Lyrics for Shazam!

Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam I sneak a chicken tikka Masala at a gala event I represent that's stupid, that's for sure You be like, "Oh yeah Adam, real mature" I'd like a lettuce, tomato and Munster on rye All this cheese is gonna make me cry Gorgonzola, provolone Don't even get me started on this microphone Blowin' up like my name is Joe Bazooka I'm a super-dooper MC party pooper On a track so sick it'll make you feel all queasy Make you do like Fred Sanford with "I'm comin' Wheezy" Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam On the court I go by the name Praying Mantis Got the edge and I've got the advantage If you could see things from my vantage Point then you could better understand this I'm in the lab all day, I scrabble all night I got a bedazzler so my outfit's tight When it comes to panache, I can't be beat I got the most style from below 14th street Internationally known as the Keebler Elf Can't keep a catalog up on the shelf You know I splash on beats like sauce on spaghetti Putting MC's out of business like they're Crazy Eddie Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam I know you're sittin' pretty in the Hampty Hamps Posin' like you're rollin' with that camp In layman's terms let me break it down You're flippin' and floppin' just like a flounder I'm a hip-hop scholar while you're left back So Jeckle and Rush, go back to Lefrak I'm a simple man like Chauncey the Gardner I workin' nine to five Dolly Pardner I got rhymes for jerks that's bringin' on drama Which rhyme you want first, the one about your mama? Goodness gracious golly gee Shazam, freak out with the genie Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Everybody get down, huh Huh, huh-huh, huh Shazam I'm tell on you
