Dana Dane Is Coming To Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] That's right, party people, Dana Dane is back Hurby's behind the board of the twenty-fo' track machine Making sure the beats come out clean As I tell you this tale of a Christmas scene It all began in a far-off land Do you know the Drummer Boy? Well, I'm the Rapper Man I wandered and wandered with no main course Drawn to a campsite by some strange force Now, in this camp lived three wise men They said, "Dana Dane, where have you been?" They said that they had been expecting me Told me to kick off my sandals and relax my feet We started to talk, a lot of time was spent Tellin' how emcees wouldn't be content 'Til the Christmas spirit was gone and demolished And I was the only one who could abolish their plan So I took a stand But they said I must journey across the land I said, "Listen, my friends, I'll be glad to go But the sand out there is worse than snow" The first wise man said, "Yes, that's true" To protect my feet, gave me Bally shoes The second wise man said, "Yes, you're right" And gave me a Kangol to shade my eyes The third wise man, leaning on a cane Said, "Take this mic, rapper Dana Dane" He said that the mic would help my words Of Christmas cheer be clearly heard [Refrain: Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers] Got to get, got to get Got to, got to, got to get money [Verse 2] Well, I started my journey at the first light I traveled the desert for a fortnight I sighed, I tried, the North Star my guide Pulled my Kangol over my eyes Took off my Ballys, dumped the sand on the side Put my Ballys back on and continued my stride Off I went through the sand and mist Taking all types of chances and all kinds of risks It was Christmas Eve, time was growing short Then I came upon the place that I had sought Went up to the door, straight in the palace Faces were filled with contempt and malice Up on the stage, what did I see? That's right, party people, a sucker emcee Went up on the stage, plugged in my mic To the sucker emcee, I said, "Good night" Off he went, he was steamin' mad Talk about relief, the crowd was glad I said, "Have no fear, 'cause I am here To wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" I continued on, they began to believe And the Christmas spirit was soon retrieved The fingers were poppin', the house cold rockin' Talk about staring, girls were cold clocking Mission complete, I was on my way Girls in back of me screamin', "Dane, please stay!" But I couldn't 'cause I had done my thing And as I walked out the door, I heard them all sing "Sucker emcees, you better watch out All emcees, you gotta watch out Dana Dane is coming to town" [Refrain: Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers] Got to get, got to get Got to, got to, got to get money [Outro] Dana Dane is coming Dana Dane is coming Yes, Dana Dane is coming To town
