having fun till the morning sun
And the DJ will play it just for you
But you gotta get biz
and show you know how to
Play that beat, got a fight
Play that beat, DJ
Play that beat, got a fight
Play that beat, DJ
Play that beat
Play that beat
Play that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
Play it, kick it
Yo son, we be holdin' it down
The DJ's illin' while I'm
killin' it now
Skillin' it now,
I know you're feelin' it now
In this battle try your fate
as I'm sealin' it now
I be the baddest,
with or without any status
Bound to kick ass when
I smash the apparatus
So play that beat
Just play that beat, play it, kick it
Who's the man with the music program?
DJ, DJ
Who's the man that'll make you dance?
DJ, DJ
Who's the one that plays
your favorite songs?
DJ, DJ
Say play that beat
Just play that beat, play it,
kick it
R -r -rock -rock, r -rock -rock,
r -r -rock -rock the beat!
One! Two! Three!
