Ant Rap (Single Version) Lyrics by Adam and the Ants

Antmusic: The Very Best Of Adam Ant

1981

[Intro]
Rap up
Rap it up
Put some wax on the tracks and slide on out of here
Hane, hane, hane, hane, hane

[Verse 1]
Hatchets in the corner, ears to the ground
Improve to the groove, get down to the sound
Buttons and bows, and bleu, blanc, rouge
All things lively must be used
Liberté, egalité
Au jour d'hui c'est trés trés trés
Voici l'opportunité, nous incroyables
I got the moves, they got the grooves
Summon the gods, and they all approve
Bad vibes akimbo, on the shelf
Bit of a rap thing going for myself
These gold on the teeth, no sense at all
It only matters when it's on the wall
I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again

[Chorus]
Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee
Gary Tibbs and Yours Truly
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
I have the mouth

[Verse 2]
So tired of anarchists looking at me
Don't need their credibility
"Destroy," they say, "Defy", "Condemn"
As long as you don't destroy them
With twenty years of drugs and drink
I thought the time had come to think
About standing up and saying that
It's a tragedy and such old hat
I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again

[Chorus]
I’ve got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee
Gary Tibbs and Yours Truly
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
I have the mouth

[Harpsichord break]

[Verse 3]
These happy feet are all we need
Summon the gods, and they all agreed
These feet won't stop, they're in such a hurry
I knock it on the head, and I go for a curry
Staying sober can be neat
Yes, right down to these happy feet
Keep on trying to pin me down
Why a title for your sound?
I'm standing here with my four men
Let’s do this rapping thing again

[Chorus]
I’ve got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee
Gary Tibbs and Yours Truly
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, I have the mouth
In the Naughty North and in the Sexy South
We're all singing, and I have the mouth
And you have the mouth
And he got the mouth
