[Intro: Biz Markie]
Huh-huh, uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh
Y'all know, uh-huh, uh, uh-huh
Y'all know, uh, uh uh-huh
Check it out (Come on!)

[Verse 1: Biz Markie]
Don't go to Getty, go to Exxon
Like "Bonita Applebum," ya gotta put me on
Got good luck like Lucky Charms leprechaun
Can't believe Freaky Tah and Big L is gone
You think I'm a mailman with my delivery
Ain't no other brother like the B-I with the Z
Emezah-A-Rrrah, say K-I with the E
I got mo' rhymes than Muhammad Ali
Not number one but here to have fun
Guaranteed to proceed and get the job done
Y'all know my competition is none
Funky funky fresh from the day I begun
You rock with me, you're guaranteed to have a ball
Got a big belly, over six feet tall
My favorite team is the Vikings when I watch football
Here's another one to get you off the wall

[Chorus]
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear shit up-up-up (Come on!)

[Verse 2: Biz Markie]
Soon to be elected in the Hall of Fame
I rock the microphone, emceeing's my game
I flip so many styles, my name should be Flipper
On Three's Company, I wish I was Jack Tripper
Back in the days, I used to eat {?}litina{?}
Back in the days, my sister had a Thumbelina
Back in the days, I liked a girl named Angelina
Back in the days, I wanted to get in between her
My jingle bella, always Roc-A-Fella
Even my acapella will be a best seller
She couldn't believe what I had achieved
Funky like ring around the collar, doo doo on the sleeves
Enquiring minds always want to know
How did I get my ill freestyle flow?
I just tell 'em straight up without no B
Ask me no questions yo, here's my ID

[Chorus]
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear shit up-up-up (Come on!)

[Verse 3: Biz Markie]
I'm not Captain Kirk, or Mr. Spock
When I put the party people in a state of shock
I'm like Mark Twain, or Shakespeare
'Cause when I'm on the stage, people throw they hands in the air
Wavin 'em wild, like in a frenzy
Dog in the house like I'm Spuds MacKenzie
I'm just doin it, just rockin' the house
Sucker MC's is quiet as a mouse
Comin' off the top of my head
I'm not dumb so don't be misled
When I was young, I never pissed in the bed
Always listened to what my moms and pops said
Love reggae so much, you could call me a dread
Got a big belly so you know I'm well-fed
And I'm a lover-lover like my name is Ed
And I'm too awesome like K and Teddy Ted

[Chorus]
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear shit up-up-up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear-shit up (Come on!)
He's Biz Markie, as you can see
He came to tear-tear-tear shit up-up-up (Come on!)

Marcel Theo Hall (born April 8, 1964), better known by his stage name Biz Markie, is an American rapper, beatboxer, DJ, comedian, singer, reality television personality, and commercial spokesperson. He is best known for his hit single “Just a Friend” and has been called “the Clown Prince of Hip Hop.”

Markie found a love of music through his father, a multi-instrumentalist who played in local Long Island clubs when Markie was a child. Later, Markie performed at house parties on Long Island until he felt confident enough to go to Manhattan and pursue a career in music. He began waiting outside on the stoop of producer Marley Marl’s house daily until Marley took notice of him. Marley assembled a group of rappers including Markie with Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Roxanne Shante, and others and called them The Juice Crew. Markie was especially known for his beatboxing, something he’d been doing since he was seven years old.

Markie’s first release, a 1986 EP titled “Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz”, was put out under the name Biz Markie “The Inhuman Orchestra”. Its title track became a minor R&B Chart hit. Two years later, “Vapors”, a single from his debut album Goin' Off, gave him his second appearance on the R&B Chart. Years later, Snoop Dogg’s 1997 cover of the song would take “Vapors” into the top 40 on the UK, Scotland and New Zealand pop charts.
