[Chorus]
         E          G            A
Now just throw your hands in the air
    E                 G          A
And wave 'em like you just don't care
            E          G          A
And if your ready like Freddie to rock real steady
E        G    A        E  G
Somebody say, Oh yeah
      A               E             G          A    E
Young ladies, all the ladies in the house say, Owww

And you don't stop, come on, come on, come on, let me see you rock

[Verse]
       E        G    A
Ah get down and stop messing around
     E      G       A
When Kurtis Blow is in your town
    E           G      A
I'm Kurtis Blow on the microphone
  E            G      A
A place called Harlem was my home
      E           G       A
I was rocking one day, it started to shake
   E        G     A
It sound to me a-like a earthquake
E           G       A
I packed my bags, I said goodbye
E           G          A
I kissed my woman, and I started to fly
  E       G          A
I came to Earth by a meteorite
   E        G   A
To rock you all on the mic
        E             G               A
So just kick off your shoes, let your fingers pop
     E             G          A
with Kurtis Blow's just about ready to rock
    E             G               A
Now people in the back, if you're not the wack, say
E      G        A
"Don't stop the body rock!"
E             G             A
People in the front, if you want to bump, say
E       G       A
"Don't stop the body rock!"
E             G              A
People in the middle, if you want to wiggle, say
E      G        A
"Don't stop the body rock!"
E                 G                    A
And people on the side, if you want to slide, say:
E      G        A
"Don't stop the body rock!

[Chorus]
