Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam
[Run-D.M.C.]
The alert is read, this is what we said
The meaning of Master means he's ahead
The meaning of Jam is a re-cording
The records that he playin when the crowd's up on it
And when he comes on, the crowd goes off
It's all hard rock, there's nothing soft
[24 second instrumental guitar break]
He's a one-man band, in his own right
Jam Master jams to the broad daylight
No instruments needed, just two record players
A stage, a crowd, and two rhyme sayers
[Run]
Ingredients are here, so have no fear
Definitely defy the position is clear
[Run-D.M.C.]
You couldn't be late, hesitate to debate
Jam Master is here and you could not wait
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam
[half of guitar riff]
["WHOO!" scratched repeatedly]
[half of guitar riff + "WHOO!"]
[Run-D.M.C.]
Now he's the Jam Master, and we're the MC's
Like lightning and thunder, we're knockin down trees
While sucker DJ's, are bustin out Z's
My man Jam Master's scratchin hard 'cross seas
So why don't you listen, or you'll be missin
The cuts and the scratchin bass treble and the mixin
The force and the power comin hour after hour
So get up off the walls don't you be a wallflower
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'
Couldn't wait to see, the Master jam
[half of guitar riff + "WHOO!"]
Couldn't wait to see, Jam Master jammin'

His gift so swift, his eyes so sly
His cuts so fresh and our rhymes so fly
Sounds so good that you can't pass by
This hit we can't deny and I tell no lie
["WHOO!" scratched]
[Run-D.M.C.]
His name Jam Master, call him Jay
The crowd goes wild when he starts to play
Everything is correct, and A.O.K.
Jam Master's on the move but his sounds will stay
[24 seconds of scratching and "WHOO!" samples]
[Run-D.M.C.]
He adds a little soul, to rock'n'roll
Every record that he touches, turns to gold
He's well conducted, self-instructed
His style's worthwhile, heavenly constructed
Mechanically inclined, and if you don't mind
He adds spice to your life time after time
I think it's bout time, to heed the long lecture
We rock our rhymes for the Jam Master

From end to start, start to end
Not only does he scratch, but he's our friend
We could not wait, to let you see
[Run] The things that he does for D and me
