The Show Lyrics


[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
The most exciting stage show you've ever witnessed
Appearing live, Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew(Oh my God!)[Doug & Rick]
Excuse me Doug E Fresh
Yes?
Have you ever seen a show with fellas on the mic
With one minute rhymes that don't come out right
They bite, they never write, that's not polite
Am I lying?
No, you're quite right
Well tonight on this very mic you're about to hear
We swear, the best darn rappers of the year
So, so, cheerio, yell, scream bravo
Also, if you didn't know this is called The Show
[Doug & Rick]
A-yo Doug
What?

Put your Ballys on
Yo Rick, I was about to but I need a shoe horn
Why?
Because these shoes always hurt my corns
Six minutes...
Six minutes...
Six minutes Doug E Fresh you're on
Uh uh on, uh uh on, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh uh uh on
Uh uh on, uh uh on, uh-huh-uh-huh-uh uh uh on
Uh uh on(Is it real?)
[Doug & Rick]
Here we go (here we go) come on (come on)
Here we go (here we go) come on (come on)
Yo, where's Will and Barr?
Well I don't know they're late
Told 'em the time, oh I forgot the date
Man, you did it again, oh no
Yo, here we go, come on, here we go, come on
Here we go, did you miss the show
No, no, no-no-no no we didn't
No no-no-no no-no-no no we didn't
No we didn't, well don't get us wrong
Excuse me Doug E...
Excuse me Doug E...
Excuse me Doug E Fresh you're on
Uh uh on[Doug E Fresh]
Well it started off on 8th Avenue
When I made up the name called the Get Fresh Crew
It was me, my two DJs Chill Will and Barry B
And my right hand man Ricky D
I used to rap and sing, make sounds and things
And for example, here's a telephone ring{Ring, ring} Hello, is Doug E Fresh in?
No, he's not in right now {click}But anyway, no more delay
Just check out the new style I display
Now you got to be (fresh)
To rock with (fresh)
And I'm D-O-U-G-I-E (fresh)
And I'm known for the... {Doug E Fresh beatbox}
Not for the... {Fat Boys beatbox}
The human beat box or the entertainer
No other title can fit me plainer
In a passing generation, I am a remainer
And I'm also known as the beatbox trainer
Cashing checks, make sound effects
And after I finish rocking, Slick Rick is on next
(You know it) Slick Rick![Slick Rick]
Well, here's a little something that needs to be heard
Doug, I was going downtown (word, Rick?) Word!
(Sure) all alone, no one to be with
Stepped on the D-Train at 205th
I saw a pretty girl (so?) so I sat beside her
Then she went roar like she was Tony the Tiger
I said hold on, there's been a mistake
Honey, my name's Slick Rick not Frostie Flakes
(Oh, golly wolly) Cause she was raising hell
She said, um, my name is Maggie but call me Michelle
Michelle, my belle
Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
Slick Rick and 'em rock the house you know I'm saying
And when I'm on the mic there won't be no delaying
Bust a move, we show and prove
A-yo Doug, do that record Jam On The Groove[Outro: Doug E Fresh]
As you can see, most definitely, we are (fresh)
Chill Will (fresh)
Barry B (fresh)
Ricky D (fresh)
And I am the original human beat box, the entertainer, Doug E (fresh)

Doug E. Fresh (born Douglas E. Davis, 17 September 1966, in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands) is an American rapper, record producer, and beatboxer. One of the earliest beatboxers (and still seen as one of the best), Fresh is able to imitate drum machines and various special effects with often startling accuracy. Fresh's early records are out of print, and have never been released on compact disc; thus original records can command high prices.

He was born in St. Thomas, but came to the United States with his family when he was young.

His recording debut was 1983's single "Pass the Budda," also featuring Spoonie Gee and DJ Spivey. However, Fresh's breakthrough was 1984's "Beat Street" behind the Treacherous Three. That same year saw Fresh's debut as a solo artist with the singles "Just Having Fun" and "Original Human Beatbox".

Fresh became a major rap star in 1985. His single "The Show/La Di Da Di," is considered an early hip hop classic. The "Get Fresh Crew" was featured: DJs Barry B., Chill Will, and MC Ricky D (who would later achieve fame as Slick Rick).

In 1987, Fresh's first full-length record was issued. Called Oh, My God!, this included a few more notable tracks such as ("Play This Only at Night" and "All the Way to Heaven") and was critically hailed for incorporating elements of reggae and gospel music. The next year saw another long player, The World's Greatest Entertainer, which appeared on Billboard magazine's charts due in part to a popular single, "Keep Risin' to the Top". Slick Rick's input was not appreciated by their joint record label, Fantasy Records, and he was asked to leave the group. However, subsequently Slick Rick released his own solo debut The Great Adventures of Slick Rick on Def Jam, to big success.

Fresh did not record again until 1992's Doin' What I Gotta Do, issued by MC Hammer's Bust It Records. Rap had changed appreciably in the interim, and Fresh seemed a little lost. The record performed poorly.

In 1995, Slick Rick and Fresh reunited for a record entitled Play which found Fresh back on his feet. Play received positive reviews; Bret Love writes that the record is "a welcome flashback to the days when guns, drugs, sex and violence were not the genre's primary lyrical focus."[1]

In the late 1990s, Fresh collaborated with Prince on a number of recordings, notably Newpower Soul and the "1999, the New Master" EP. Recently, Fresh has appeared on VH1's I Love the 80s.

Fresh is a Scientologist and has performed for large audiences of Scientologists at the annual Scientology Celebrity Centre Gala in both 2004 and 2005. He also recorded a couple of songs on the Scientology music album "The Joy of Creating" along with Isaac Hayes, and Chick Corea.
