Hey DJ / I Can’t Dance (To That Music You’re Playing)

Lyrics

[Intro: The Beatmasters] Mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm [Verse 1: Betty Boo] I can't dance to that rhythm that you be playing That style is old, sold out and dated, dated back And yo, what's up? We used to shake it up How dare you ever care to play that trash You best prepare to go away No more tit-for-tat, Jack 'Cause I can't dance to that [Chorus: The Beatmasters] I can't dance to that music you're playin' Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune I can't dance to that music you're playin' You better get yourself together You'd better do it soon [Verse 2: Betty Boo] I need a rhythm to be hype and thumping I want it hot like it's coming from an oven I wanna be dancing and moving Betty Boo on the mic and doing the business So get with this Doing this in the flesh, you just can't resist From hoeing and going out every night And Betty Boo's quite irritated, you're terminated My mind's made up, can't be persuaded It lacks a certain punch, that certain edge Betty Boo's the best thing since sliced bread I've had enough, yes, I want to cut So take your crusty beats with you and dust 'Cause lately, you ain't been up to scratch And I can't dance to that [Chorus: The Beatmasters] I can't dance to that music you're playin' Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune I can't dance to that music you're playin' You better get yourself together You'd better do it soon [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] (Boogie!) [Verse 3: Betty Boo] Came to your door, said you were busy You had a visit from your Aunt Lizzy So what we did was we postponed Our dope beat session 'till she'd flown home So I thought I'd practice all by myself But realized I'd left my lyrics file on your shelf I couldn't believe at what I found Saw you and Aunt Lizzy getting on down You can't imagine at what I saw It wasn't Aunt Lizzy, but a cheap dumb broad That was the last straw, wouldn't take no more Walked out the door, what would I stay for? He lied, but never tried More interested in a bit on the side But never mind, I've got better things to do So all my best wishes from Betty Boo [Chorus: The Beatmasters] I can't dance to that music you're playin' Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune I can't dance to that music you're playin' You better get yourself together You'd better do it soon I can't dance to that music you're playin' (I can't dance, no, baby) Stop, think it over and rewrite your tune I can't dance to that music you're playin' (I can't dance, no, baby) You better get yourself together You'd better do it soon [Outro: Betty Boo] I can't dance to that
