Hillbilly Rap lyrics

(William Attaway/Irving Burgie/Bernard Edwards/Paul Henning/Nile Rogers)

Day o,
Day-ay-ay-o.
Say daylight come an` me wanna go home.
Daylight come an` me wanna go home.
Daylight come an` me wanna go home.
Daylight come an` me wanna go home.

Hey Mr. Tallyman, come tally me banana.
Say, daylight come an` me wanna go home.
All you people come an` play on the piano.
Daylight come an` me wanna go home.

Let`s Do It!

All right.

Whoah, listen to a story `bout a man named Jed.
A poor mountain hillbilly, he kept his family fed.
And then one day, he was shootin` at some food,
An` up through the ground come a bubblin` crude.
(A bub-bub-bubblin` crude.)
Bub-bub-bub-bubblin` crude.

We-we-well, the first thing you know, old Jed`s a millionaire.
The kinfolk said: `Jed, move away from there.`
He said: `California is the place you oughta be.`
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.
(B-B-B-Beverly.)
B-B-B-Beverly.
Instrumental Break.

Whoah, listen to a story `bout a man named Jed.
A poor mountain hillbilly, he kept his family fed.
And then one day, he was shootin` at some food,
An` up through the ground come a bubblin` crude.
(A bub-bub-bubblin` crude.)
Bub-bub-bub-bubblin` crude.

Hey, well, the first thing you know, old Jed`s a millionaire.
The kinfolk said: `Jed, move away from there.`
He said: `California is the place you oughta be.`
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.
(B-B-B-Beverly.)
B-B-B-Beverly.
I said hip hop hip hip hippity hip hip hop,
You don`t stop rockin` to the bang bang boogie,
Sit up, jump the boogie to the rythmn of the boogie to be.
I said what you hear is not on text, I`m a rappin` to the beat.

I said ah yeah, wonderland,
I brought two friends along.
And next on the mop is my mate Hank,
C`mon Hank, sing that song.
Check it out.
Well I`m a CAS and an OVA,
And the rest is FLY.
You see I go by the name of gastronomic,
For these reasons, I`ll tell you why.
I said hotel, motel, Holiday Inn.
I said if your brush got zapped enough
Then you take your friend.

Day o,
Day-ay-ay-o.
Say daylight come an` me wanna go home.
Say daylight come an` me wanna go home.
Daylight come an` me wanna go home.
Daylight come an` me wanna go home.
