Lyrics

[Intro] Rasheed, say no! (No!) And Curtis T, say no! (No!) And Rodney D, say no! (No!) And everybody say no, no, no more Roxanne! [Verse 1: Rasheed; Curtis T; Rodney D] Yo, Curtis T! Yo, what's up man? You know I heard another record about Roxanne And I'm all fed up Why do you say that? Because everyone thinks she's where it's at Now when it first came out, I thought the record was cool Now you're tryin' take me for bein' a fool With a Roxanne over here, Roxanne over there Next thing I hear, Roxanne's everywhere First it was Roxanne with UTFO Followеd by Shanté, a girl we didn't care to know She placеd the blame on some used-to-be friends And before you know it, Roxanne's Revenge The crew said no, can we take the stand? Can we prove to the world we have The Real Roxanne? But I have to give credit where credit is due Sparky D told the world "Roxanne, you're through!" And every time I hear another, I say "Oh brother" Will the real Roxanne ever be discovered? Let me tell you right now, gettin' out of hand Turn your radio on and hear a new Roxanne A thousand girls must have that name Tryin' get records made and claim some fame But there's one thing, people, I don't understand Why'd they make a record saying Roxanne's a man? [Chorus] Y'all say no (No!) If you're tired of the Rox, say no (No!) If you're [?] by the beat, say no (No!) [?] see you say no, no, no more Roxanne! [Verse 2: Rasheed; Curtis T; Rodney D] There's Roxanne's doctor, Roxanne's brother And pretty soon you'll hear about her mother So plan ahead and buy some stock Shanté is sayin' she's the Queen of the Rox There's too many records about Roxanne Now don't you think one's enough, my man? Now it's three, four, making even more They'll cover your ceiling, even the floor I know these records are in big demand But we don't want no more Roxanne Well, I'm gettin' tired of the Roxanne beat Now they're doin' the Roxanne every week You see, we're not tryin' to fess or come down on you But you got to have a beat that's fresh and new! [Chorus] So all you ladies, say no (No!) And all you fellas, say no (No!) Party people in the place, say no (No!) And everybody out there, say no, no, no more Roxanne! [Verse 3: Rasheed; Curtis T; Rodney D] And we know all the DJs are goin' insane Because they're tired of hearing that same old name People breakin' on each other all around the world Why they pickin' on Roxanne? There's other girls Like Wanda, Shavaughn, Sue and Lynn And at another time we'll speak on them But for right now we cannot fuss 'Cause we'll break on any girl that tries to break on us There's been a lot of records that people do 'Cause after Roxanne one came Roxanne two And the Roxanne jam continues to support All their lawyers and their crew, they had to go to court 'Cause all the Roxanne records sound the same They didn't even change the name, must we explain To everybody who wants to tease Hollering "No more Roxanne records please!" [Verse 4: Rasheed] Now if you want the Roxanne records to stop Well throw your hands in the air, and let your fingers pop Do a slide to the side, let your body glide Coming from the top but you're pulling to the side Put the Roxanne craze to an end Let the final countdown stop at ten Shanté was right as she could be By saying "Why did you have to make a record 'bout me?" [Verse 5: Rasheed; Curtis T; Rodney D] So all you DJs, just take a stand And let this record here be the last Roxanne We're not tellin' you all to have a heart of stone But to leave that girl Roxanne alone But when the party stops and the cool [?] We're all gonna say no more Roxanne! [Outro] We'll put on a show, and let them know We'll scratch Roxanne from head to toe! [Scratching] Do it! We're the East Coast and we took a stand Sing along with us, no more Roxanne Like this! No, no, no more Roxanne No, no, no more Roxanne No, no, no more Roxanne No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne (No!) No, no, no more Roxanne
