Sylvia Robinson - It's Good To Be the Queen Lyrics

* organized by Rhino comp. for convenience regardless of original



Ahh, ooh, ahh, ohh, ahh, ohh, ahh, ohh

I'm Sylvia, that's the name

Rappin Queen's my claim to fame

Gonna tell you a story you didn't know

Get ready get set, cause here I go

I knew the land, of Rappersville

Castle on a mount called Sugar Hill

Like Diana Ross said loud and clear:

"This is my house, I live here!"

We have a King, I must confess --

we share everything cause we love the best

We have money and friends of every kind

Friends are his, money's mine

My every wish, is his command

Furs everyday at the wave of my hand

I consider myself a fortunate lady

sporting my Rolls, and grey Mercedes

Ahhhh, ha ha ha! *singers come in*



[Chorus]

Ohh yes it's good to be the Queen, ohh la la

Gee but it's good to be the Queen

(sing it girls/what it is, is what is is/sing it girls/sing it girls/well)

You can be sure about one thing, ohh la la

Ma oui/Ohh yes!/ma oui/Ohh yes!/ma ouiIt's good to be the Queen



The Queen of Sugar Hill, ahhh...

We partied all day in the castle all night

All the VIP's of the world was in sight

Drinks were free so was the fun

There was more than enough for everyone

So Sammy and Frankie, mingle in the crowd

Heard Stevie and Michael, singin out loud

They were hippin and hoppin all over the place

Bangin the boogie right in my face

I got on the mic and I started to rap

Feet start slappin, hands began to clap

They were cuttin up records, faster and faster

But no one did it like our Grandmaster

The fun I had, I could not measure

This rappin, is a sho nuff treasure

The people all stood and began to scream

As somebody yelled, "Long... live the Queen"



[Chorus]



It's good to be the Queen!

Badi mbatu badi mbatu badi mbatu badi mbat

Badi mbatu BADI MBATU badi mbatu badi mbatu



It started back, in seventy-nine

My whole darn future, was on the line

I created, a brand, new sensation

Through my mind and the whole darn nation

With the Big Bank Hank, the Wonder Mike

And this kid called Master G (that's me)

Well would you believe their Rapper's Delight

went down in history, hahaha!



[Chorus]



I'll never forget, the King of Kings...

Break it on down

Funk...



Badi mbatu badi mbatu badi mbatu badi mbat

Badi mbatu BADI MBATU badi mbatu badi mbatu



Mmm... Sugar Hill, funk

Your fantasy, is my reality



[Chorus]

[Chorus]



It's good, so good, good, mmmmm

It's good, so good, good, hahahaha, mmmmm

I like it
